He's absolutely chod like. So so poor.

[NEEJ]

Horrific for the first goal, like. Good lord. 

[ponsaelius]

I'd attribute a decent amount of blame for both goals. You just don't think he's going to save anything most of the time.

[andyc35i]

We can’t play the way we want to play with a goalkeeper of his style, it just doesn’t work. He’s glued to his line and it constantly costs us

[Yorkie]

Such a weird goalie. Capable of brilliance but is routinely just a liability.

[Pilko]

Useless cunt. I hate him, honestly.

[Chris_R]

Pope stops the first 2 goals, I don't think there's much doubt about that.

 

The first one he'd have swept up, the second one he'd probably have just caught the shot but absolutely gets enough on to keep it out.

[Turnbull2000]

Can't believe he didn't come out for that first goal ffs

You not seen much of him then?

[CheikBoom]

Good grief, he's shite. Can we play rush goalie?

[Pilko]

Utter utter clown

[Donut]

Poor. Nearly cost us the victory at the end as well with that pathetic attempt at getting the ball. Needs to find his form and confidence fast!

[Guest]

He's shite like. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

Looks finished at this level ?

Aye really sad, still love him.

liability since the howlers at International level. Pope cant come back soon enough. 

 

All of our keepers bar Pope need to go this summer.

I'd be looking at a number 1 anyway. Haven't been convinced by Pope fully for a while.

Gillespie will be kept as 3rd/4th choice.

Not sure there’s a poorer profile of keeper for the type of football we play

Pope is the least of our problems.

[Pablo]

Tough call for the starting keeper next season. If our long term target becomes available I think we will bite. Love Nick Pope and this could be harsh on him.

i still struggle to get over Dubs deserting us for Manure, and he really hasn’t covered himself in any glory since despite an undeserved extended run. I thank him for what he did for us under Rafa, but his day has gone.

[NWMag]

So so poor

If he's got a weakness with his shoulder and the backups are shite (plus he'd not been the same for a while either), then it's still a big problem.

Baffling we've stuck to it when it's clear he doesn't suit it.

He did seem to really suffer after some howlers in the Euros or WC. I want to say against Spain? Did he have an injury, as well. Or have I imagined the injury?
 

Feel a bit sorry for him to a point for the first. Awful defending and no pressure on the ball in midfield. If he came flying out and didn’t get there. He’d get stick from fans for it. But not sure back peddling and giving Antonio all the time in the world to make a decision was the best idea. Starting position must have been questionable, again. 

 

The second I think a better keeper saves it. Gets a strong hand to it. 

 

The third he was dreadfully exposed. So it’s hard to criticise. But again. Never seems to do anything for one on ones to force the attacker into a decision. Just retreats until they’re set and then they shoot. 
 

Howe’s tactics and also the team in front of him are equally to blame. As the fact we keep playing this way with a keeper scared to come off his line is just suicidal.
 

But I’m now at the point where I’d rather see Karius. If we really are going to keep on like this. As there is acres in behind our back 4 every week and Dubs is always in no man’s land.
