Bit hostile, but I agree. The disparity is pretty obvious. Sels aside (who was shit) I think we’ve given keepers an easy ride over the past decade, and understandably so under the circumstances. Dubravka is a decent keeper who was never going to be good enough to see us to the next level. Edited September 5, 2022 by Ronaldo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok ok, I’ll admit I barely watched any of Burnley’s relegation season matches aside from the ones where we played them. But I’m sure you were glued to the screen every time they played. I def got this wrong though. I didn’t think Pope was quite the massive upgrade he has turned out to be. Edited September 5, 2022 by LV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Out of all the keepers Pope has 2nd highest % of goal kicks over 40 yards (83%) and 2nd highest average length (63 yards). Southampton is highest in both stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickford had a great game yesterday, made loads of saves but he's equally as likely just to throw the ball in the back of his own net. Better in possession with his range of passing. Genuinely think Pope is better at everything else. Even other strengths of Pickford like coming off his line to sweep up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) The Dubs thing was funny. He was a good shot stopper. But he was glued to his line and never sweeped up. And became weak at coming for crosses over time. The room for improvement was massive and Pope is that difference. Also in Pickford's (and to a lesser degree Ramsdale) defence - GK's that are actually good at kicking or on the ball in general is a rarity. All things considered - Pope should be second choice for England at worst. I think his calm temperant and style of play is better for England in a tournament than Pickford who comes across v. emotional.

I listen to Callum’s podcast with Michail Antonio and they did a combined 5 between the two teams and Michail refused to believe Pope is better than Fabianski.

I would have been delighted with three top class signings this summer before the window, and if you include him with Botman and Isak, then that's what we got. Fabulous signing, I bet Man U and a few other clubs will be asking questions why this one slipped under their radar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
