Did ok yes. Something just didn’t fill me with confidence though. Looks a little too... confident maybe

Oh god! Someone last week said he was scared, the lad can’t win!

Excellent again today

Very confident if that Pope is sold this lad can do the job

Totally agree. Doesn’t look out of his depth at this level.

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 5:56 pm**

A great performance done with a hugh deflection and a clearly offside goal

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 5:57 pm**

Keeps his place for me even if Pope's fit again for the next game

He looks like a snot nosed cocky kid at school, but that’s sod all to do with him playing football.

He’s not a bad keeper and has done fine for us.

Obvious troll is obvious.

More match experience and I think he’ll be good. If we weren’t in the **** this season I’d say play him for the rest of the season.

Let no one down. I was unsure about him but today he had a very good game

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 6:13 pm**

Very unlucky keeper. Don’t think he makes any more mistakes than Pope but never catches us on a clean sheet day.

I think Farrell what's his name is pretty bobbins if Pope is injured for the next game I'd give Norris a turn.

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 6:30 pm**

Thought he played well and v unlucky with deflection , didn’t put a foot wrong ,he’s an experienced international and another season maybe as an understudy he’ll be high quality

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 6:34 pm**

I think he has done ok over the last couple of games. There are worse keepers in this league. Well done to the lad.

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 6:36 pm**

he's only 24, years of development and improvement to come.
it must be very difficult to stay match-sharp as a 2nd choice GK.
For what it's worth I think he's fine.

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 6:42 pm**

He’s done ok. Unfortunately he’s let in 10 goals in his last 10 PL appearances.

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 6:42 pm**

3 appearances

Well, the team has, actually.

And isn't it 8 in the last 3?

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 7:09 pm**

I feel the club may already be auditioning BPF with a view to selling Pope next season to raise a major part of the funds to bring in new players

Which half?

Why only one half?

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 7:26 pm**

I rate him
He's had a baptism of fire, but hopefully he is level headed enough to ignore the carpet fitters and IT support workers of this world and makes a good career for himself

He played miles better than the keeper at the other end!

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 7:33 pm**

Not in anyway reason to judge him. But he doesn’t look like a professional premier league goalkeeper to me.

All the other players on the pitch on both sides look like physical, professional athletes.

Even McNeil looks older and more physical than him.

Reminds me a bit of ramsdale.

Did make a few good stops though.

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 7:33 pm**

He's shaky and makes mistakes.

Pope slotted right in, this lad looks nervous and a liability.

Great kicking though.

Pope slotted in against Benteke and Palace when we were a much better team.

He came running out like a headless chicken and got very lucky Rashford didn’t run full steam into him. I think Pope saves that deflected goal.

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 7:59 pm**

Frankly i'm astonished that our 2nd string goalkeeper isn't as good as England's No2.

You aware the team is utter sh1te? Struggling all season and slap bang into a relegation dog fight . He’s not been at fault for any of the goals and played well , I’d still prefer Pope back though

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 8:19 pm**

I think he's decent but seems a bit weak at the near post at times. Conceded a few for Northern Ireland that you'd hope he'd save.

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 8:21 pm**

He looks pretty confident and that is essential. He is developing with BM and has 2 good keepers for healthy competition. I don't think we can fault our Goalkeeping department over the past several years.

I agree with that apart from the comment about us being utter sh*te, as that comment is utter sh*te.

If posters hadn't noticed, NP hasn't looked so assured this season as he did last.
Look beyond the goalkeepers.

He came out technically 100% correctly getting a full stance and chest ,stood his ground making zero contact , then Rashford threw himself to the floor after forcing contact .

As for the deflection , you’re either fishing or having a nervous breakdown

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2021 8:33 pm**

Don’t know how anyone saw him being nervous!!! He looks similar to Pope when he came in. Made a few very good saves and I’m sure he can mature into another excellent keeper. He’s somewhere between Pope and Heaton in terms of style with less height and catching ability than Pope but a slightly more athletic style like heaton. There was a brilliant save against rashford in the first half and a good save on a one on one second half.
