⚫ Another costly mistake away from Pope 😩
⚪ Growing number of #NUFC fans want Ramsdale 📢
⚫ Nuclear option would be to change GK 🤯
⚪ Ramsdale signed as a No 2, not No 1, after Trafford near-miss 🧤
⚫ But errors can't continue ❌

⚖️ Is it time for Howe to drop Nick Pope?

The England international has been at least partly at fault for goals in recent weeks. Should Aaron Ramsdale be given a chance?

⚫ Will he rotate in Marseille, or stick w/ tried & tested? 🤔

🇧🇷 Joelinton is still critical to #NUFC's aggressive best - but evolution must start next year:

Modern football is a squad game - when will Eddie Howe use more of his regularly?
