BullyDogs Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I wish hed stop punching balls that are very easily catchable ones and flapping at corners though. Sooner or later we are going to be punished big time with this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 If he came out and tried to catch the ball in them conditions 9 out 10 times that slips through his gloves and they have a goalscoring opportunity. I believe he done the right thing yesterday, but in general your right he seems to punch everything weather that's habit or a confidence thing.

Pilko Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Needs a punch in the face, might put him off punching the fucking ball all the time. Easy catch and he elects to punch. Shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Can see why keepers choose to punch the wet ball under pressure but that was just thick from Pope. Under no pressure at all and plays his own team directly into trouble. Absolutely thick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 He's having a bad game but I don't think we're quite at the stage of a goalkeeper being top priority in the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 He used to be so confident at commanding his box, he certainly looks shakier all of a sudden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Solid keeper but not top tier. Feel he may more or less have peaked here with his ability, seems to be repeating a lot of the same mistakes. Wouldn't be surprised if we look for someone who would genuinely challenge him and take the starting spot by next season.

TRon Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Wet ball or not, his decision making looks all over the place. A keeper needs to 100% believe in himself, and at the moment he doesn't give that impression. Got caught in two minds for the first one, then had an easy catch with no one challenging and bottled it.

et tu brute Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I said a few weeks ago that he is a liability now ever since the Liverpool game when it comes to crosses and balls played in behind. That punch was as easy a catch as you could get for a keeper. He flaps at just about everything played into the box now. Need to upgrade as Dubravka isn't the answer either.

Optimistic Nut Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 This version of Pope isn't an upgrade on Dubravka like. He still makes some top saves but all PL level keepers do. I'd be tempted to bring him out for a couple of games and make him earn his place again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I can't understand why he punches so often when there's plenty of opportunity to catch. Very annoying for that to be the catalyst for their equaliser today, but it's always going to invite pressure if you punch out. That being said, he's a very good goalkeeper who has more positive than negative attributes. Will be upgraded in the medium-term future I should think, but for right now, he's more than okay. Just frustrating at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 1st goal wasn’t his fault, he should have caught the ball for the 2nd but our defending from the punch wasn’t great. Biggest GK of the night was for our 1st goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
