Guzan

Very surprised how many are saying Carson was okay until the Croatia game.   I  thought from the moment I first saw him play for us that he was awful.  He seemed to dive in slow motion, and often only began to react after the ball had sailed past him into the top corner.  I remember being amazed he was in the England squad at all, and when he was selected against Croatia I feared the worst and it came as no surprise whatsoever that he buggered up hugely.  It's also come as no surprise that his career has gone the same way as Richard Wright's.  Liverpool's 2m loan fee was their way of recouping some money for his "development" before anyone spotted he was gash.  And MON was stupid enough to cough up.

I agree with ktvillan. I thought he looked dodgy even behind a very good defence.

Carson was shit. I've never seen a keeper get beat so often from long range.

Paul Robinson runs him close. Neither dive properly, and often do so over the ball. Shit coaches in their youth at Leeds maybe, but both were poor.

Wonder how Given got on tonight?  Has he got a chance for Sunday?

Made some decent saves and looked solid but it would be harsh to leave Guzan out at the moment - I expect brad to get the nod on Sunday but he will know shay is breathing down his neck and he has to perform to retain his place.

If we get both GK's back to form together might even give PL the opportunity to start rotating the goalies to suit the opposition, or even to suit the defenders selected.

In terms of Goalkeeping prowess, managing the back line coming for crosses, commanding the box its Guzan.

In terms of the ability to stop the almost certain goal its Given

He used to be but he should have saved the Pienaar shot where as I didn't think Guzan could save the Dyer shot. Its not could too chop and change I would stick with Guzan.
I don't think Given would have saved that Dyer (I think it was) shot against Swansea. We'd have been 1 down and who knows what would have happened after that.

Don't think either would have saved the pienaar shot , shay was to blame only for fellaaini goal in my view- equally he may well have saved lamberts shot on Saturday which Guzan let in- given proved last night he is still a quality keeper but brad deserves to keep the shirt on Sunday.

He knows he will need to be on top form to keep his place and the competition is healthy.

Big game for Guzan tomorrow,a clean sheet would be nice!

Some solid defending in front of him will help.

Good luck back home Brad. You've got it in your locker to be a top keeper.
