Claudio Bravo

[zanela]

I still see it there. Is it deleted?

Neva mind. It was visible on my phne but not on the comp. But it is now.

Bravo, recovering from calf injury, trained normally with the group today. Not ruled out that he'll be available for Leverkusen game. [md]

 

[Barcaman]

Great news

 

[serghei]

I'd play Stegen with Leverkusen, and have Bravo back in the league. If Stegen doesn't recover, then I'd play Bravo as no1 in all comps and loan Ter Stegen. One thing's for sure, I wouldn't start the CL knock-out fixtures with an out of form keeper. That could be very costly.

So, for me, Ter Stegen has until the end of the CL group stage to get his confidence back.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Fantastic he is back. I'd go with the above, Unleash him against Sevilla!

This whole "Same defense" garbage you've been spouting across both goalkeeper threads is absolute nonsense. Whenever Bravo has Mathieu as LB he concedes goals just as much. Bravo has not had to deal with a Pique who is just coming back from a major suspension and an Alves who is coming back from a major injury. Bravo has not had to play without Rakatic to help cover for the aforementioned recently injured Alves and for that matter, neither has he had to play with Adriano as the starting left back. Mats has also had to play without Vermaelen, who along with Roberto did a fantastic job of protecting our net. Bravo in his time starting has been along with our best defensive performances of the season. Can you think of any major saves Bravo had to pull out of the hat in those games? I can think of plenty of instances where Vermaelen and Roberto tackled the last man and saved the day.

You can keep throwing out your non-contextual stats and tie it up with the "Same defense" lie that you love so much but at the end of the day when a goalkeeper faces a striker with a wide open shot and has three more one on one situations you'll be lucky if Bravo himself even saves one of them.

Bravo marshals the defence and positions himself well, so it looks as if he never has to make a spectacular save.

What's funny about this is you will just as quickly go on to talk about all the great saves Bravo has made if that was the discussion. However, since at this current point in time being forced to make good saves is somehow a bad thing, I suppose I will leave this here.

Look at how terribly he's directing his defense. Awful.

 

[Observer]

Yeah, he's great at saving that terrible defense

Thanks for video

I don't understand how one could try and argue that he is so good at directing his defense that he doesn't have to make good saves. Such a ridiculous comment it actually made my head hurt. He's clearly very good at making saves when his defense screws up. I feel like I've been labeled a ter Stegen fanboy because I defend Mats but that could not be further from the truth. Bravo makes saves that make you bow down, but just like when Bravo can't make these saves, it's unfair to pin blame on Mats when he can't, either. If Bravo is fit I hope to see the keeper situation return to normal.

Would do the same minus the loaning out part. We still need a goalie for Copa.

I agree with you, dont worry about stupid stuff

Mats is a great keeper and so is Bravo, the hate/fanboy game is just for people who think football is the same as celebrity talk.

ter Stegen is not gonna stay to only play the Copa. That's stupid. Anyway, Lucho alluded at him continuing with the same setup, not everyone in the World makes stupid hasted decisions based on two games like so much of our fanbase. ter Stegen CL & Copa, Bravo LL.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

He has to play this weekend against Sevilla please!!!

Two games? Please count the amount of Ter Stegen fuck ups this season. He needs to be benched.

I count two.


Maybe you should go and replace Luis Enrique as Barça coach
