Is Pope definitely out then does anyone know? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted November 29, 2025 Share Posted November 29, 2025 If Pope is out, and its due to 'injury', then it almost reinforces what the Geordie Journos said on their YT video. That with certain players, EH won't make the hard decision and drop them, regardless of form or errors, unless forced to (Injury/suspension). An injury to Pope would be rather convenient, given the noise around giving Ramsdale a chance, and publicly at least, makes it appear that EH hasn't just dropped him (Pope). If Ramsdale is in today, its up to him to take the chance, and make the position his own and for Pope to fight to get back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ramsdale dropped a rick today and was replaced straight away I'd be fucking foaming like given Pope's form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just no sign of us evolving. If Everton have any sense, block the lines to the full-backs and the midfield, make us play long or force to play out through Burn, we'll not really trouble them.

Mole Posted November 29, 2025 Share Posted November 29, 2025 Tbh with you I genuinely don't care about 4th defender, Burn, Botman and Schar are all class in different ways ( I personally don't get the recent Botman criticism) Whoever the choice, we're good there. The concern I have as is the case almost every week, the midfield and the wide players. Barnes and Murphy looked good against City so I hope they are picked and they keep it up.

Burn isn’t much of an issue on the ball at CB. Especially if he has Thiaw one side, Hall the other and Ramsdale behind him. His sloppy play on the ball and inability to play well at LB consistently seems to be clouding people’s judgement. He has been mostly brilliant for us at centre back.

nufc4eva Posted November 29, 2025 Share Posted November 29, 2025 If it's another dog shit performance away will probably switch off at half time, starting to get far too angry with it all again and it is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted November 29, 2025 Share Posted November 29, 2025 Glad to see Miley in there. Hopefully helps us keep the ball, along with Ramsdale. Hopefully some signs of life from Elanga. Ramsey can't buy a start though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
