Pope is fine, and has been fine though, he has also contributed to 3 of the best seasons in our memories, and is an excellent sweeper and shot stopper. Ideally we'd upgrade him, as his kicking is an issue but this re-write of history that he's utter shite, is just wrong, and we'll be fine if we don't get another keeper in. 

It's not just a 'bit of an issue' though is it? It effects our possession in our own third to an almost comical degree.

Basically everyone else on here has as well like, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make other than that you have a perceived notion that your opinion matters more than anyone else's. 


Sewpa fan, is Hawk :lol: 

 

“Yeah. Well I’ve seen every game in person or on the TV for the last 9 years. What have you ever done?!”

Wasn’t there a high profile case in Rugby Union where a player hid a razor blade and cut himself to make it look like he was injured?

 

Something like that. There was a fake blood incident in a Harlequins game once (might be what you're referring to), utterly bizarre.

Very close to scoring a beautiful header and put himself about a bit/caused problems. 

Couldn't believe that went wide, as soon as he dipped to head it I gave it the "what a fucking goal that is" 🤦

Did we play the usual 4-3-3 formation?

Yes in the first half, Willock was the most advanced in the press with Bruno and Tonali sitting so it looked more 4-2-3-1 until we were back in shape.

 

Second half was 5-2-3/3-4-3/5-4-1 depending on what you call it for the first 25 until Botman went off, then I think it was supposed to be the same but got very chaotic after Ashby came on, Tino was nominal RB/RCB in a 3 but was popping up all over while Ashby stayed in a RWB position

Seen the "highlights" 

 

Never a penalty in a month of Sundays. 

 

Hey ho

Dont think it was a free kick that lead to their second either. Not too bothered about the result, the performance was ok.

I'm very happy I didn't shell out the 200sgd they were asking for this. @LRD did ya stump up?

 

Considered to earlier this week but kept to my initial thoughts that no point paying good money for a glorified friendly. I mean, have they played in this heat and humidity before? :lol:

 

Took photos with the Cup and looked at some expensive merch. Watched the second half online and tbf it was a decent game.

Exactly that, there's loads of times where he to basically pass it out sideways into touch as he hasn't got composure to take extra touch etc. 

 

I really don't get how fans complain about us not progressing this summer but then say it's ok Pope is more than good enough if we don't bring anyone in.

 

I just think you have to look at the modern game and accept having a keeper with top feet is a must.
