How much did you lot pay for Stones again?
To be fair to Stones he has been very good since he arrived, the fans love him.The jury is definitely out on Bravo though...
We are still in the driving seat to go through though....(just)
One thing's for sure, Pep's honeymoon period is over.
k up) I deffinately felt the game was ours. I didn't see a 4-0 thrashing coming our way.

I know Joe Hart isn't perfect, but as a Chelsea fan, can someone explain to me how Clownio Bravo is a better keeper.
And I know a bit about the subject of choosing the wrong keeper, as we binned off Cech for bloody Courtois!
Joe Hart appeared incapable or unwilling to play with the ball at his feet, that is the way Pep And I know a bit about the subject of choosing the wrong keeper, as we binned off Cech for bloody Courtois!
Wants his keepers to play, as they did at both at Barca and Bayern. By all account Bravo is a good keeper, equal to Ter Stergun but older so Barcelona were willing to let him go.

Fans seem to think that he is indecisive and malingering when in reality he is playing their forwards like a fiddle. Sure, now and again he will get it wrong but overall his contribution to the game far exceeds Joe's shot stopping and hoofing the ball into touch.

Not only that but Bravo's game is to draw the opposition forwards towards him when he has the ball. This way rather than boot it up to a midfield crowded with opposition players waiting for the hoof, the ball is played through a relatively spacious midfield (in theory) with our players pulling theirs out of position using a quick passing game.

It's a bit scary at times to watch but it works most of the time and adds rather than hinders to the teams efforts imo.Fans seem to think that he is indecisive and malingering when in reality he is playing their forwards like a fiddle.

Just wish Sterling would have the conviction to take a shot on sooner. He seems to always want to pass the buck (or ball...).
I was his biggest critic last season so it's great to see such a huge improvement but he still struggles to finish anything other than a gift.
A great night, either way.
