To an extent City were ideal opponents for him, as they never really stick crosses into the box, but he did all that was asked of him very well indeed, and you'd easily say he was the better of the two keepers, which given the stature Bravo has in the game is no mean feat.

Bruce his record of clean sheets in a handful of games states he is the best we have atm!
 
I just love Joel ! far better than most give him credit for on here ! the amount he has improved from the 1st time he played for us is incredible ! the way he runs out and smothers the ball when the opposition have a chance is 2nd to none for me ! his massive frame helps but he must make the goal look really small when he comes flying out ! and if he runs the length of the pitch to celebrate a goal with the players even better !

I hope he can step up and be a good number 1 as I really like him. He has the tools and he definitely gets Everton. Seems a nice lad too.

But if not I do hope he sticks around as our number 2. It's nice to have a keeper who can come in on short notice, often after not playing in months, and put in consistently solid performances.

I don't think he'll be good enough, long term to match our ambitions, so I think we'll be looking for a top class keeper this Summer.

I agree with you that he'd make a solid backup, but, if we do buy a better keeper then I'm going to put what might be best for Everton to one side and hope that Joel goes in search of regular first team football, and proves himself, or not as the case may be.

He's 26, whether it's here, or elsewhere, he needs to be playing week in, week out. Being sat on the bench shouldn't be a long term plan for him.
 
I do agree that he is far better than some on here realise.
I think the fact that RK has left him in the team even though his previous first choice keeper is back from injury is significant.
I think he probably has a dozen games to show that he should be first choice in the long term...I certainly would not rule that out.

I just like him for his weird face and big flappy arms. First choice for me
 

Made a lot of things look easy yesterday, polar opposite of Stek who makes easy things look difficult.

Imagine Stek trying to catch Yaya's free kick lol
 
You can see the glee in his face as he lines up a hoof-ball up the pitch from a back-pass, free from the shackles of Martinez making him look like a muppet.

Edit: Look like a muppet in footballing ability terms...
