Nick Pope’s performances are giving Eddie Howe a goalkeeper dilemma
The England international has been at least partly at fault for goals in recent weeks. Should Aaron Ramsdale be given a chance?

Marseille 1-1 #NUFC
He was going to score eventually if Newcastle kewpt giving him chances.
Bakola lets #NUFC press him on halfway, sends Aubameyang in down the right, he loses Schar, Pope rushes out too early, Aubameyang flicks it away & finishes from wide on the right

Half-time: Marseille 0-1 #NUFC
A chaotic first half - brilliant entertainment, with Marseille dominating ball, #NUFC rapidly looking to counter, scoring early through Barnes, & then both sides have had chances.
Too open, perhaps, with Aubameyang getting opportunities.

TheLasses™️ a bit unlucky today; played alright, but Everton showed flashes of quality. 1-3.
Bit of a break now, then Tanya Oxtoby’s first game proper when Southampton come to GIS in December.
