Stuff like this surely also hampers his chances of getting back in as it could be interpreted as weak if he’s now put in the starting 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I mean he was still our player till the summer like. Yeah it was a shit decision to drop him, but no idea why people think he's been hard done by.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Would have him back in for the final. The fact he can kick a ball is the main + but Pope's inferred better shot stopping ability hasn't really been on show this season when he's played. So there is no real benefit to playing Pope at the moment other than he sweeps up slightly better, but shits himself when he gets the ball so not sure if it's all that helpful .

Tsunami Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 How many goals had Dubs contributed to with his distribution? Pope’s throwing contributed to 2 at the weekend. Pope’s passing is woeful but it hasn’t cost us a goal. Howe has got to get the defence and Pope drilled into not exposing his lack of control. We mustn’t forget that Dubs is hardly Pirlo, that he’s just turned 36 and isn’t as good a keeper as Pope. Pope turns 33 in April and he’s definitely lost something. Hopefully a run of games will help him. He’s been criticised for both Forest’s & Lpool’s 1st goals. He’ll be disappointed for both but Murphy was at fault for the Forest goal with (imo) Pope being caught closer to his line than he’d have been if there’d been a normal attack and not us gifting possession around our penalty area. Lpool’s 1st went through 2 sets of legs with 6”7” Burn standing on the 6 yard line. I think that’s a far harder save to make than it looked. Give Pope the opportunity to play himself into better form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 He did nothing to warrant being dropped and Eddie has now dug himself into a corner with how bad Pope has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I really can’t understand this idea that Dubs is clearly better. It’s like Nick Pope being out for a bit turned him into Mike Hooper or something. At very best it’s 50/50 between them depending on which strengths you prefer.

The Prophet Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Dubravka is no where near as good as some are making out, but there's no denying having a keeper who doesn't treat the ball like a time bomb has its advantages.

Agreed. But after we used it to great success in some of Dubravka's games earlier on, I think Man U was one that really stood out. I don't think we regularly used him in the build up. It was hardly like he was helping bypass the high Bournemouth press, for example. I don't think we've ever looked to play like that since Howe has been here, with him or Pope, for obvious reasons for the latter I still don't get the narrative of "he didn't deserve to be dropped!" He isn't our number one, Pope is. He was playing well, but nothin particularly amazing bar Wolves where he made two amazing saves. Had a bad game at City, Pope had just had a good game in the FA Cup and can only assume was back to full fitness. So it's hardly an outrage that our number one goalkeeper then got back into the side.

Don't think that's the case atm. I was a massive advocate for the Pope signing. But his form post injury is a concern.
