Dokko Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Glad to see people are now on board the Popemobile. Dubs lost it some time ago. A liability when not injured for the last 2 seasons, it's sad but true. But I've banged that drum enough, lets hope its a few year before the same happens to Pope.

gbandit Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 He’s also amazing at keeping with his feet. And by that, I mean using his feet for saves, not his close control which we saw in the second half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a good shotstopper and reader of the game like Pope any day! Bravo says hi. Passed the ball around, but couldnt make a save with his hands.

Mountain Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Amazing player, he oozes stability and calmness. His distribution was good too, his long throws are great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's harsh to call Dubs a liability. He is a very good mid-table keeper, and I don't think people should be taken up for questioning why the club focused on getting a keeper in ahead of attacking players. It's a legitimate question imo woth discussing. That being said, while I've acknowledged that Pope is the better keeper, I did not expect the gap between the two to be this big (provided Pope maintains this level throughout the season). He's justifying the transfer more and more each passing game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 No other keeper at the club comes out to collect the ball at feet like Pope did on several occasions today. May be the game that sees Dubravka request a move. I hope not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ultimately that's what you want, but right now we can't get anyone who can do that AND do the other aspects as well as what Pope does. So we have him and play around his weakness. His quick throws are laser accurate and rapid. I think cos of that, he actually disrtibutes better than Dubravka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 If he keeps playing like this surely he has to be England number 1. Either him or Ramsdale. Southgate won't and we'll still have Maguire starting as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Said this before but a dominant keeper is such an underrated role in football. Pope was excellent today and I think will turn out to be the best bit of business for us this summer - £10m is peanuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
