andycap Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Popey has arguably been our best player this season, one mistake should not mean he changes his game at all. You heed the balls 😂. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked to me like hhe fell and lost his mind for a second and pulled it in. If he pulls it in it's international Sherley? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guybrush Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Not a good move like. It almost looked instinctive, like he forgot he wasn't in the box. A silly, silly mistake but he's still the best keeper we've had in a long time. Â Sorry if I've missed this, but who is likely for the final? I assume Karius?

Guest reefatoon Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Was just one of those instinctive things where your limbs work before the brain does. Gutted for him but it was a red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Longstaff is slightly past Pope if not beyond him, so wouldn’t he be last man and the red is only for last man? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly a goalscoring opportunity because Salah has pretty much an open goal and even if Longstaff got back he can't use his hands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think he deliberately handled the ball to prevent a scoring opportunity but he did intentionally grab the ball when he fell on it. Still a red of course. Maybe I'm arguing semantics here and wasting everyone's time.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
