The fact that we’re four and a half years into the takeover and these are goalkeeping options is incredible.
Pope had been abysmal though.

Feels realistic to me
He needed to buck up months ago. Club has left it too late to save the league season.
Can’t see us getting relegated though.
Fair enough, if you think he can turn it around given that extra time.
If you just think he deserves the chance to try, I disagree. Club comes before any individual, regardless of what they’ve achieved in the past.
100% and he’ll be a legend regardless of when he goes.
What’s the cut off for that being enough?
If he was getting anywhere near the best out of the squad I would agree. He isn’t and all this strategy will do is waste two seasons instead of one.
This is all true but it’s also not the main problem. We’ve had spells this season with near enough a fist choice team, and less intense schedules, and we were still awful in the league.
Depends on what sort of World Cup he has. Despite his struggles he’s still likely to be Germany’s starting striker.
Some hit as well
Has anyone checked what Mike Hooper is up to?
It wasn’t hard to imagine in November / December though. It had already gone wrong and it as obvious Eddie wasn’t going to be able turn it around.
Club sat on its hands and then didn’t support him in the transfer market either.
We’ll basically be starting again next season.
He ran out of ideas in December.
We left it too late and wasted a season
He’s a modern day Hugo Viana… technique for days but not suited to the team or league.
I don’t see how he can start in anything other than a 442 where he played slightly deeper than someone with pace.
The one thing I’m sure of is that the manager of the team is not, even a tiny bit, responsible.
It’s genuinely too late now.
He should have gone in December when it was clear that he couldn’t tune it around.
For some, he could put in another 3 seasons of this and still be backed
For some, it’s clearly unlimited.
Why are they a ‘brigade’ rather than just fans who might have a different opinion to you.
Nooooooo
That doesn’t sound like nick pope
Nothing out of the ordinary in the league
All 4 are Lee Charnley in increasingly elaborate disguises
I’m not sure I’ve seen him at all but there’s no better opportunity to test him.
Based on him being on the bench for weeks I’m assuming he’s not miles off it.
For me, Shahar needs to start.
Trippier needs the rest and if you’re not going to play a youngster when you’re 5 nil up against a vastly inferior team when are you.
That said, I’m still haunted by partizan…
Was it the handball shout? Literally barely mentioned on the tv and no replay
Don disagree but he’s not the only one. The midfield really struggling to compete. Joelinton on now if we have any chance.
It doesn’t need to. It should just be a foul.
Surprised they didn’t try and take it off us for offside
Midfield were non existent. Pope was abysmal.
Are we qarabag
Pathetic to be honest
