Pope is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier league.  He does not need to play one two's with his defenders.

He's really not mind, regardless of his feet he still makes numerous mistakes.

Nah he’s definitely one of the best. 
 

In the league I would swap him for Allison, Martinez and Raya only. 
 

And im not sure about Martinez.

Do people forget the mistakes he makes? 

 

How anyone thinks he is better than Ederson is absolutely beyond me. Pickford and Martinez are by far better.

All keepers have dropped clangers, including the two you've listed as better.

 

I think Pope is on par at least with Pickford shot-stopping wise, he'd be England's no. 1 if he had Pickford's kicking ability.

I don’t think he’s ‘better’ than Ederson. But he’s better for us. Ederson barely has to make any saves. Distribution is much more important for City than pure shot stopping. He’s good enough for them at shot stopping but is great at the things that matter most to City. 
 

Our GK has to make a fair amount of saves.  
 

Martinez skill set is similar to Pope.  Less nervous with his feet but still pretty basic. 
 

Pickford is good at long passing. That’s it. I hated how he booted everything in the Euros final. Lad has no brains.

Didn't seem to have an issue with low down shots against Everton. Could be that he was saving to the side opposite his dodgy shoulder or the issues were just a mental block after his recovery. I imagine it would be pretty difficult to throw yourself down on a shoulder you've popped out twice. 

 

Hopefully he's back to his best now.

It's his left shoulder that is dodgy.  Again, the decent save he made was to his right.  

 

Small sample size, but it does look like he is going down awkwardly to his left.  Although perhaps he has always been weaker this side and nobody has ever flagged it.

He's absolutely no where near good enough, a said this on this forum few weeks back and people saying they'd rather have him than Martinez and Ederson Pickford etcm

 

He makes far more errors than any of those keepers.
