1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

[Mandrake]

Well, you were quite wrong yourself implying Bravo was a demi-god who would do well anywhere when he's been catastrophical in England.

I don't know where I implied that. I wasn't actually too sure City was the best team for him. In Chile, most people were really happy with the transfer since he would get more playing time and he would be playing with Pep. I had my doubts he'd adapt correctly to the premier league. Language barrier, more physical game, different pace.

Bravo has been playing in Spain for the last 10 years. Changing to the premier league is quite a challenge, even for a keeper of his quality.

And what I do know, is that he was demi god for Barca for 2 seasons which we stupidly let go.

He's the one who demanded to leave. Wanted more playing time...

No wonder "post-truth" was declared the word of the year.

Mr Freeze at it again

 

[FlaFCB]

He'd never save that, but he doesn't even try. So the savable ones might also get in. The gk coach should be noticing this too, as everyone else is, and do something.

Seems kind of hard to react to as well. Didn't have much to do, but liked his decisiveness in the second half when he ran outside the box to clear the ball.

 

[Barcaman]

He freezes all the time but tonight he couldn't do much really.

His ball distribution was poor imo.

 

[Barcilliant]

Not only should we be looking at a rb next summer we should look out for a new keeper too.

He seems to be almost hypnotized by watching the ball passing him.

Should be nicknamed Olaf.

 

[Horatio]

Was a terrific shot. Nothing he could've done.

 

[Barcilliant]

Was a terrific shot. Nothing he could've done.

Problem is he isn't active or reactive. Didn't try to rush out and close the angle, didn't try and save the shot either.

Always rooted to the ground ball watching.

No one was expecting the ball to be passed to the back, same goes for him. When he realized, he tried to step forward but it was too late, because the player was already shooting the ball.

Doesn't believe? Watch the angle from behind him. I watched and this was exactly what happened.

I think the critical moments for the goal were when Alba couldn't intercept the ball AND Umtiti didn't slide for it, like Mascherano would do.

Agreed!
He should definitely try, even if it looks hopeless.
Imagine Messi, Suarez or Neymar NOT trying to get a ball when success is not guaranteed...
Something is wrong with this guy and because the 2017 season will be extremely hard, this is a vital discrepancy that needs to be solved somehow.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Ok,he freezes a lot,but this time there is no reason to complain about him freezing.
Ball was shot in opposite direction to his body movement,strong shot from close distance. That was a time that most GKs would freeze tbh.

 

[God Serena]

You'd be hard pressed to find a keeper who doesn't freeze when the ball is shot in the opposite direction they're about to dive. In such situations you have no choice but to guess which way the ball is going too, that's why you need defenders to at least be there to pressure the shot. Even Bravo in his prime here would have stood there and watched it go in.
