Didn’t read or hear of any quotes attributed to the England manager re Jack Butland’s performance.

Was anything said?
 
Southgate at least did him the honour of coming to see him live

Did he do enough on Sunday to warrant a call up ?
It’s 50/50 for me
 
I still can't work out what he's doing for the first goal. Almost sits down in slow motion

He’s caught completely off balance by the ricochet, probably because he was readying himself for a back pass.

He is absolutely faultless there.

Third goal he might have done better, but it was a well hit shot close to his body and he was slightly unsighted.

He filled his goal well for Maeda’s shot from the angle and produced a world class save from O’Riley’s header.

He also dealt well with getting pressed quickly after receiving a few hospital ball pass backs.
 
He's probably a bit unsighted with the 3rd due to it going through Sterling's legs, but he could have done better

I reckon Southgate will have a better idea of how the conditions impacted the game and the things he's looking for from his keeper than we all do as well.
 
Tough one.

Strange game, wind howling at 50mph.

1st goal was a freak.

Some great saves.

3rd was unlucky.

Probably needs a second look again, maybe hearts semi or the next OF game to finally judge him.

Hard for Southgate, he has a few keepers in England to pick but outwith Pickford he's struggling.

Pickford 1st choice
James Trafford up and coming
Matt Turner is okay (at best)
Jason Steel again okay
Nick Pope would be 2nd choice if playing
Aaron Ramsdale is MIA for Arsenal.

He could do worse than take Butland as he's palyong more regular than the rest in the bunch above, played in Europe and doing well for a top club.
 
He’s absolutely thinking about picking him, aside from him being up on Sunday his goalkeeping coach has also been up a couple of other times to watch Butland.

Matt Turner has 39 caps for USA, so we can probably rule him out. Anyone slating Butlands mistakes has to remember his first choice did this in the last international;


 
First goal probably didn't expect to happen. Kept us in the game first half. Third didn't see till late.
 
Certainly not the game he would’ve wanted Southgate to watch.

Made one very good save but the rest were expected. Possibly could’ve done better positionally for the first goal and the third he saves every week.
