I don't know the statistics but given the paucity of goals scored I'm certain he saved us enough points that had a lesser keeper been in the sticks we'd be looking forward to Burnley away on Saturday.

Wouldn't say he was dreadful, but he was quite clearly well into the down slope of his career before he came to Villa....and whoever agreed to give him a five year contract should be locked up!
Fancy giving a decent contract to a world-class player.
Awful defenders who miraculously become competent as soon as Given moves on.
I'll put my money on the Captain twins and cuckoo and cacka at full back being the same with Buffon behind them. Not saying there isn't any truth in what you said there Dave but it couldn't have helped. I guess we'll find put this year.
