Cantona,the legendary goalkeeping coach,has taken time out of his acting career......to claim Butland should be England no.1.

I live and work out of there, yes.Not from Chicago?
Punches when he should catch (PSG game leading to the penalty a good example).
Distribution poor.
Vulnerable on his left hand side to long range "daisy cutter" shots ( Geordies and Hammers at home last season and Euro 2016).
Not a very agile keeper ( although good on one on ones).
Definitely a position that needs strengthening for next season.

If we were fully sorted in every outfield position, this argument would have more weight but, name one keeper that doesn't make mistakes. Joe has his moments and I think no one would argue that, but tbh, there aren't many out there better than him.[/QUOTEI tend to agree but I fear that unless Joe becomes more comfortable with the ball at his feet he is unlikely to survive very long under Pep. On the evidence so far his distribution of the ball off the ground has not been great. One of course could argue that the players in front of him have not inspired confidence either and have not been coached properly in how to take up the right positions quickly enough to allow the creation of space that facilitates effective distribution from the back. In fairness to Joe I think he deserves a chance to prove himself in the new environment.
It doesn't matter, his passing is amazing.
