Bravo instills more confidence and calm in defense. Anyone arguing otherwise must be blind.

I thought it was unzue. Because last season the defense was great, whether it was mats or Bravo on the goal, cl or liga. Guess I dreamed about that.

 

[Icarium]

You know what forget about it lucho will start bravo again when he is fit and that is the way it should be. Who cares if some people think mats should continue starting. Bravo is in awesome form and it is best to use him as much as possible.

 

[Jägermeister]

1v1 is unfortunate but the very best keepers can stop them. Valdes did it many times for us and bravo too.

A 1v1 like those today can only be saved if the attacker makes a mistake.
If you come out, decent player lob the ball or run past you, if you stay in, they just lay it into the corner. Both has been done today.

 

[Sumlit]

Everybody should know by now that [MENTION=15731]Sumlit[/MENTION] doesn't like Bravo. He was being ironic...

That is a preposterous and slanderous LIE! How dare you spread this calumny in such a despicable way.

You were the one who wouldn't commit to calling Bravo arguably top keeper in the world and deserving of a FIFA short list for BdO.

Who doesn't like Bravo now?!?

Oh, I see now. You're ironically praising players you like.

 

[Sumlit]

Oh, I see now. You're ironically praising players you like.

Why do you find it so difficult to accept Bravo praise. Man you really must dislike the guy.

 

[Hamzah]

Sumlit why are you taking the piss out of my point?

 

[DonAK]

Okay Einstein, tell me how Bravo would saved those three situations with photographic evidence. Let's see if you can argue his case instead of making generic comments all the time.

Still waiting [MENTION=2258]Hamzah[/MENTION]

^ Agreed.

 

[serghei]

Why do you find it so difficult to accept Bravo praise. Man you really must dislike the guy.

Because I don't see it as a sincere praise. I see it as irony.

 

[BarcaGirl]

Can't wait for the day when Bravo is in goal and we concede 4-5 Goals. I bet everyone's gonna blame the defence then. Right?

 

[goope]

Watching this game and only blaming MatS on the goals is just stupid.
As stupid as saying the goals in the past games were none of his fault at all.

Bravo is better. MatS is at least partly at fault for the goals he conceded the last games.

But if there was ever a game where it was the team's fault that we conceded goals and not MatS alone, it was this one.

I'm not gonna do a frame by frame breakdown, lol. My point stands and other people agree with me on that point, bravo is a more mature and assured leader and the defence rarely capitulates when he's in the net.

 

[serghei]

Sumlit why are you taking the piss out of my point?

That's a very good question.

 

[Flavia]

He is not the coach, but our defenders seem to be more comfortable when Bravo is the GK... Bravo wouldn't have saved us from a loss tonight that's for sure, and as I said before ter Dutruel had nothing to do with any of the 4 goals, but I do believe there is a communication problem when the german plays...

There was nothing of the sort last season. And as it was the 1st season, it would had make sense if that happened back then. Bravo is the better gk now, no doubt. 5 years ago he was suffering howlers like the one Villa scored on him in the wc, but he learned. This slaying of mats remind me of what happened to Valdes many times... And he wasn't to blame today. If it was Bravo there today, the defense would be rightfully blamed. Pique most of all, he was really bad. No gk can do much when the defense fail him like that.
