Nick Pope

[madras]

Not Howe's style to drop someone like that. Saturday could break with that !

[vexred]

Still raging with this dickhead. 

[Weezertron]

Record scratch. 'Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.'

Seriously what on earth was he thinking? Staggering stupidity.

[madras]

Im sure he tried shouting at Aubameyang as a defensive tactic.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Shouting to try and put him off  fucking hell.

Bit daft but everyone is allowed one rash-dash error…

First thing that came to mind was that. I was a really nice shot TBF from a hard angle. Still, don't leave the goal empty.

[Displayname]

Making too many errors lately. Coupled with his inability to kick a ball properly it's way past time to give Ramsdale a try.

[Geordie Ahmed]

He's making too many errors game after game

 

The odd one I can tolerate but he's delivering the wrong type of consistency 

 

He has to be taken out the side now and whilst I don't think Ramsdale is overall better than Pope he has to play

[Fak]

Will we see the same nervous Pope we got after his Liverpool fuck up? Will surely be a hoot to watch coupled with his paralympic level kicking and new punching fetish...for opposition fans at least.

[Casey]

You just know he's starting on Saturday.

 

[Kanj]

Fucking raging with him. Leadership group older head player making a mistake that cost us crucially today. 

[Kid Icarus]

Ramsdale is basically Xzibit's solution to the goalkeeper making mistakes problem. 

[Smal]

it’s fair enough coming out like that if the ball is central but… this was wide and going nowhere. Really, really vexatious.

[r0cafella]

Not going to go after him, it's been abundant clear we've needed a top goalkeeper for awhile yet here we are.

Maybe, probably, but trying him out for a period of games to find out would certainly not hurt us more than keeping Pope in the side.

[Izakaya]

Pick? Nope. 

[Menace]

What's that mistake 7 so far of the season? And we're in November. Him or Ramsdale aren't the answer.

[kenlau88210]

It was frustrating obviously, but I am quite certain he will improve his decision making after tonight. He simply misjudged the ball or underestimated how good that weighted pass was. He loves rushing out and usually is spot on with it. This time he got it all wrong. After tonight, I am sure he will be more cautious and the coaching team will work on this aspect of his game. Overall he has been quite good so far this season, so I think Howe will probably still stick with him as 1st choice for now.

[andycap]

Should've clattered him once he knew he fucked up take the yellow. Aubameyang with his marouane chamack comb forward. 😂 

[Optimistic Nut]

I know it was the first friendly of the summer, but the goal v Celtic where he came tearing out only for the ball to bounce over his head for a tap-in should have been a big enough warning for us. 

 

I'm not even that arsed about his poor kicking at the moment, he's failing at the basics.

I love Popey but this is the problem with eddie some players can play poorly game after game and be afforded time to put it right. But then certain others Barnes Elanga botman osula Ramsey miley don't get that luxury. 

[andycap]

If Barnes has a couple of dry games you can bet eddie will have gordon straight back in at leftwing. 😂
