Nick Pope

[Abacus]

For crying out loud another one of those freak injuries.

 

Mel Gibson seemed to get over it pretty quickly in all the Lethal Weapon films, mind.

 

Anyway, so disappointed for him.

Hope it’s not a season ender. 
 

 

Dubs will have to try and play like Pope. He needs to aggressively sweep up and claim crosses more.

It's terrible luck for Nick, but also a chance for Dubs to rise to the occasion, like Lascelles has done.

 

His early form for us was great, and I'd back him to recapture that. It's an exciting time to play in this side.

I’m hoping for this too!

Fearing the worst for this. Some keepers never fully recover from shoulder injuries.

According to his cousin. He thinks it is the same one he dislocated before.

I'm sure Dubravka will have learned a lot from Pope, being in training with him with regularity.

I have little worries with Dubs.

It's obviously never ideal when anything like this happens but this shows the strength we do have in terms of players busting their guts to stay relevant.

I'm no expert and a professional pessimistic, so naturally I'm going to assume this is a season ender. 

[dave s]

feel sorry for him, and obviously us. a goalkeeper dislocating a shoulder ain’t the injury you want to see  

[Conjo]

Too many shoulder bumps with Murphy in training.

[MrRaspberryJam]

4-5 month. Apparently.

Bit odd to single out the Liverpool game out of every game in the next 5 months?

[KDT]

Wonder if this brings forward the new GK hunt into this January.

Liverpool matter. Nothing else does.

[The Butcher]

So pretty much out for the season.

 

Sound.

[Dokko]

Go buy Dennis Seimen like I do on every FM. That'll work.

[SUPERTOON]

Short term move for De Gea ? Didn’t we supposedly try get Lloris in the summer ?

Yup. Even if he is medically cleared before the season ends, he won't be fit to start any of the remaining matches anyway.

He got sent off there last season, so no worries.

[TBG]

Would be back in time for the Champs League final but it would be harsh to drop Karius

Dubravka will be more then fine like, we also have Karius as backup, we don't need to be getting a keeper on a short term deal.

[Wilson]

That's a Sickener. 

 

I like Dubs but the way we play, he really can't stick to the line as much as he used to.  Hopefully he's had plenty practice claiming crosses lately.
