ExiledGeordie Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I think he’s fine to deputise for a good few months or second half of the season if necessary. If there’s concerns about Pope longer term we might look to recruit next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Just hoping he can work on his sweeper keeper part of his game if it's him eddie decides to go with. Karius looked half decent at it in a few friendlies and cup final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) I've been to the Stats Shelf and I have summoned forth the mighty comparison table based on incomplete and questionable data. Basically tells us nowt we don't already know. Nick Pope tall and good in the area. Dubravka better with passing. Both have similar goal saving ability. In conclusion, we'll be fine and will turn on Dubravka just as quickly as we turn on Nick Pope when he doesn't save every single shot at goal.

Not having Pope will cost us a few goals, certain of it, but not as much as not having Isak & Wilson at the other end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Not his fault for the defeat but fucking hell, I reckon I could find a local Sunday morning keeper who'd save that third one. Piss poor at his near post when it's the only place the guy can hit it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Poor for the third. Can only think he expected whoever was tracking the Everton player to do something other than run next to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Already sick of him being rooted to his line Footwork and passing was good, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Third goal was a little suspect, but it was a decent finish in fairness, even if Dubs should probably save it. Thought he was alright overall through, looks like a walking coffin mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Can't blame him for much to be honest, his first game back in a while and wasn't helped at all by his defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Looked absolutely shite, like. We'll soon see the difference Pope make to our defence if Dubs carries on like that. Poor in every department really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 It was the anti-Pope performance, decent kicking and on the ball, poor shot stopping and command of crosses. He should improve with more games though hopefully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 It's harsh to say he "should" save the first goal. However, I think Pope would have saved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay man give him a chance ffs 😂 I agree he looked shaky but he wasn’t shite and was bound to be a bit rusty. No doubt Pope is bar better though.

Problem is Pope could well have saved that. Not Dubravka’s fault but the drop off will cost us points unfortunately. Injuries are just ridiculous!
