Pope has done it for ages. Usually around the 70+ minute mark. Teams will start noticing it if they havent already.

Most team do it. Not much the ref can do really, they can’t send the keeper off for 30 seconds.

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.

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.

With Pope too, they’re not going to send him to sidelines to be waived back on either.

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.

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.
