SteV Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 When you do what they did, with a man like Jesse Lingard, they’ve gone down in my estimation. I would love it, love it, if we told them to fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Howay man de Gea has been one of the best ‘keepers in the last few years overall, he’d walk into our side. Yes he makes mistakes and his kicking is way off these days, but doesn’t our own Dubravka get criticised for the same thing? I swear, keepers are judged far too harshly and it seems the standard expected of them is off the chart. A striker misses a chance, he got into a goalscoring position = positive. A ‘keeper flaps at the ball from a cross, can’t command his line = negative. We’d be crazy to let Dubravka go mind, unless he wants to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird that you want to play pass out from the back, have De Gea who is League One standard with his feet and positioning then go for a slight upgrade that isn't really good enough. Clinically insane.

David Edgar Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'm serious. Pope is miles better than De Gea commanding his area, sweeping and distributing quickly with throws. Both are top shot stoppers and both are rubbish with their feet. All-round, Pope all day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 For what it's worth, I actually like Pope and think he's a good keeper. He's a similar level to Henderson IMO. I used to think Henderson was better but he had his wobbles when he got the chance at us. I think De Gea is a victim of his own success though. I'd agree with the criticisms that he isn't a modern keeper with the ball at his feet, but our decline as a successful football club would have been a darn sight faster if he wasn't in goal. He has been absolutely immense for 9.5/11 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 If you're asking me this season who I want in my team out of De Gea and Pope, then I'm picking Pope without blinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could change in the near future of course, but few of your team would get into our 11. What you boys might find mental is that if I had any choice of a Newcastle player right now for this season, it would be Trippier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen enough of Botman yet, but Joelinton certainly wouldn't now with Casemiro there. And Wilson ahead of Cristiano? Really? Bigger shout for ASM.

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Botman's been poor so far tbh, not sure why you'd choose him over any of Man Utd's players just yet. Joe walks into most teams in the league though. He's an absolute beast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
