bravo is a beast though, i think your press is too quick to jump at him when he's just arrived and has trained only a short period with the team
but neuer was a sweeper-keeper since before pep so there's that whole nature vs nurture debate.
i don't recall valdés style of play off the top of my head this beer-soaked sunday morning but maybe you can compare-- you've seen a lot more years-back barcelona than me
so anyway here's a question for a pep studies seminar (ha ha ha)
if valdés is not able to fit the very specific demands of his new jefe--will pep insist and try to torture him into shape? or will he adapt the team to what valdés can do best?
bonus points for meaningful connections to the spanish baroque and the holy inquisition

It was a terrible debut. Besides the poor handling, he could've easily been sent off at one point. but then, DeGea started terribly when he joined the Prem and look at him now, so we'll have to see. It was shocking though.
But for all Pep's eccentricities, I like what he's done at MC so far. They'll win a helluva lot more games than they'll lose, playing that way, and when they're in full flow they are great to watch.
