Claudio Bravo

[Icarium]

:/ Amazing first half though. Maybe I jinxed him.

Very poor display aside from a save in the first half. Imo it is time for MAtS in La Liga because he needs to play more frequently. This moment arrived.

We are still alive in 3 competitions and we finally have our starting 11.
This is SO NOT the moment for changes.

I noticed before that Bravo punches lot instead of catching. And how did he miss his close corner. and that uncomfortable distribution.

 

[mssarm]

and people here say MatS communications are bad, how about that blunder that Bravo and Pique had.

MAtS needs to play in La Liga too you know. This is the second poor game from Bravo in a row. Let the kid play his first La Liga match home vs Levante, a routine match.

He was bad at both goals.

The second goal wasn't Bravo's fault. The whole defense messed up. There was literally nobody to take the ball when he saved the first kick.

I agree, it's not a best time for the change because it will kill Bravo's confidence, but I think MAtS should be the first next year.

but he missed the near corner, right under his nose.

If it goes in through the short corner, the keeper is at fault. No denying though, that the defense messed up there as well.

What message does it send to players?

Also:
1. if Mats plays well, what then? To give him more time or what?
2. if Mats screws and costs our points, what then? How to explain that to players and fans?

Again, this is not the moment for Mats, Barta and Rafinha.
They will get minutes only when it is needed to rest key players.

When you find a right team, you can't ruin the momentum, confidence and chemistry because of a single player, who is not playing.
The whole team is more important than any player. No matter how young, popular or potentially good he is.

 

[Faceless]

I don't think MAtS should start just yet. Lucho shouldn't go back on his words.. After all MAtS is getting all the big games CL and CdR.

 

[Jägermeister]

May I ask what´s the point of rotating GKs in the first place?

 

[FC B]

I agree, it's not a best time for the change because it will kill Bravo's confidence, but I think MAtS should be the first next year.

Maybe by the next year time the much younger and inexperienced MAtS would have his confidence blown by that logic. You gotta let the kid play more especially home in routine matches.

 

[Flavia]

He had 2 very good saves in the 1st half. But he was at fault in both goals... He will be the liga gk until the end, can't see it changed. Nor it should, he's doing well.

 

[Kerrybai]

Bad for the second goal although that shot had some power on it, not as easy as it looks.

He will rightly remain number 1.
