Claudio Bravo must convert fine Confederations Cup form back to City

As Claudio Bravo pushed away the third Portugal penalty in Chile's shoot-out win in the Confederations Cup on Wednesday, Manchester City fans found it hard to believe that it was the same goalkeeper whose weak wrists, poor footwork and lack of confidence cost Pep Guardiola's team so many goals last season.

Of course, it has to be remembered that not one of Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani -- who all failed to convert their kicks -- took a decent penalty, and once Bravo had gone the correct way, it was a simple stop. However, the simple stops proved troublesome for the Chilean at City last season, with a significant number of efforts that he could have kept out instead finding the net.
