How have England not been able to produce a decent keeper since Seaman? 

Hart wasn't bad at his peak, tbf, and Pickford is probably currently the 3rd best English goalkeeper, but, you know, Southgate.

They weren't bad but there's been nobody near the world class level. Germany, Spain, Brazil, Italy have had some top keepers over the last 20 years.

It's the old ball to hand, not hand to ball. There gonna need to change the rule next season, he was like a metre away, what's he supposed to do.

Not an unnatural position either considering he was blocking a shot. Compare it to our non handball which was arm, arm to ball and not a natural position

Tbf, it hit this guy a foot lower on the arm, if the Sheffield  United player does the same action with that part of the arm there's no question

The rule is a joke-how was he supposed to get out of the way of that from a yard away?  They may as well say if it hits the hand/arm in the box in it's a penalty whether intentional or not.  At least everyone would know where they stand.

The biggest issue is that the handball rule seems to change week to week. Both non pens last GW were more obvious than that and neither were given.

That's always going to be a pen now. Feels a bit harsh because he's trying to block the shot but his arm is raised relative to his body. 

It’s still natural in relation to his action though.
