So he put in a 10/10 performance? Come on! He's not good enough as are most of his defensive colleagues
Our best centre back at the moment. When MDM played the team adapted to the fact that he was slow as a tortoise and it worked. If we don't leave Kolarov to be the last man he's our best centre back.

Come on mate, if Usain Bolt runs passed you with your TV you're not catching him are you. Hazard isn't Bolt but he's a lot faster than Kola. If you want to blame anyone blame God for not making him as fast.

Hart is never coming back. Even if we lose 6-0 at home to the dippers and he throws the ball in his own net three times, Bravo will not be replaced by Hart. He may well not be here next season, we shall see but Hart is finished at City whilst Pep is in charge and I suspect it has a lot more to it than footballing ability.
I agree that Caballero will probably be given a run out as he has done relatively well when he's been called upon. I don't want to and won't write Bravo off yet, but he has a lot of work to do

I wouldn't especially blame him for the goals today, but he simply doesn't save anything.
He might as well not be there. When somebody went one on one with Hart you still fancied they had plenty to do, you never think that of Bravo.
He couldn't stop a draught.
City and sniffing knickers.

Moreover, over the years Hart has built up a bit of a reputation in 1 v 1 situations, which must put doubts in any attacker's mind, plus additional pressure, in such instances.

amazing how those defending him have now turned on him. it was obvious from the start that he was totally unsuited to playing in the premier league

This guy is a huge mistake by Pep.
And let's be honest Pep is showing that he isn't a tactical genius. This is no better than last season.

He shouldn't be playing in a high line if he can't hack the pace Mase, there was a few occasions today when his lack of pace cost him, there was also another pathetic attempt at a first time clearance that he sliced wildly that could have gone anywhere and again ballooning the ball when there's absolutely no need and losing possession as a result.
On Bravo, I agree with the consensus on him today, should do more to try make himself big, not writing him off but jury is still out.
Oh and forget about Hart, it's not going to happen.

Bravo is not an upgrade. He inspires no confidence whatsoever.

I wouldn't go that far. Pep IS a tactical genius. His pedigree proves it. These are growing pains and I have confidence Pepman will get it right eventually.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I've spoken with one of Hart's good mates numours times and he's said he's 100% not coming back whilst Pep is here.

I sometimes wonder if he is trying to go too much too fast.

Not too bothered, he gets better with every game he doesn't play. We seem.to forget the issues last season or in summer where any shot to his left went in.
But Bravo is not an upgrade, he's worse.

He said it himself in an interview a few days ago

You're joking right? He was bullied out of the game when he had a bit of defending to do second half.

Otta was atrocious, but it's compounded by Clowndio in goal.
I honestly believe he's one of the worst keepers in the league.

I'm struggling to think of one in the top half of the table, apart from maybe the ones at the dippers.
He is one of the 5 keeper nominees for FIFA team of the year, so either he paid a lot of money to someone or he was once good. But he currently looks as bad as Seamen did when he played for us

Do you honestly think he did well on the second goal? He was very slow to react to Willian run and was never getting back. I don't rate him as a full back defensively and think he is a liability at centre half but I can't blame him if manager chooses to select him there
