I’ve not seen it back yet, but was he blocked? Looked like he was too busy trying to pretend to be fouled. 

He was weak as piss imo, just stood in no man’s land after the little tussle

He was clearly blocked. Botman doing a crap job moving VdV out the way. Pope not being smart enough to make room

for himself. 
 

I’m just not sure he was ever getting to that cross and so I’m not blaming the goal on him. Barnes marking Sarr and doing a terrible job of it and then everyone standing watching the second ball get slammed home from 6 yards was more of a worry IMO.

Our GK situation is dire, I know bonafide #1 GKs don't grow on trees but it feels like we've been very complacent about the position since 2022 and we've neglected it every window.

 

As for the Pope vs Ramsdale debate? It barely matters, tweedle dee or tweedle dum

Mad that we’ve signed a canny few keepers and they’ve mainly been shite, Pope 2022/2023 aside

Slightly harsh, sounds like we really tried for at least Marmadashvilli and obviously Trafford.

I don't think he was massively at fault for the goal but at the same time he didn't cover himself in glory either.

 

That said I'm over him at this point at GK has to be a priority target this summer.

Even in a match like this he still manages to fuck up. He's abysmal 

Still better than Ramsdale

He needs to be replaced in the summer, too many mistakes and soft goals, crisp packet hands at times. It's close between him and ramsdale but suppose Pope does sweep up more.

 

Distribution less a concern last 3 games as we seem to have adjusted for shorter balls from him.

I don’t think you’ll find any fan who disagrees that we need to upgrade on him this summer and he makes too many ricks of late. Just brain farts where he seems to play well and look confident and assured. Then switches off Bramble style at the worst possible moment. 
 

The goal was odd. As the bloke was 4-5 yards away, it was poor defending and he has absolutely leathered it. But he is usually great at those where he gets a big, strong palm or even a wrist or any body part to it and it goes miles away from goal. He gets beat between his hand and body and looks so lethargic. Like a 5 a side keeper. 
 

All that said. I’m not having Ramsdale is better or no worse. Short memories there. The fucker is glued to his line and dives after the ball is past him. 
 

It does feel a bit two bald men fighting over a comb with those two, mind.
