He's grown immensely this season.

Says it all that the idea of Given taking his place is never even discussed, and Given himself is a proven, experienced keeper.

Player of the season for me. Had it been Given and not Guzan in goal this season, we'd be fucked by now.

Thats a daft thing to say Paulie. How do you know how Given would have performed in front of that defence?

Agree with you however re Guzan. He has been remarkable this season. Player of the season without any doubt.

Yes, player of the season he is.  Others, Given included, would have dropped their heads with the amount we've shipped over the weeks.  Brad has got on with it and looked solid game after game.  He deserves a performance like today and he's worth it. 

He and Benteke are up there with the best signings of the season.

Well, for starters, the defence would be worse organised - yes, even worse - in front of Given, and his reluctance to come off his line would have cost us. He's a good shot stopper, but Guzan's performances have been top notch.

Guzan has certainly proved me wrong, never thought he would make it as a premiership keeper, but has proved he is a top class one and great to hear Lambert giving him the praise he certainly deserves.

Guzan was immense today.  The save from Samba is one of the best this season.

Guzan has been our shining light this year. That's partly a reflection of how utterly bollocks our defence has been - with a decent back four in front of him, he'd have been far less busy.

But he's been close to flawless all season, and I wouldn't swap him for any other keeper right now. Really pleased for him.

Two truly great saves in the first half.  I think his kicking has also really come on since he first came to the club.

He could easily be at one of the top 4 clubs. He's that good. It's lucky in a way that he's not Spanish or French, because he might be at a bigger club by now. American keepers seem to slip under the radar somewhat until they're in their 30's.
I still don't think people outside our club take too much notice of him. Possibly they just take one look at the goals conceded tally, I don't know but personally he's better than anything Arsenal have. He's better than De Gea. Top keeper.
Brad's also a rare breed of keeper who likes to catch the ball and claim it. It's a dying art.

Fucking immense and he cares aswell. Top keeper and we might lose him to a better team in the summer.

If we stay up, I think he will stay with the club. Seems to enjoy the place and will repay the faith Lambert has shown in him

Just look back at the Everton game when Given was dropped.

Obviously the second one was a horror show that can happen to any goalie (even Guzan will make a rick like that in one game) but I look at the pienaar shot that beat him aswell. Good strike but it was hardly top corner and Guzan's saved a few of those this season, I believe he would've tipped that over the bar.

He's just a more agile keeper who flys across the goal, Given used to do that at Newcastle but I believe his groin injuries have put a stop to that.

O.k it was a decent strike but it was hardly top corner. I reckon Guzan would've got

I think it must be his name. If he actually was called Guzman, the scouts would find him no probs.
