Now benched. Haha
Okay, then we look at goalkeeping and the role and duties differently, fine with that
That 2nd video is comical. Everything either goes through him, or he dives out of the way. There's definitely been more than that his season too.
Nearly half of the 2nd clip are the same ones from the first clip. The Celtic goal is a deflection, not sure how you can fault him on that.Okay, then we look at goalkeeping and the role and duties differently, fine with that
This is fair enough. For Chile he’s been amazing and he is a better keeper than his performances this season suggest. However, with that experience, he should be doing much better. When it comes to the English press, you definitely have a point, although they seem to consider Pogba a bigger flop so far, haven’t actually seen them crucify Bravo that much. United star flopping sells more papers. I’ve just been very surprised how he’s failing at basic keeper stuff; crosses, passing, touches, shots straight at him. In those clips I posted, I’m no way saying that all the goals are his fault. Still, for me, he’s been a disappointing (of course I’m happy about it as a United fan) signing, and most City fans seem to agree.
If that's the case then City will be challenging for the league next season.
Yeah, ones that can actually clutch a ball. sorry
You don't have to deal with crosses in a penalty shootout.
Yeah I can give him that, his record at saving them speaks for itself. It's a shame he isn't City's goalkeeper this season, disgustan behaviour by his coach.You don't have to deal with crosses in a penalty shootout.
Bravo is a beast at saving penalties, one of the very best in the world (if not the best). He's proven it time and time again.
Yeah, he sucks at goalkeeping from open play and has sucked at that since the last 6 months of his time with us. What does that have to do with his penalty stopping abilities.
In what sense? I would argue Cech is more accomplished. Also a CL winner, more league titles and comfortably a better GK at his peak in my opinion, with a greater longevity/prime (still very good today at 35, and has been since he was 22).
Damn, I completely forgot about Cech. Yeah, he's arguably more accomplished than Bravo. However, Bravo captained Chile to 2 consecutive Copa America trophies. Chile had previously never won an international trophy before, and Bravo saved a penalty in the shootout in both finals.
No doubt about that, but accomplished and good are two different things.
Well that's a ridiculous statement, he had a good couple of years at Barcelona and was a solid goalkeeper for Sociedad, that doesn't make him that accomplished, De Gea at his tender age (for a goalkeeper) isn't that far behind in terms of trophies, and way ahead in terms of performances and ability, let alone Cech.
It's strange to count only his international accolades and discard the rest of his career.
There was a reason he was not featured in their champions league win in 2015
Interesting. Didn't think Ter Stegan was already at the club that season.
He's 37 in a few months. Short keepers who compensate with their lack of reach and physical dominance with exceptional reflexes and agility just tend to drop off a cliff once their reflexes start to decline, as they can't re adjust their games in the way the likes of VdS could. By the time they bought him it was already crystal clear he was on that path, so I've no idea why they've kept him on after he's proved over and over again he's not up to it.
