Something tells me with a 'knee ligament injury' that he ain't gonna be be back in a month.

 

 

 

 

Thankfully we have a superb track record of handling knee injuries, so I'm not too concerned

Depends. Could just be a sprain or something fairly minor like with his meniscus or something?
 

FWIW, I got told it was a neck injury in training. Which hardly sounds much better….

Tbf considering our medical track record they might still be trying to work out the difference between his knee and his neck.

There's a reason Pope is no where near the England number 1  keeper,he's average at best.

He’s not been great since his shoulder injury and his kicking is appalling. Desperately need a replacement in summer.

All of you chatting like it isn't going to be Dubravka, which it absolutely is. He's been the number 2 all season when available. 

You're right but why? :mou:

Is it unreasonable for us to start Pope on Wednesday? 

 

Can only imagine Arsenal will peg us back and there'll be a load of shots conceded / their fancy set piece routines

Would have him back in against Set Piece FC. As Dubravka gets a bit lost under high balls IMO and despite everyone moaning about his punching. Pope is one of the best in the league statistically against crosses. 

 

But then it is a massive game to chuck him back in and he wasn’t having a good season before the injury. So seeing as he didn’t start today to get back into it. I can’t see him starting.

There were glimpses of last season at points today. A couple of times we got turned around and there was space to

exploit due to our lack of pace/Dubs sitting in his box. Never led to anything but I felt a creeping sense of dread.

 

I’d get Botman and Pope back in.
