Pope Stats

Decent

 

He’s WAY better than I thought!! Some big saves as well. Genuinely thought he needed replacing.

 

Errors leading to goal 0 lol..obviously not directly but the brainfart v Arsenal cost us.

Been good apart from that like.

 

Playing well. No need to replace him. He has the odd clanger in him and his distribution isn’t great but we have two great ball playing CB now.

 

Great lad and his shop stopping has always been top notch. Amazing reflexes.

But his big issues are:

1. The ridiculous brain farts when he comes rushing out of the box (sometimes in an attempt to head the ball)
2. His kicking can be terrible. Especially when under pressure, he just lacks composure.

I admit his kicking has mostly looked better so far this season, so maybe he's been working on that. But it still gives me jitters every time one of our lot passes back to him.

 

Add in the Union clean sheets, so 6 clean sheets out of 9 this season.

Although the defence does rather help, unlike the days of Given where he has to pull off endless saves cos the **** defence didn't do anything.

 

This entirely - good lad, good shot stopped, terrible at playing the ball out further than the first CB next to him and prone to a gaff at some point - although if I remember he had a SHOCKER during preseason against Celtic so maybe he has got it out his system early for this season?

 

Thought I’d post some actual facts as opposed to the misinformation currently being posted.

Formerly known as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost. He was elected Pope in May 2025 and is now known as Pope Leo XIV. He is the first pope from the United States. A 69-year-old from Chicago and is known as a leader with global experience.

Wow, the actual ignorance levels on this Forum are unbelievable. I blame teachers.

 

As this is a subject close to my heart, I can also tell you that the strong favourite for the papal position in May was an Italian called Leon Siccola. He made it known that whilst he was honoured to be considered he didn't want to be known as Pope Siccola.

 

But he could have been Deity Pope Siccola.
