Nick Pope

[gbandit]

Been such a solid keeper for us. Think he’s second after Given for me in love for him as a keeper at NUFC 

[John P]

Been very good this season. Reckon the competition from Ramsdale could be helping him

[Ronson333]

Just imagine if Pope played 25 years ago when using your feet wasn’t so important for a keeper…Would have been close to world class.

[nemtizz]

Give me a Nick Pope over a keeper that stands over the ball like a sex pervert but can't pull out those saves or command his box.

In other words. Claudio Bravo. Worked out well for Pep that experiment  

[Danh1]

Back to his 2022 form. Been quality this season so far, long may it continue. 

[andycap]

When he's focused and confident he's one of the best in the world. 

[Andy84]

He’s been excellent for a while now, limitations always there in other areas but he’s a top class at the basics 

[janpawel]

Will never forget the hate he was getting and the over the top love Dubravka was getting before the cup final 

 

Not on here, but friends, family, social media etc, he's a fantastic shot stopper. As if Eddie doesn't know his number 1

At least 3 people on here were calling for Ramsdale to start against Wolves  There's no curing these inbreds

Reckon he’s finally confident in his shoulder holding out.

Seen people saying that selling Dubravka to Burnley was a huge mistake in the summer on Twitter (I know, I know). Mentalists. 

[Ronson333]

4 clean sheets out of 5 in the league.

[TRon]

First time I really felt his distribution really affected us negatively this season.Bournemouth's press made it more difficult for him to find players with the short passes and throws. 

[Jordan]

Feels like Ramsdale has really made him step up so far.

[nufc4eva]

He so slow at getting us moving again as well. Needs to throw it out quicker but by time he moves it the other team regain their shape. His long kicks are atrocious, just straight or out of play

Aye, he's been brilliant at the normal goalkeeper stuff, but I was really getting frustrated when he was taking ages after gathering the ball and then the defenders near him were getting closed down by the time he thought of releasing it. 

[nufc4eva]

Aye no doubt he's been great for us shot stopping, sweeping up but that side of his game really hurts our play. When Dubravka was in nets it was noticeable in how we played out.

[Crimson Cardigan]

I dunno on first view I got the sense he held on because there was nothing much on (he was looking) and all our players were heavily marked.

[Kid Icarus]

I love him tbh. I think he's absolutely class and a really reassuring presence. I'd even say his major weakness is a bit overblown these days.

[Barnes23]

He's in excellent form and has been since the tail end of last season. Would be crazy to drop him for Ramsdale purely due to weaker distribution (which is partially mitigated by the way we play in any case, IMO)

Aye.  We’ve got wingers that can’t beat a man or pass and move. A CMs that struggle to pass the ball forward. But it’s Pope’s passing that is a big problem. Aye.

Brilliant save at the death with the free-kick - looked a little clumsy but he got everything behind it and shovelled it away from danger. Bounced directly in front of him too which made a good save even better. He just needs to keep it simple and make good decisions. If he can bowl it out then do so, short kicks into defenders who have the time is fine too - if he absolutely needs to smash it long and out for a throw then do it and then we can try and pen them in as a result of his hoof. Just clear, risk-averse decisions and stop most shots on target and we're golden

[LFEE]

The fact out new KO routine involves us kicking the ball out for a throw in to press surely makes a mockery for the need for him to keep the ball in play when kicking long

Hardly conducive to becoming better in possession though. Other than the save in the first 10 seconds v Wolves, I can't remember a save where I've thought he's saved a certain goal.
