3 Goalkeepers who are currently not Premier League standard

The Chilean’s half-season in the English top-flight has been nothing short of tragic, and similarly to boss Pep Guardiola, struggling to adapt to Premier League life may just be an understatement.

Guardiola decided to offload Joe Hart in order to bring Bravo to the club and make him City’s No.1 – what a mistake this has proved to be.

Hart had time and time again proved the quality that he possesses, granted the odd mistake, but always managed to put it behind him instantaneously.

Pep opted to sign Bravo because his footwork was significantly better than Hart’s, but if you watched the Manchester Derby this season, you would know how untrue that statement proved to be.

Bravo has conceded 14 of the last 20 shots faced, four of them away to Everton last Sunday in yet another miserable performance.

Maybe in the future, Guardiola should focus on the goalkeeper’s ability to save a shot (which for the record, Hart also beats Bravo hands down).
