I have no issues with the sweeper keeper thing. It is a big part of how we play and it has worked more than it hasn’t. When it doesn’t. Well…… it’s spectacularly bad :lol: 

 

You could see 10-20 yards away he wasn’t getting there. I know it’s high risk/high reward. But that was painful. Like watching a car crash in slow motion. 
 

 

 

Yeah, I don't mind it as well but tonight's mistake was utterly awful.

He's been great for us in the main, love him for his part in winning the cup, but I don't want to see him in a starting line up any time soon. Give Ramsdale a long run in the side.

 

Completely turned the game on it's head, total head-loss. So frustrating.

 

 

 

He was great for 6 months, he's been good to above average since the sending-off, he's now costing us points in Europe and the league.

It would be nice to see Ramsdale give it a go though for the next run of games at this point.

 

Oh aye I'm all for that. Was just thinking more long term.

I absolutely love Pope and the player he’s been for us but I can’t handle his kicking. That’s a way bigger issue for me than anything else. It brings huge unnecessary pressure on us every game multiple times


I think Ramsdale will be in at some point and we’ll move Pope on at the end of the season and go for a new number 1.

Stick him on the bench until Easter minimum, he's been great at times but these braindead rushes of blood are fucking killing us in big games. He's got to take at least 60% of the blame for that tonight - 20 seconds into a hugely important half of CL football that has automatic qualification riding on it and he does that

 

A strong manager benches him and let's him stew on it for a long while, he's got to better than that, shocking mental mistake that completely swung the pendulum their way immediately. Horrific keeping and needs a reaction from Howe tbh, it was that bad

Spending BIG on a GK in the summer is a must. Ramsdale is probably better than Pope at this point but I doubt it's the improvement that could take us to the next level. 

 

This.

If we want to be the club we all think we can be, our #1 GK can the the least worst out of tweedle dee and tweedle dum. 

Get a bonafide #1 who will suit our style of play (whatever the fuck is even is?!) and let these two chumps fight it out for the backup spot.

I can no longer defend. Cost us the game tonight. Nice lad, half decent keeper, zero confidence and some degree of head loss. Dropping him would be for him and for the right message to the squad.

Totally agree with this and I'm a huge Nick Pope fan. I couldn't believe what I was seeing for the Marseille first goal. What on earth was he thinking? AND this type of mistake is happening more often. These mistakes will impact on our defenders. Just look at Thiaw screaming at him whilst he was dealing with Aubameyang.

Marseille keeper for sale ? Mixture of competence and gamesmanship- nowtvwrang with his heed 

Hmm not sure, looked like he could be a bit of a heedcase - well beaten for the Thiaw header and was stood 5 metres off his line for long throws. He’d be toast in the PL.

Agree. An ok goalkeeper at best.
