Ranking our Squad - 22 Pope

[gbandit]

Pope = D for me 

[La Parka]

C - he's really been affected by his injuries and has regressed. Still think he'd start for anyone top 8 down. 

 

 

[Dandy Man]

C - not sure how a team consisting entirely of Nick Popes would do though. Bit of a recency bias to overcome but he's still a bit better than a D surely?

Was a B now a C, still prefer him over Dubs

[Shearergol]

C- or D+ for me. A new keeper will absolutely tranform us, I'm certain of it.

[Kimbo]

I’m giving him a C but only because premier league keepers are generally pretty poor. Injuries seem to have destroyed him.

[Kid Icarus]

Was a B until his injury. Probably a C or D now depending on where he wants to play. Will give him a C

[Lush Vlad]

He was a solid B for his first season and a half here.  But he hasn't looked the same since the shoulder injury.  Without checking, I feel like he's made more mistakes that have led to goals in his 20 games or so of this season, than he did for all of his games prior.

 

I think he's a C.  Sadly seems like he is going the wrong way.  But still time to turn his season round and hopefully regain something like his old form.

Low C for me, prior to that red against Liverpool 2 years he was a B+. Injuries have clearly affected him and his obvious poor footwork now looks as bad as ever. 

 

We absolutely need a new keeper this summer

[Abacus]

Think I agree that he's a C now, but was a B pre injury. It's easy to forget what an upgrade he was when he first came in and replaced Dubravka. Now he's solid, to the point where there's genuine and reasonable debate between the two of them. 

[Andy]

Honestly he's probably a C, but I'm voting D because him having the ball at his feet might actually kill me early 

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Tough one this. Hard to accept his rather rapid decline. Part of me wants to think it's confidence and just poor form and will improve, part of me thinks there's no coming back. 

 

Will go C for now and mark down as required as I think it's fairest.

Imo, West Ham - though imperfect - gave a hint that he'd end the season having made a mockery of the whole debate. Dubravka looked all day the better option a fortnight ago so if Pope plays a blinder from here on out it would truly be as as it gets.

Didn't have to make any saves though.

 

 

He swept up and commanded his area well. But before he was a great shot stopper. One of the best in the league. That part of his game is under question and without it.. he's neck and neck with Dubs.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Bang on C I think.
