Bouncing on your toes at a shot that’s travelling is not good.  It’s the reason he can’t dive properly and doesn’t actually move his feet or body weight in any direction. 
 

No offence but have you played the sport or any sport?

 

It’s bad technique. The goal looks weird because he’s made a mistake. 

As its going through a crowded goalmouth, being on your toes makes sense.

 

Yes I've played the sport regularly,  11 a side until mid twenties coupled with 5 a side from mid teens to 35. Other sports all the while and have just given up Badminton due to tennis elbow at the age of 58....does that really matter ? , we've all heard Merson et al speak about the game.

 

I'm beginning to see why you are so popular on here.

 

I still disagree its a technique thing, more a circumstance thing. No doubt  you'd have stopped it.

 

Edit... I played in a Reds V Blues game when over 40.

Being wrong footed due to a mis-hit is usually enough to throw a keeper off balance, then you add in line of sight getting blocked by two huge defenders in front of you, and it's harsh to put too much on the keeper there. 

[Ronson333]

He’s a mess

[toon25]

Plays like a keeper signed on loan from a relegated side getting absolutely botted week after week.

[Jordan]

Already being targeted on set pieces. 

[GEFAFWISP]

The new Jak Alnwick.

[nufc123]

Not looking confident.

[Dyeyzzon]

He’s got great feet and distribution for a keeper but he just doesn’t have that presence. Just feels small in the face of set pieces.

[Casey]

Looked fine to me. Maybe I'm a thick cunt, but just about every keeper is shite at handling corners these days, especially when they've got half the opposition team tryna shag them on the line.

 

Dubs conceded on the corner and when we played Man City even Donnarumma looked flappy.

He’s not being ‘targeted’. This is how a lot of teams do set pieces and yes it is a worry because he isn’t great at it. We have finally started to do it ourselves and look ten times more threatening

Not Trafford. 

 

We all know when corners come inside there is only one shagger.

Dubs is hardly the benchmark for good goalkeeping, mind.

I wouldn't argue he is, but he's not done anything to warrant some of the stick. Just my opinion. 

[Lotus]

Is what i expected.

I expected him to be more comfortable claiming crosses than he is. He isn’t the long term solution to our GK woes I’m afraid. 

[Holloway]

not exactly a presence, is he. Good with his feet so calms us down, apparently

[Lotus]

Poor for the penalty 

[Novocastrian]

Not the answer unfortunately.

[Fak]

Spend big on Svilar in the summer. 

[SUPERTOON]

Big concern going into the Derby.

[Newcastle Fan]

Thank god we only have him on loan.

 

That moment when he almost punched the ball into his own net  

[Ronaldo]

Has looked a mess on crosses for the past two games. We need a massive scouting effort on a new keeper next summer.

It will be Trafford 

[El Prontonise]

Not good enough.

James Trafford looks to be the answer, has Pope's presence and good feet.
