If I had Bravo I'd definitely bench Hart. No comparison, really. I have no idea who those skeptics are, just give Bravo sometime to adapt. He is better than most goalkeeprs, and he definitely was the best goalkeeper at Barcelona.

Probably one of the best they ever had.

I agree. He was let go because of his age, because Barca has younger talent that may blossom to a great goalkeepr, Stegen showed some promise but he is no Bravo yet. It doesn't hurt that Man City paid handsomely for Bravo too.

Well I (and no doubt many others) were already skeptical about him replacing Hart in the first place and so far he's only reinforced that skepticism. It seems pretty obvious that Guardiola will keep on playing him regardless so I can only hope that it was a one off poor performance and that he's usually much better. Here's hoping...

You sound like this is your first time seeing him play.There should be know skepticism when it comes to Bravo replacing Hart.You make I sound like Hart is in the top 5 best keepers.

I don't get it either, Hart is one of the worst famous goalkeepers. If I was a City fan, I'd be glad he is replaced. No big clubs were clambering to get Hart to play for them, Pep did what's right.

Bravo is an amazing keeper. Top 5 in the world. He played shit this game, but give him some time to get accustomed to a new team.

You must be English to think Hart is an excellent keeper.It is Bravo's first game in a different league I may add,and won.Hart is one of the so called top keepers that have been benched by every coach City had.He is a decent keeper at best,a good back up.

I'm not saying Hart is an excellent keeper, but based on that performance he's a hell of a lot better than Bravo! And they won despite Bravo's presence!

Bad game by Bravo but still he is better than Hart. Besides, it's not only that he is better, but he is also way better suited for what Pep wants from a keeper

Saints in Europe in 2 days, I think we should still get in another squad player from loan or free as after the first team, I think we lack in a few places.

Hmm, pie.
