Daktari posted:Sucks for man city. He was way better for them last season, compared to Bravo this season. Bravo just doesn't save shots. On the last Football Ramble they talked about how people say keepers are "good shot stoppers" and how you'd expect that, the better keepers are better at other things as well. They made the point that Bravo can distribute but can't save shots and gave some crazy stat that he's pretty much conceded every shot on target. I've no lost love for Hart, but the egg on Pep's sulky face is endlessly entertaining.

Am I missing him or does that list not have Toby Alderweireld, who is the best defender in the league by some distance.

tbh luiz is part of a team that is top of the league and in my eyes that usually makes him a pretty decent player.

Pep is so used to dominating leagues with 80% possession and needing a keeper who's more of a last-line midfielder that has to save one shot a game that he forgot to buy a keeper who can actually save that one shot

Didn't Luiz actually play a holding role at one point for Chelsea? I think it coincided with when he was scoring with free kicks all the time.

quote:Mauricio Pochettino could not disguise his smirk as he contemplated how one of the features of the new stadium growing next to White Hart Lane, the “Tunnel Club”, will give a select band of supporters a prime view of the action as the players come on and off the pitch. “Dangerous ...” the Tottenham manager said, eyes sparkling. “A lot of things will happen there. It will be very expensive.” Voyeurism and cheese, a potent combination.
