Claudio Bravo

Underrated

 

[Kerrybai]

Damn he made a huge save... love this guy.

 

[Zinedinho]

He's very solid. Him and Ter Stegen have a great mentality.

This. I hate when Barca fans act like it's a travesty that he's number one in the league over MATS when he's been excellent.

Yeah, he's such an underdog. People get obsessed with youth. If Bravo was 21 he'd be god

Both Bravo and MATS have been good. MATS doesn't deserve to start over Bravo in the League. And Bravo doesn't deserve to start over MATS in the cups.

I reckon Bravo would have saved that Villarreal goal in the copa at Camp Nou. Imagine that was a Man city goal

Bravo is plenty prone to mistakes as well. His career record offers vast evidence of this.

Bravo is doing well and there is no reason to change what is working so far, but Bravo has a track record of being just a good keeper, not great, and sooner or later he'll prove it.

The keeper dynamic so far is working well and I would not change it for the moment. But Bravo is just a good keeper at best, and MAtS is the future.

This can go both ways.

This.

I think Mats has amazing ability with his feet.

MaTS career record is also littered with mistakes. In fact this can be said for most keepers.

Also some keepers are late bloomers, Bravo in his later years has become a much better keeper, for example he was one of the best at the World Cup.

 

[Alen]

We, Barça fans, are dreamers and ambitious people so some of us prefer MATS because he has enormous potential. He is playing as good as Bravo right now yet he is 21. He has a much higher ceiling and could end up being a great one, not just a very good one.

I wouldn't say he was one of the best at the world cup. All across the board goalkeepers were putting in some incredible performances. He was easily outshined by the keepers of Mexico, Nigeria, USA, Germany, etc.

As far as his "Later years" go, the only really good season he's had that I can see is this one in particular. He was one of the worst keepers I'd ever seen last season and that's why I was initially upset to see that we'd signed him.

A short tournament like the WC is a poor sample to judge a player. Bravo's previous season in La Liga for Sociedad is a better sample to judge him with, both because it was recent and because it was lengthy, and there again showed the issues that have made him the above average at best, but certainly not great keeper he is.
