He's a bottom of table goal keeper at best and costs us alot of points. Some of comments in here are laughable mind, he's a country mile behind the top keepers Laughable indeed.

Lush Vlad Posted Sunday at 00:27 Share Posted Sunday at 00:27 I’m an unashamed Pope fan boy. Personally think a keeper as good as him will be disappointed with that. I think he should have saved it. However. It is poor defending and I don’t automatically assume getting beat at your near post is always keeper error. I feel him for a bit. As he was quality otherwise…… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been to blame for 4 goals this season at least and constantly puts the team under pressure with his abysmal kicking? Look at west ham other night twice he kicks it sideways to give west ham throw in when he's barely under pressure. Why do you think he's England's 4th choice keeper? Any fan who thinks he's good enough is absolutely kidding themselves. If we are aiming for a Europe you can't have him in goal simple as that.

Lush Vlad Posted Sunday at 12:00 Share Posted Sunday at 12:00 What about when we finished 4th and he was in goal I think like most of our players, he has been below his best this season. I also think if we want to fully evolve as a team. He will need to be upgraded in time. But I do still think whilst it will be simple enough to get a keeper better with their feet. I don’t think it will be cheap to get one that matches or beats him as a ‘keeper’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it will be cheap to get one that matches or beats him as a ‘keeper’. Each to their own but I think his "keeper" side is overrated, he wants to punch everything, he often gets beaten softly and I'm there's being good with your feet or simply not able to kick a ball which is pope. He made a lot of mistakes prior to joing us also btw, 2 at St James and 2 at turf moor against Newcastle that I can remember Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted Sunday at 12:59 Share Posted Sunday at 12:59 (edited) Did I imagine us finishing 4th with him in goal or…. Keepers make mistakes. It isn’t anything new. He is making a few more than you’d expect this season. But I still think he brings a lot of positives to this team, personally. Even though like all of our squad. He seems below his best. Which is a concern, but another discussion entirely. Edited Sunday at 13:01 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both problems imo, Pope should of saved that yesterday and like I've mentioned has already been to blame for a few goals. I'm not denying creating isn't an issue but Pope is going backwards imo.

If isak misses 4 shots this season do you give him as hard a time and Pope has had a lot more to do this season than most on our team I reckon.

TheBrownBottle Posted Sunday at 23:21 Share Posted Sunday at 23:21 (edited) I remember Peter Schmeichel saying that goalkeepers are defined by their mistakes - and tbh I don't think Pope makes all that many. There's better out there, certainly, but he isn't our biggest worry atm. I actually think his newly-developed habit post-injury of meekly pushing the ball out from strikes on goal instead of directing them away from goal is a bigger worry than his consistently average kicking.
