Shay Given on motd2
« on: March 25, 2012, 10:05:29 PM »
Not sure I would fancy being on national television the day after being on the receiving end of a 3 goal drubbing. Top keeper though and not his fault.

I liked the bit of ribbing he got from Dixon and Shearer over two of the goals. It were realistic like.

I thought he was shite for at least 2 goals
Weak off his line
Weak at commanding his area and the 2 CH's

Great shot stopper - but they all are at that level

He most certainly should have saved the first goal

Not his fault ?

The first goal was most definitely his fault

He should have saved the shot, but Gibbs being allowed to waltz through our defence and midfield perhaps wasn't.

I think he's suffering from lack of confidence - like quite a few of the players. McLeish simply drains any confidence out of the team with his damage limitation tactics - this surely must give the players an inferiority complex. If your manager doesn't believe in you, what chance have you got? MCLEISH OUT!!

Agree with what you are saying, but as the last line of defence, he should have saved the shot.

Sorry should have been clearer in my first post, he could definitely have done better particularly on the first goal.

When I said not his fault, I meant not his fault that he plays for a poorly managed team that has managed to put together a butter icing defence that makes almost every other team's attacks look like a sharpened knife.

Interesting to hear him say that AMc is a "great manager". We'll let time be the judge of that one shall we ?

I wouldn't say that my boss was shit at his job on national TV. No matter how shit I thought he was.

Did the first goal take a nick off Hutton? Given seemed to think so.

Can't say he sounded too convincing there.

I would, if, like footballers you basically cannot be sacked.
