Now we shouldn't burden them with unrealistic expectations.

Amen to that. It is a real shame that at a time when the England outfield squad is really strong - that the long-term strength of England teams for so long - the goalkeeper is now the weak point. There are only four goalkeepers qualified for England selection that are regular Premiership starters.

Is it unrealistic to expect the outfield players to score more goals than our goalkeeper lets in?

I hope not and we will soon find out.
