    Forster a couple of years ago was the best English 'keeper, but nowhere near it now.

    I think Heaton is better these days tbh. Butland and Pickford definitely are.

    I've never really got the fuss with Butland and Heaton is bang average to me..

    If Forster has fallen behind them then it's some fall from grace..

    Pickford is a good keeper but they've over hyped him as usual.
    Butland should be starting now. Think he's an exceptional keeper.
    Heaton is like forster in that he has them huge performances but doesn't always do it.

    Harts just * pish. I was delighted when pep came him and straightaway called out hart and every * part of the English media that had been hyping the * up for years. Actually annoys me he still starts ahead of any of the other 4.

    Really?

    I think Butland is a cracking goalkeeper. He's been unlucky with injuries but he was in incredible form before doing his knee for England.

    Heaton has some outstanding performances in him. Admittedly I didn't see the game, but I'm sure he had a worldie at Old Trafford last season and won Burnley a point.

    Forster, on his game, is probably the best English goalie but by all accounts he's been really poor for a while. He's always been very slow but looks slower than ever.

    Pickford only looked good as he was playing for Sunderland. Playing for a team that's always under pressure and plenty shots on goal mistakes are overlooked. Make 4 or 5 good saves and everyone forgets the big mistakes when you've lost the game by a couple of goals.

    Forster doesn't look as if he's up for it just now. He looks a bit disinterested.

    I think this is a problem with English football in general. Getting crazy money to play 38 games a season and you only need to win enough to stay above 14th. It’s understandable tbh.

    Aye maybe I'm being harsh but I watched Butland at the under 21 Euro's that Sweden won a few year back and he wast atrocious. A total bombscare at that level..

    I remember some pal's if mine raving about Forster at the Emirates one game. Said it was one of the best single goalie performances they'd seen. That was last year or before where he was beasting Sanchez and co. That's the thing with him unlike the other's. He's done that so many time's..

    I remember seeing highlights of that game. Forster was at his best.

    Hope he gets back to that sort of form. His performances against Barca were world class.

    This season has been * so far. So many poor games and not much to get excited about.

    Southampton have been terrible this season and they are still in the top half.

    It must be hard to motivate yourself when you're earning £40k per week and mid-table mediocrity is perfectly acceptable.

    Viewing figures for the Premier League are slumping even more. There too much * and people are turning off.

    Maybe it's the injury he came back from interfering with his game

    Dropped.

    He had a decent couple of years, but bombscare for me, Ghord all day long for me.

    My Southampton supporting mate said he's been terrible for about 2 seasons now.
