Incredible to pull off that save when he had nothing to do all night, when we signed i thought there was not much difference between him and Dubravka, boy i was wrong :lol:

You aren't alone there mate

So, so impressive with the concentration levels displayed at the death there. He could have taken a library book out there with him tonight, but to be alert to make that save is the sign of a top, top keeper.

Pope will forever be my hero for that save.  Had nothing to do all game but stayed alert and did a worldie of a save.

Imagine how flat tonight would've been if he'd let that in. He's been gigantic for us this season.

Imagine that goal meant we missed out on CL football. Was a HUGE save.

Been many of those throughout the season, plus penalty saves etc. A point dropped here, two points dropped there... He deserves as much credit as anyone.

It's a massive strength of his. He talks about it in the NUFC TV masterclass video with Given, how he tells himself he'll have one more big thing to do before the game is up. That was his one big thing.

I must admit, a lot of hurt (Cantona, Belgrade, Cup Finals) etc. flashed before my eyes in that moment. Thank fuck for Pope.....and Schar who also reacted superbly for the rebound.
