It was literally the only place he could score the rest of the goal was blocked off and it didn't even go in the corner either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Less goals than the U21 goalkeeper. We've gone seriously wrong somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 While he wasn't directly at fault, it felt the first goal was poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Pope can and has saved shots like the first goal before, but when they are saved they are saves you don't expect your keeper to save. The top tier keepers probably save it once they get a hand to it, but it's not really a rick on Pope's side that it did go in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 His positioning was off on the first, it’s well hit but he’s showing too much of the near post to O’Reilly. It’s nothing massively egregious though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 really poor for the first I think, has cost us quite a lot this season. It’s the priority signing in the summer imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The problem is that shotstopping is what he used to be excellent at and what made up for his non-ability with the ball at his feet. Maybe the goal isn't something that he "should" save, but it's one that he could save at his best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The first one was hit quite early and with a decoy runner on the outside, wasn’t an easy save. Second one was more Thiaw’s fault IMO, for getting drawn too far inside onto the wrong man. I don’t particularly love Pope nowadays but I don’t think he did that much wrong.
