Who do you want in goal?

[Deleted Cyber]

Simple question. If we are playing a back four who would you prefer in the sticks?Rui Patricio in goal who appears to prefer a three or Nick Pope who seems fine in a four?

DW thinks everyone goes for Rui bar me. I am going for Pope. Better talking , as good a shot stopper, better box command , better distribution
Over to you. Please reply with your reasons for choosing.

Did we sign Pope and I missed it?

 

[Tredman]

Rui who has played behind a back 4 for most of his career, including while winning the Euros IIRC..

 

[Johnny75]

Rui. No competition.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I like Nick Pope, but not sure what the back 4 has to do with anything. He’s no more a sweeper keeper than Rui is.

Rui. No competition.

Having no competition is part of the problem

 

[Kenny]

Can we pick any keeper who doesn't play for us?

If not - Rui, every day of the week

 

[Trips]

Rui v Pope, I'll take Rui every day and twice on Sundays please

Do many top flight keepers have competition? A look around at the benches and its not a great showing of keepers is it

For example
Liverpool -Adrian is so shit they started to use a young kid
Man City - Actually, without looking I have no clue who 2nd choice is there anymore
Chelsea - Kepa (LOLZ)
Arsenal - Slighty better with the keeper signed from Brighton but why has he been let go when his replacement looks well dodgy
Man Utd - Exception to it with Henderson pushing De Gea
Spurs - Hart (who has been in decline for 4 years now)
WBA - Longergan (DOUBLE LOLZ)

We could have had Martinez if our fans weren't morons and preferred League One standard Ikeme.

There's no chance we sign a better keeper than Rui.

Don't look too much into it mate, tbh I just liked the pun on 'competition'

I don't have a problem with Rui generally, he's not been in great form for much of this season but that's a team-wide issue

Ryan has been fucking dreadful for Brighton for a long time and was supposedly on big money. They've done well to shift him.

 

[Wolvensam]

When did we sign Nick Pope?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

So that'll be 0% on your side so far then, Cyber.

You can say I was right any time you fancy.

 

[sycophantia]

Rui is a world class keeper who has been a bit meh recently, I'd stick with him.....anyway don't think Pope (who I like) is any better and not sure he's up for sale

Not sure the fans had any impact on whether we signed him.
Didn't he get a long term injury while he was here?.......my memory is rubbish

 

[Wolvensam]

Rui gets sold down the river by his defence sometimes too. The goal last night was not his fault, and although he could have saved the one v Palace it was Dendoncker who should have prevented it in the first place.

 

[Throbber3]

I will vote for Pope, just. Patricio is not world class . When he came here he was known to be weak on crosses so it is no surprise he is not seen as strong in that area. Pope has been very impressive whenever I have seen him.

Gone to the right club then in Arsenal.

mad to think they got rid of Martinez , a player who improved them massively but with AMN they fooked around with the fee then told the player he was a key player and then stopped using him. Odd club

Well I am not surprised the mafia mod cave back Rui!

remember you are among those who levelled Martinez performance against QPR one of the worst goalkeeping displays ever seen. I have a long memory. You all have put a lot of faith in Rui. I hope he doesn’t let you down. He is still to convince me that he does enough, talks enough or saves enough. You could argue his save last night won a point. But that’s about it recently.
