Wolfcastle Posted September 16, 2024 Share Posted September 16, 2024 We had people criticising him as a superfluous signing not that long back. His contribution of goals, assists, participation in goals and chances for the time he's played is fabulous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at that and they were both definitely onside but you cant take any chances with VAR, sleeves and elbows and all that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greydos Posted September 17, 2024 Share Posted September 17, 2024 Best thing about his goal against Wolves was that it started with Pope playing out with his feet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooppphhhh I was trying to explain recently that he is so good because he has the curled finish but he also has the laces thumper like this Sheffield United one. Seen him hit it like that with his left too. That one is for all the people who think he won't score goals from the right side. Anywhere on the pitch this guy is a goal threat, with his ball striking ability with either foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing so well now that the manager has to figure out how to accommodate both of them even when Isak is fit. It's a headache. We don't know what Gordon's attitude is towards playing on the right. Maybe he doesn't care and still feels he will produce results just as well. If he's not keen though I wouldn't blame him either, as he's coming off a ten goal and ten assist season on the left. Best bet if neither is up for playing on the right side full time is to have them rotate sides each half of each game perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Howe will be dictated to like that and just say aye do a half each Pope fancies half an hour up front as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you compared wingers switching sides to Pope playing upfront makes me pity you immensely. Your football intellect disgusts me. Be gone simpleton!

Holmesy Posted September 17, 2024 Share Posted September 17, 2024 He simply needs to find a way to make it work. We could have one of the most potent front threes in the league in Gordon, Isak and Barnes. I'm sure both wingers would rather play on the left, but i'm also sure Barnes would rather play on the right than be benched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted September 17, 2024 Share Posted September 17, 2024 I would look at moving away from the flat midfield and play Barnes off Isak in the #10 role with a pairing of Bruno/Joeinton/Tonali behind against the weaker teams in the league.

I think that's the main crux of the discussion really. It doesn't look like it, but he does have a decent left peg. We'd lose a lot of his cutting in potency for sure, but would he be more consistent and dangerous on the right than Murphy and Almiron?
