Jordan Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Shite at times today but I’d still start him over Ramsdale everytime. At least he can make a save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Maybe just a blanket rule to not pass it to him if he's under kind of pressure. Better off just punting it down the line and hoping for the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 We need a new keeper, he made 2 or 3 cracking saves, saves I think Ramsdale would have struggled with. Ball at feet however, dear me, he’s getting worse. I’m tempted to let him off with the one Hall belted back at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggies Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 His pitch and wedge goal kicks are the worst. We may as well just restart with Brighton having the ball on the halfway line. We’ve got many problems, but the goalkeeper situation is the worst by far. Nowt worse than having a dodgy keeper - it creates anxiety throughout the whole team. I reckon at least 10 points lost this season because of goalkeepers… which completely would have changed the feel of our season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Maybe I missed bits when I lost connection but apart from that dodgy touch when Hall played it back to him I thought he played well in terms of saves and cross claims. Sad to see his decline though, his 22/23 was up there as the best I've seen from a Newcastle 'keeper and it's really only this season that I think the decline has been really noticeable. Saying that, I'd still have him over Ramsdale every day of the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His game with his hands was good but he also had the one where he kicked it off Hinshelwood which fortunately hit the post Then there were half a dozen kicks which went absolutely nowhere useful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I prefer him over Ramsdale. In the same way I prefer chlamydia over ebola. If this guy is still in contention for a starting place by 1 Sep 26 then it's borderline negligence from the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 After watching him today, we are definitely getting a new number 1 no question about it. And for god sake don't let that be Ramsdale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Starting to think he's been one of the worst keepers I've seen between our sticks for a very long time - though for many years we were spoilt for having a very strong amount of strength, cover and youth in that position.

Conjo Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Easily the worst player that have played for us this season. Even discounting his howlers, the amount of pressure his ineptitude brings upon us by gifting the opposing team the ball back far outweighs his occasional "good game" when he makes one decent save the other 19 PL keepers would have made too. Ramsdale should play the remaining games this season, neither should be anywhere near the club after the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Utter liability. It’s virtually every game, he’s gifting chances to the oppo man. Beyond a joke now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I just can't understand how a professional footballer in the PREMIER LEAGUE can kick a ball like him. I mean it's simple stuff, hit it high,with power, and keep it inside the massive fucking green thing in front of you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The weird thing about today is he was very poor but equally I left the game thinking he was our best keeper. Cost us one goal, narrowly avoided disaster on another but then made two or three incredible saves that I'm not sure Ramsdale makes. No way he's #1 next season but I think he's the best of a bad bunch for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Two mistakes with his kicking which we got away with, but I thought he was great at claiming the ball and made some great saves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if your licking is poor, you’d start kicking it in a different direction. He constantly goes to kick it towards the touchline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 We lose or draw that game with Ramsdale between the sticks, Popes kicking is a joke now, invites so much unwarranted pressure on the team, you know when hes on the ball its going back to the opposition either by means of a throw in or directly on their head. Having said that he did really well on crosses and made some important reactive saves. At the very worst he needs to be number 2 next season though.

Tim Krul, Fraser Forster, Freddie Woodman all youngsters around the same time. Krul was quality for a couple of seasons. Never the same after his injury. Given is widely considered as our best keeper in modern history. So that’s fair. Harper was decent as cover but wasn’r starting quality. Forster and Woodman never did much for us or elsewhere. They better than Pope? Not fully old enough to remember Pav or Shaka. But better than Pope? I know he has his clown show moments and he has become a liability. But to call Pope one of the worst keepers you have seen for us is a wild take IMO. He looked like the best we’ve had in the Prem era his first season and a half before the shoulder injury.
