#2 Willy Caballero made Claudio Bravo look like Messi
One position that has come under immense scrutiny since the arrival of Guardiola is that of the side’s goalkeeper. The departure of Joe Hart on loan to Torino was followed with Claudio Bravo’s blunder against Manchester United and going by his performance in the game against Swansea, it seems like Caballero wasn’t able to shake off the curse that has been associated with being a Manchester City keeper.
He had a torrid time in possession as he gave the ball away cheaply on numerous occasions, even presenting Borja Baston with a golden opportunity to score, which the Spaniard missed. While he did compensate for his inefficiencies as a sweeper keeper, he did make some crucial saves to ensure that his side progressed to the next round.
It is an established fact that Guardiola loves a goalkeeper who is comfortable in possession of the ball and is efficient with his distribution, traits which the Argentine failed to demonstrate and we expect the goalkeeper to have yet another season where he makes appearances in bits and pieces.
