MANCHESTER, England -- With one of the worlds best strikers bearing down on him, Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo had a quick decision to make as he received the ball five meters (yards) outside his penalty box. Aledmys Diaz Astros Jersey .Smash it downfield and quickly retreat to his area? Or keep possession and instigate another attack for his team?Most goalkeepers in that situation would choose the safer first option, but not Bravo. Instead, he attempted a delicate lob-pass over Luis Suarez to teammate Fernandinho -- and completely fluffed it.The mis-hit pass went straight to Suarez, whose goal-bound return shot was blocked by the outstretched hands of Bravo outside the area. Immediate red card and, just like that, any realistic chance of City fighting back from 1-0 down vanished at Camp Nou.City lost 4-0 to Barcelona on Wednesday in a Champions League game that turned on this avoidable mistake by Chiles international goalkeeper in the 53rd minute.The author of the error was perhaps not Bravo, but his coach.One of Pep Guardiolas footballing philosophies is that the goalkeeper must play the ball out from the back at all costs. Thats why, months into his tenure at City, Guardiola made the big call to drop long-serving goalkeeper Joe Hart and sign Bravo from former club Barcelona.There will be no change. It stays the same, Guardiola said after the Barcelona match. Im sorry, until the last day of my career as a coach, I will try to play from our goalkeeper.Guardiola knows its a risky approach -- he says so openly and regularly -- but he believes the value of retaining possession outweighs the chances of making a mistake.Most of the time, when we play good, it starts from there, he said.However, having that rigid policy at his previous clubs, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, is fine considering the quality and type of goalkeepers and defenders that Guardiola had at his disposal. At City, the technique of some of his players isnt as good and he may be asking too much of defenders like Nicolas Otamendi, Gael Clichy and Pablo Zabaleta to keep possession in often exacting situations.Bravo is one of the best ball-playing goalkeepers in the world -- he started out as a forward as teenager -- and center back John Stones was also bought by Guardiola this summer for the primary reason that he is good with the ball at his feet. The rest of the back line is not so comfortable, however.Very brave, but very stupid, was the verdict of former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane, analyzing on British television, when asked about the way Guardiola encourages Bravo to play the ball from the back.Bravo has had an up-and-down start to his City career.Handed his debut in the Manchester derby against United at Old Trafford, he dropped a high ball to allow Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score a goal that reduced the deficit to 2-1.Later that game, Bravo might have been shown a red card and conceded a penalty when he dribbled away from Ibrahimovic in his area, only to take a heavy touch and then dive in studs-first at Wayne Rooney as the forward went for the ball. Bravo just about connected with the ball.Otherwise, he has looked composed and convincing with the ball at his feet -- until his high-profile Camp Nou mistake.It is a game of mistakes and correct decisions, Bravo said. Its just bad luck that I was the person that changed the course of the game, but its like that. Mike Scott Astros Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Billy Wagner Astros Jersey . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one.

BOISE, Idaho -- Sam Ryder, Adam Schenk and Keith Mitchell each shot 7-under 64 on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the Web.com Tour Finals Albertsons Boise Open.Ryder birdied the first four holes and five of the first six at Hillcrest Country Club. The 26-year-old former Stetson player, 31st on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list, bogeyed the ninth, birdied the 12th and eagled the par-5 16th.I birdied my first four holes, so that never hurts, Ryder said. I just drove it well, drove it in the fairway for the most part, and I just holed a couple putts early. Thats kind of been the difference maker for me -- the putter. When I manage to make some putts, Ive been able to put some good scores together. So seeing some putts go in early jump-started the round for me.Schenk had nine birdies -- the last a 35-footer on the par-4 18th -- and two bogeys. The 24-year-old former Purdue player was 40th on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list.Got off to a nice start early. Didnt make many mistakes out there really, Schenk said. Hit a lot of wedges at the pin. On this golf course, if you hit wedges good, you can shoot a good number because you have so many of them. And made a couple long putts like on the last hole, so if you can some putts and hit your wedges good, youre going to shoot a low one.Mitchell eagled the par-4 ninth and had six birdies and a bogey. The 24-year-old former Georgia player was 70th on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list.I was kind of in control of my game, Mitchell said. I started off a little shaky andd had to drop on the second hole. Roger Clemens Jersey. I missed a couple of greens to start, but my short game was doing well today, and it kept me in it.

They are competing against each other for tour priority, with regular-season earnings counting in their totals. The other players are fighting for 25 cards based on series earnings.Its crazy ... three more rounds away from potentially getting a PGA Tour card, which sounds kind of crazy, Schenk said. You cant get ahead of yourself, but if I play three more solid rounds, Ill have a good chance, but there will be some low scores this week.Rory Sabbatini Ryan Brehm, Brett Drewitt and Hiroshi Iwata shot 65, and Stuart Appleby, Scott Stallings, Andrew Johnston, Ollie Schniederjans, Trey Mullinax, Xander Schauffele, Julian Etulain, Matt Jones, Rob Oppenheim and Luke Guthrie were at 66.Bryson DeChambeau opened with a 69.
