Lush Vlad Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 I actually thought he looked good first half. Was much more aggressive with coming off his line and the old sweeper keeper was back. Made what seemed like a top save at the time off the deflected shot. No issues with him choosing to punch, most seemed the right call. Apart from that one he punched over for no reason. Then caught the corner straight after when under loads of pressure Palmer's goal is terrible all round. Isak losing it cheaply fucking about on the ball. Schar backing off more than Danny Simpson and the others just not even attempting to engage him. I vaguely remember comments from Burn where he alluded to shots from range and he has to shut off the near post and make the opposition beat Pope by hitting it across him. Schar does nothing at all to help He doesn't close the angle, doesn't block the near post and just lets him run 30 yards and have a free hit. Worst I've seen Schar play in a long time. I am playing devil's advocate, mind. As Pope's positioning was equally shit and he still should have saved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Thought his sweeping was absolutely top notch and he claimed crosses well, one unnecessary punch aside. He's made some very big saves in most games this season too. Agree with everything @Lush Vlad says about yesterday's goal. Schär is on the wane by the looks of it, not helped by having zero competition (see Isak, A.) I won't go as far as saying "he's the least of our worries" because he's not perfect and an upgrade in that position would make a big difference. But I'm comfortable with him in nets, like. That goal wasn't the norm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Thats debatable, he's on around 3 clangers so far and we're barely 10 games in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Still our best keeper, but he doesn't seem the same GK anymore. Makes great saves, but seems shaky so much more than he used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t always just catch it with players all round you. As he proved when cleaning out Kelly (punch was shit) and when he attempted to catch it and Nkunku beat him to it. He does look a bit less confident, for sure. But teams are packing the 6 yard box and dropping it right in there most games now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 For his height and size he should be very comfortable catching balls in the air, a few nervy moments tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tross Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 His catching is awful like, nearly cost us a couple of times last night. Also noticed he directed everyone to position themselves right from a goal kick then proceeded to boot it down the centre of the pitch. Useless twat.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Noticed Bruno had a word when he came on and Pope caught the next corner. I don’t know why he’s flapping and punching so much, some of them look fairly easy catches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 why has he started puching and flapping at shots. never used to. pushed one away when he wasnt even under pressure. different keeper ever since that red at home to liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiekris Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Said this at the game last night. one of the lads by us made the good point he maybe just doesn't trust his shoulder fully after the injury. He can't protect himself fully when landing after catching the ball so he's punching instead. I always felt it was one of his best skills previously coming out and plucking the ball from the air on crosses and set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got something in his mind and that’s hard to get rid off, sometimes impossible. Defo feels his last season with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Don't want to be contrarian for the sake of it but I thought he did fine last night. They fully crowded him out at corners, tbf. Punching was probably the safest option and I thought he did it well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 His pre match drill always has him catching crosses and also involves a coach blocking him. Opposition sides seem to have decided it is a weakness, especially with corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
