Expand Has to be next in line after RCB and RW to be upgraded. Hard to have a possession based game if we're having to set up to get the ball back or defend a throw-in every time the ball goes back to him.

buzza Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Aye, great sweeper, great at set pieces and shot stopping, but give him a ball which is half a yard short of perfect and he is in trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I love this lad and I don’t want to change him but it does actually harm us significantly how often he just passes it out or onto the head of the opposing team. He looks absolutely terrified when the ball is played back to him and he has to control it. I can understand that but how he can’t kick a stationary ball properly is utterly mental Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Simply don’t get the Pope bashing, Pickford messed up again yesterday as did the Ipswich keeper as did the Soton keeper last week. Judge him on the goals he saves not his ability on the ball. There’s something to be said for having a keeper who doesn’t think he’s the next coming of Pirlo. I’d be pretty confident that more goals have been conceded from keeper errors than goals scored created by a keepers eye for a pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I would move Pope on simply because you can't have individuals in a group striving for success that is that frightened of something. He gives me fucking heart attacks, I'm like 'don't' when our cbs are under pressure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
