Brahim is the next David Silva if he continues to develop. He's incredible.



Tall order but he's impressive. He's got that glue on his boots like Silva. Just insane control.

Kompany and Sane both fit. DeBruyne was sick, should be able to go.

Ok. I'm gonna say it. Get rid of Pep and bring back Hart.

This team is going to finish out of Europe

7 points in 7 matches v. Top 6 and 3 points v. Top 4 ain't gonna cut it.

I'm with you on the Hart part.

I mean seriously, what a god awful signing. I've wanted to defend Bravo but he's just shite.


ETA: He's just such shite. If we're just sticking someone that is "good with their feet" back there GK ability be damned, then throw Silva between the sticks.

At some point we have to have someone that can make plays. Our defense is just as poor as last year, but we're getting SHREDDED this year. Joe could keep us in games.

Why? Has the team even allowed a goal because of this since the preseason? I think this says a lot more about you than it does about Bravo's ability with the ball at his feet.

He's very good with the ball at his feet, and he's very good at passing from his position. Even his long balls give the team's small attackers a chance to win the ball because he does a flat long ball. Hart's only kick was to sky it as high as possible in the air, and hope for the best.

City are 3 pts out of second place. You'd swear we were in 10th.

probably so. i'm a nervous fan. still, i'd trade him for someone that i'm confident can stop shots.

he's saved 31 shots from 56 on target, which is good for the fourth worst save success rate in the last 10 premier league seasons. i know our defense doesn't help him much, but i'm not confident in bravo at all.

Our back line blows, and Bravo blows.

Next season. Get new goalie, get Danny Rose, and get a RB.

It's crazy to think we're sitting as well as we are. I think the panic is more on the fact that we just got our asses rocked by Everton and Spurs are up next.

I don't even want to think about the upcoming UCL tie.



While we have let in a crap ton of goals from poor play, I'll be the first to say the blame isn't all on Bravo, it's on the defense and midfield not getting back or covering.

For the most part, I know that I'm more frustrated with the fact that I can't recall one spectacular save he's made. He's been left on an island way too many times, but a keeper of his supposed quality should steal us some points at some point wouldn't you agree? I mean Hart did that shite all the time. He was a BIG part of the reason we even did as well as we did last season in the Champions League.

Very little chance, but when you have unlimited money and a coach named pep, nothing is ruled out. Plus, he seems to be city's big target

Spurs have gotten to a point where they (Daniel Levy) pretty much refuse to sell their big-named stars within the league.
13% chance of it going through, tops.
