“Can you find the only thing He lost today?”
Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo says that he was “comfortable” during his Manchester City debut against Manchester United on Saturday.
What are your thoughts?
‘There is going to be a circus around him now in the media and teams coming up will have watched that game and be closing him down and forcing a mistake, ‘ said ex-City keeper Nicky Weaver, speaking exclusively to 888 Sport.
Asked about how he felt amid a highly charged atmosphere, Bravo said: “Good, good”.
“Good, good. Comfortable. We have a team here that has personality, we are improving day by day and the matches that we want to win are these, against our rivals, and for that reason I am happy”.
The introduction of Herrera and Rashford to add pace and precision changed the outlook but we were still unable to break down Pep Guardiola’s side, which left plenty of frustrated fans inside Old Trafford because had we not put out such a unusual team in the first half we could really have changed the outlook of the game.
Now they share a city and the desire for Premier League glory, with Guardiola striking the first blow as a fine first-half display saw City run out 2-1 victors as United’s 100 per cent start to life under Mourinho came to a halt.
“It was a very important victory for us”.
