    FYI #stonesisshite now concedes a league goal every 61 minutes

    £50m to start games 1.5 goals behind

    Bravo hasn't been great admitted but to be fair to him, he has Kolarov/Clichy at LB, Stones/Otamendi at CB and Sagna/Zabeleta at RB along with Toure or Zaberleta playing CM in front of him!

    I don't even think Neuer would look too good with that defence in front of him!

    Think this is more of a problem than the defenders in front of him

    Percentage of shots on target faced conceded - Premier League (min 10 games)
    Player Club Percentage conceded
    Tom Heaton Burnley 23.7%
    Hugo Lloris Tottenham 26%
    Jordan Pickford Sunderland 27%
    - - -
    Claudio Bravo Man City 42.6%
    Fraser Forster Southampton 43.3%
    Lukasz Fabianski Swansea 43.75%

    Doesn't mean much though... if he's facing 4 shots from 8 yards because his defence have let the opposition walk into the box, you can't expect him to make many saves.

    Be good to see clear cut chances to save %... or saves from inside the box outside the box etc.

    The funniest thing is how Bravo has been poor but everyone thinks Hart is a better solution. He's awful.

    True, it is a bit of a vague comparison, he does seem to let a lot past him that he could/should do better with though from what I have seen.

    I posted an optaJoe stat (if that makes sense to you) that he has let in 12 goals of 20 faced on target.

    That's a shocking statistic.

    Yep, I have seen optajoe quoted before :grin:

    Just goes to show he is not really suited to being a keeper, would probably be just as effective as a ball playing CH <laugh>

    I've seen a couple where ball has gone close to him and hasn't covered himself in glory.
    Looking at the 4 today, wasn't at fault for any of the 4 today from what I saw. Maybe the one that went through his legs, but was close range and hit hard.

    I think he's been iffy from crosses but seems to be a running theme amongst foreign keepers new to the league. I don't think they get as much protection here and takes them a while to adjust.

    Other than that, haven't seen any huge errors in his shot stopping

    Saw a stat the other day that he had 20 sweeps (2nd most) at a 68% success rate. Lloris had 21 with 100% success rate. He's been **** away from shot stopping too.

    lol deffo, it was sooo sad trying to see nev defend stones. Normally i hate Shearer as he always says the most obvious things and always blame lack of effort, poor defending etc etc and adds absolutely nothing but he was spot on with stones

    The other Phil then? McCunty's special report on the "top six" <laugh>

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38632129


    Mourinho is definitely moving United forward, but not fast enough to make them title contenders this season.
    Verdict: Top four should be the target. The title is now out of reach.


    Mourinho is moving Man Utd forward, but everyone else is moving forward faster. Isn't that called going backwards Phil? <laugh>

    No he made a 2 minute BBC video on how Mourinho #tacticalgenius made changes to "counter" Klopp. The genius change was to hoof the ball to Fellatio and Ibra throughout the 2nd half. If only the lower level managers like Fat Sam and Pulis knew this incredible method. We'd have #worldclass managers throughout the league. <ok>

    It takes a #brave manager to scrape a draw against an injury ravaged team thanks to an offside goal after being hyped all week as favourites

    he's got 500mil to spend and its the 16th jan right now with him STILL playing zabaletta at CM... and stone and otamendi at CB

    there is no excuse for this. the clubs ambitions and this transfer activity don't add up.
