To be fair to Butland, he is absolutely shite and always has been and anyone who ever thought otherwise was engaging in flagrant self-delusion

So last season he was very good and dug us out of a hole many times. He has just dropped off a cliff this season and the amount of horror shows is next level. Feels like every game atm

It was the moment Southgate turned up to the stadium. Genuinely rattled him that he was being looked at

His drop off started last season tbf. He played a big part in you losing the league

Don't forget he also sold the cup final in the final minutes last season as well

How?

Idah scoring that goal likely lead to us prioritising betting him in the summer instead of someone actually good

He really didnt it was playing like we are at the moment - all the posession no output.

u/FatRascal_ 1d ago
Have a look at his experiences at other clubs. How he was ever presented as a star is beyond me.

u/Disastrous_Cup_3279 1d ago
He did amazing when he started that was what mattered then - what did before isn’t hugely relevant.

He was poor at the end of the last season if we're being honest. Had a really poor pre-season too, so it's not like his poor form since is a surprise.

Southgate watching him killed his career

u/Thesquire89 1d ago
I also believe this was the cause of the downfall. Would love to see a before and after from that moment of his stats

Up to March last year he was the main reason we were still in a title race, ever since he's arguably been the main one we're miles off now. It's a bit of a shame as he clearly is a talented keeper, but he's not got the mentality to handle any sort of pressure or adversity.

u/smcl2k 1d ago
Tbf, you've conceded 13 more goals than Celtic and scored 26 fewer. There are problems at both ends, but up front looks like the biggest issue.

u/DisasterouslyInept 1d ago
We're averaging more than 2 goals a game, that's fine considering where we are right now, could obviously be better, but I think it's largely fine right now. The biggest issue is that we're essentially starting with a goal deficit every game, and seem to be chasing equalisers far too frequently. Mentally it must be exhausting knowing you're never secure in a game because your keeper is due one.

The year before villa signed martinez, they were very very close to signing Butland, but there was a late change of plan because of a recent injury he got and they signed Tom Heaton instead and butland went to palace.
I can't even contemplate how different things would be for villa, they wouldn't be in the champions league quarter finals

Terrible goalkeeper stealing a wage because he's got caps for England, should be ashamed of himself. People save up for years to go and support rangers and to put in the level of performance he has recently is disgraceful. Him and dessers should be the first out the door come the summer.

I swear he WAS good though, I'm sure he was, mad the fall off though.

u/Vivid_Ice_2755 1d ago
In terms of mental strength,it's the hardest position on a football pitch. Anyway off, you re all the way off

This is what happens when you insist on your keeper playing with feet rather than focusing on making saves

As far as wages versus ability goes, Jack Butland is the worst goalkeeper we've ever had.

Very good. Making fun of a guy who has poppadoms for hands. It's a serious condition.
