Dr.Spaceman Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 In hindsight the deal to sign Pope is one of the best pieces of business we've ever done in terms of transfer value. It's up there with Cabaye, Tiote, Sissoko etc 10 mil these days is nowt and should really equate to an average squad player, not someone who's a guaranteed starter every week for a team pushing the Euro spots.

Ben Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I love a Nick Pope collecting a cross from a corner, the look on the opposition players faces as they trudge back into position is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. Same with all of our first team signings [don't forget the youth we brought in]. They've all hit the ground running, more or less. Pope I thought would be equal to Dubs, he's much better Botman i thought would develop into a rock, and he's already there Isak looked like a high risk high return gamble, but he looks ready to destroy the league. Still early days of course, but the character that Howe keeps speaking of is clear to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he'd be a marginal upgrade on Dubs, but he's already far surpassed my expectations. It's a shame the T-rex marra seems to be doing well at the moment, because I'd love to have Pope at the WC as England's No. 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 We've become even better in defence with Pope and Botman, with the added bonus of having Burn and Targett as different options. Even Lascelles looks to have stepped up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Bit of a boy, this guy. I love his use of the feet for saves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 He’s fucking class. Just has a canny knack of getting any part of his body in the way when making a save. There’s a calmness about him in everything he does, as well. That throw to set Fraser away on a counter. Who cares about his kicking when he can hoss it up there like Steve Brackley launching a javelin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Great save in the second half when he got his thigh to deflect a shot wide. Pretty sure Dubs doesn’t save it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 throws better than he kicks. and that save with his foot was amazing. ball was really flying at him, we thought it was in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Never noticed him much at Burnley but Christ this guy is some player. I like Dubs but what an upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Thought he played his best game for us today. Looked confident throughout. Couple of good saves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same one I remember, I thought he'd misjudged that throw before it hit the deck and bounced into Fraser's path. He'd judged it perfectly.

STM Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 How's this guy behind Pickford BTW? Pickford had a great game yesterday, made loads of saves but he's equally as likely just to throw the ball in the back of his own net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Can't believe how much of an upgrade he is on Dubs. Really didn't think there was that much difference when he was brought in, but he's just so sturdy, love how easily he catches a cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
