Twitter reacts to Claudio Bravo being Claudio Bravo

He literally moves out of the way

Pep, Pep, Pep. What were you thinking mate?

As shit hot as Claudio Bravo might be at playing sideways passes to Bacary Sagna with his feet, when it comes to saving shots – a fundamental part of being a goalkeeper – he’s just not that good.

Having farmed Joe Hart out on loan to Torino and made Bravo his number one at the start of the season, it seems Pep might have realised this.

Lately, he’s been benched for Manchester City’s league games, with Willy Caballero – the man that was understudy to Hart – taking his place.

But on Wednesday night, Pep gave Bravo a chance to show what he could do in an FA Cup replay against Championship Huddersfield . Unfortunately for Claudio, he showed (again) what he couldn’t do. Save the fucking ball.

Presented with a shooting opportunity, Harry Bunn’s effort didn’t appear to be the most powerful and was fired right down Bravo’s throat. Somehow though, he managed to get out of its way, presenting Huddersfield with an unlikely lead.

Needless to say, those watching weren’t impressed…

Thankfully for City, Leroy Sane pulled them level later in the half before Sergio Aguero put them ahead from the spot.
