nufcjb Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Pope has done it for ages. Usually around the 70+ minute mark. Teams will start noticing it if they havent already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most team do it. Not much the ref can do really, they can’t send the keeper off for 30 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the biggest punishment they can offer is it all goes on as extra time. So while a keeper injury might get you breathing space/time to regroup/ unsettle the flow/frustrate the opposition/ allow tactical instruction to get out. It can lead to a big chunk of extra time which as we know can bite you in the arse. Edited November 4 by nufcjmc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 (edited) I think the Pope thing has alway been about letting Howe give tactical instructions rather than wasting time. That and occasionally to break the opposition’s rhythm if they are getting on top. Edited November 4 by GeordieDazzler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Just felt more like our old proper selves last two matches with the Big and Little Joe, the shithousing, the press and intensity. TBH, I just do really like that high octane football. There isn't really going to be a right sided attacker who will get a sniff when the Joe's are fit and flying.

Heron Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 (edited) Arsenal came here with the mentality that they had to out-shithouse us in essence. Whenever they do that, they fail. If they stuck to playing their football, they'd be more likely to beat us. It's all because they absolutely dropped their bait when we beat them 2-0 in Eddie's first season. We've then played them numerous times and know they'll shite themselves if we get under their skin. Edited November 4 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
