Pope can play like a world beater as much as he likes so that people defend him on here, but if he then proceeds to make an error every other game it's not gonna cut it. SHITE.
I'll say it again. Mitov must be asking what has to happen in order for him to get a game. I would be having serious words with the manager. It's not fair on him.
And the thing is, people who aren't nuanced in the game won't think of this, but his erratic nature means we pull everyone back for corners and set pieces and hack the ball clear in a panicky way. Therefore we have no outlet to alleviate the pressure on our already under confident keeper, exasperating the situation

Maybe because the boss knows what'll happen to him if he makes a mistake... Pigott / Pope wont be the first to have a career ruined by the forum experts
Pope is not rubbish but his weakness is the powerful shot along the ground, you might think that the coach would have rectified it and a defender would be ready to kick away any rebound
We need a new number one goalkeeper. Henderson is brilliant but can't be relied on to stay fit and Nick Pope is just a disaster waiting to happen every game.
What does surprise me is even though Pope spills just about every shot that is hit into his body, the defence never seems to be expecting that second ball. It's insane, you'd think one of Bauer or Diarra would be racing to pick up that likely rebound
First game I've seen since hull... We've really gotten bad. No one wants to make a run to the penalty spot.. The feeling the defence are bottling tackles a bit.. Not good

Largely those people who have had their careers "ruined" by forum experts have ended up at much lower league clubs. It doesn't take a genius to identify when someone is way out of their depth.
Who was that who made the useful interception on the edge of our area? Hard to see numbers, and commentators spent too long drooling over McCormack to say.

If he can't cut those out of his game he isn't going to make it as a keeper at this level.
Need Henderson back ASAP.
Looking good up to then but all undone by another keeper mistake.
job done, beat our entire team by finding a hole in the most important player on the pitch.

And we haven't had a testing shot on target for Fulham, nor have they to us but that freekick was a test enough for Pope apparently
