He is very young and he can actually benefit learning from Bravo, then surpass him in year or two. Leadership, communication, experience in avantgarde defensive system that requires rather active goalkeeper role (Chile) - Bravo is more than adequate temporary replacement for Valdes. Whole...

No worry, someone will blame Bravo sooner or later.

Forget it.

From what I saw, he's comfortable with his feet, good distributor and very agile. From what I gathered, he's a very good keeper. His stats and the fact he's NT captain back it up. On the other hand, there are few forum posters with unhealthy agenda against a player because apparently he isnt...

Very few so cant pass any judgement. From what I gather he's more than decent and I guess they saw something in him. He's now our player and it would be extremely stupid to deny him starting place under current circumstances. For the record, i hope Ter Stegen proves to be world beater and gets...

How many Bravo's matches did you exactly watch?

How many Bravo matches did you actually watch. Your line of reasoning is same as those who considered Valdes to be crap because of occassional blunder in high profile match. Or Busquets = worst diver evah because of Inter game.

No. Player cant be judged solely by stats. But they do tell something abput his quality. Btw Atleti and Chelsea are more proactive in their matches against lesser opposition. Yes, Bravo is really dross. Barcaforum knows the best.

It is not that simple. Context is important. For example, Levante was a side who soaked up pressure and allowed opposition to take initiative. That approach results in more shots on goal conceded, but many of which were not difficult to deal with, as they came from trying to break through...

Again, Bravo has made the most saves in La Liga for last 2 seasons. How exactly are Willy and Navas better than him and why is Ter Stegen keeper of so much higher level? Ter Stegen is potentially great and he will have time to prove it and earn his spot. Barca plays many matches throughout the...

Barca CB is more like other teams' DM. Team needs at least one aggressive, quick on turn, tactically aware defender who can hound opposition runners and participate in midfield pressing. Preferably with leadership abilities. Puyol did that and he was far from conventional CB, also with his set...

I can't understand why people fail to see Mascherano was designed to play in Barca's heart of defense. It is far from conventional CB role, and many current 'elite' CBs would be heavily exposed in it. Puyol was nowhere near conventional CB. Every single Barca coach sees it. But I guess Barca...

Sums up this new generation of Barca fans perfectly. Sadly this club is every day a bit closer to Chelsea, Real, City, PSG... in every way.

He's a deadweight. Should have traded him for BENATIA and give captaincy to Ter Stegen.

He was a constant menace for Macedonia though. Pressing, getting into good positions and adequate in build up, like old Pedro. He just seems to have lost an edge to his game, his decision making was quite bad at times.

Ter Stegen for all his talent is actually very prone to brainfarts. Btw I havent watched him much in Sociedad and doubt anybody bar their supporters or football scouts did. He made a good impression with Chile and stats do tell something about his quality. I'm not biased towards any of our 3...

Not to mention he was great for Chile NT and is actually excellent with ball at his feet. But I guess he is ancient at 31 and has bad 'skill levels' at FM.

Great argument. Pinto is almost 40. Bravo is in goalkeeper prime and has plenty experience.

This Bravo hate fest is extremely stupid. He's not fancy enough and doesnt fit FM fantasies so there you go. He's the most experienced and proven keeper of all 3. And those are the most important things for a keeper.

This guy has nothing on prime Alves as a fullback. Alves is primarily attacker and prone to brainfarts, but has/had outrageous workrate and energy that made him competent defender. And while Cuadrado is more skillful and better at taking on players, Alves at RB was one of the most productive...
