Goalies

Pope for me, but Dubs is a quality backup. Does any other team have two keepers as good as ours?

There isn't much between them but I suppose Pope just edges it. Although Burnley were relegated I would say Pope played behind a slightly better defence pre Eddie Howe's coming and the immense improvement in our defence second half season.

It says a lot for both keepers to have to over perform match in match out for seasons behind shaky defences.

I think Pope has a similar clean sheet record to Alisson and Ederson over the last two seasons

But Dubravka has made more mistakes over the last season and Pope has been fantastic.
