Tav is our main goal threat, which is absolutely ridiculous. Butland was in incredible form earlier in the season.
Recently both have dipped from where they were.
The state we are in might simply be that we had two players contributing hugely at both ends of the pitch, rescuing us a bit, who have now come down off a purple patch into more regular form and there is nothing coming from anywhere else in the team to fill the void.
So I wondered, as I don't understand the modern stats, is this type of thing backed up in the stats? Xg and the like?
Obviously there's a lack of effort etc as well and maybe some tiredness but these two seem to have dropped their output whereas most others are still producing what they were all season.
Edit: This is absolutely not a dig at either player. The opposite if anything.
