    Fair play to him. He has made plenty of great saves and he does seem way more comfortable on the ball that Pope.

    I'd say the main differences is that Pope is stronger in his handling and will catch the shots that Dubravka flaps at sometimes.

    Dubravka is proving himself a fantastic back up option, no need to buy another keeper IMO. Happy for Karius to remain 3rd choice.

    Agree.

    Always thought this. For me, he was match rusty when he first came back which too be honest shouldn't be too surprising but has improved slowly as the games have gone along.

    Yeah bossing it currently, quality option to have. He is getting on though and Pope should be taking his place on the bench when the next keeper that comes in, no more of the Karius/Gillespie type players who'll never play.

    Neither are top quality for me. Solid PL keepers, and not a priority replacement with FFP problems, but depending on aspirations we'll need better.

    The shock that Dubs is a good keeper.
    He was our number one for a long time not some unknown
