Jordan Cronin isn't sure he agrees with the return of Nick Pope over Martin Dubravka, but is sure he can produce for Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.

00:00Do you agree with it? Do you not?
00:02No, I've always stood by Morten. The Bravka, I don't think he's done a lot wrong, but I just think it's a clear preference for me that Eddie Howe prefers Nick Pope, and I don't think that's a secret.
00:12I think Eddie Howe can say in press conferences that, you know, we don't have a number one goalkeeper, the position's up for grabs.
00:18In the hour of the first opportunity, when he thinks Nick Pope is ready, he puts him straight back in.
00:23Look, Eddie Howe might be playing a massive game of poker, and he might put the Bravka in against Liverpool, but I just think today, I think that was the nod for me to see that Nick Pope will be playing.
00:36Look, I don't necessarily agree with the decision, but I think Nick Pope on his day is a better goalkeeper.
00:43But we haven't seen that Nick Pope that we had from last season, before he got injured in the season before.
00:50I think he's, look, the player, certainly with the ball at his feet, he's never inspired confidence with the ball at his feet, but I think he looks extra nervy.
00:57It just seems a very, sort of, fear when he's on the ball, and I think you can feel that.
01:02And I think he looked nervy tonight on the ball, but his distribution in terms of throwing out's better.
