Then brilliant tonight. Single handedly stopped it being a Rugby League score and deserves all the praise coming his way tonight. Shame the rest of them let him down. Defence have been woeful and placid, again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Don't think anybody hates him just merely pointing out that he's a lot more inferior to Pope than many of us feared based on what many of us can see with our own eyes that he instills zero confidence and which is backed up by every parameter (results, goals against) other than one good game, which after a couple month is a pretty modest defence.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 3 or 4 genuinely top drawer saves, the rest were fairly standard but needed to be made, not a lot he could do for any of the goals (never a foul for the pen). Hopefully he gains a bit of confidence from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 As Dubravka hater he did well. Mostly poor finishing, mind. Here’s to signing an upgrade on him (easy) and Pope (not so easy) in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 did well but still pushing too many shots straight back into play rather than pushing them wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s he been shite for weeks? One bad game away at Spurs - blame the people in front of him for the rest. Madness some of our fanbase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Made the saves you would expect. Flapped shots back into dangerous areas and got lucky. Fine for a backup but I really miss Pope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 He’s clearly better than Pope with his feet. Yes, he’s obviously not as good overall but think the critisism towards him has been over the top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine for a backup but I really miss Pope. Means little coming from you given your eternal vendetta but I do broadly agree in this case. He did extremely well keeping his composure in front of that onslaught but the only save which wasn't fairly routine was the one from Nunez in the first half. Pope is clearly an immense loss to our defence, despite Dubs probably having the edge on him in terms of distribution. Still, at least he isn't the absolute lost cause I thought he was a short while ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Pope being out is making a really massive difference. It feels strange to say that after Dubs made a lot of good saves yesterday but... The defensive line doesn't know where to position itself when he's playing because he never comes off his line and they are second guessing themselves as a result. I've seen more of our defenders make mistakes when trying to keep a defensive/offside line in recent weeks (Burn, Trippier, Livramento, Botman all been guilty in the past couple of weeks alone) than I have in all the time Pope has played for us. Pope's aggressive sweeping and presence lets them play higher (+ crucially closer to the midfield line) and more confidently. IMO it's time we went out and got a similar keeper to Pope who isn't allergic to the ball at his feet. Seems harsh on Pope but this is the second time he's had this shoulder injury and that's a concern on top of his lack of ball playing ability. Don't ask me who we should get like, 'cause I've no idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
