Tbf, Bravo gave Pep no other choice than signing another keeper after his bad performances. Pep risked a lot with Bravo's signing as he kicked out a club "legend" for him. It didn't work out for both sides I'd say, but yes, if Pep doesn't like you you're fucked. Football is a tough business and when you're a keeper even more once you lose your starting spot...

All in all we have to thank Pep for signing Bravo. We got more than we paid for him and our longterm-solution has become one of the best in world football.

I think Pep gets too much shit for his man management at times. He's made it clear. You respect me and the team and do your job otherwise you're out.

Ibra is Ibra and saw himself as a God at every team, came to Barcelona where there were better players. Never heard Pep's side of the story, but cannot take everything Ibra says at face value either.

Love Eto'o, but he's always had a strong personality to the point Dongou got afraid of joining the Cameroon NT as he threatened him over the guy dropping his agent lol

Mandzukic and Pep fell out because the latter valued team performances and goals over his desire to become top scorer.

Ribery always been a shithead who cannot even speak his own language properly. Loved Pep then hated him. Loved Ancelotti then played a major role in getting him sacked.

As long as Bravo doesn't kick up a fuss, it'll be no problem.

No one really gives Pep shit for it and in most cases purely from playing point of view he has probably been right in calls he has made on those players.

Just he is a fucking weird guy that can quickly disconnect from players and leave them seeing him as a bit of a bullshitter. Which doesnt really matter when the ones playing still fully believe in him.

Think it is opposite in general that people over state how much former players love him etc. An example being Messi who get the impression never had the desire to go work with Pep again while reports would often have you believe he sees Pep as some god to go work with at City.

When Pep sees no use for you to him he is quick to dump you. Not just players look at how he dropped Tito.

Ibra and Eto'o played great before and after Pep and under different managers so the problem (while both being hot-headed) was not in them.

Pep is not to blame. Bravo got his chances but did terrible, even after alot of mistakes pep gave him another chance. PL football is different and they play alot more with crosses etc.

He has much bigger problems than just crosses. Almost every shot on target was a goal at one point.

Could be a career ending injury. It would be a shame if he had to retire like that, he deserves better.

Liekly ending his career at top level (unless he is interested in just getting his wage from City next season) but will probably play few years in lower level leagues.
