Guzan is possibly my favourite Villa keeper after Rimmer .
that's a big call - what about Carson, michael oakes and thomas sorryson?

I think I would have to go Bosnich, Rimmer, Guzan.

I really liked David James during 99-00 but the cup final error soured things.

Guzan certainly my 2nd favourite after Bosnich.

He's the best keeper in the league, I genuinely wouldn't swap him for anyone.

They were talking about the top 3 keepers in the Premier League prior to the Sunderland-Southampton game. I think there are a lot of really good keepers around at the moment and picking a top 3 would be difficult and it would likely to differ a lot from person to person.

Hate to buck the trend as i do rate him but a couple of things i have noticed

* When he first made a regular his command of his box, especially in the air was a great asset - it seems to have gone away and many times i say "go on then keepers" to see him rooted to his line


* i thought he was slow to react towards Sturridge and by going down early made his mind up for him to chip him (Although it was a great finish tbh)

* Although rat boy made the most of it - if you go at a players feet in the box you have to get something of the ball, it has to be seen to change direction. It didnt so any contact with player plays into their hands

I am concered that Steer is not good enough to keep Brad at his best so i do worry about compancency creeping in

With the Sturidge goal, there was not much chance to get out because from the moment it left Hendersons foot, it was probably in the net in just under 2 seconds.

And as for the pen, I expect every keeper who comes out that way believes they are getting the ball. If he hadn't dived for the ball, then Suarez would not have to divert it and might have actually squeezed it in, especially if Brad came out and then hesitated.

BT Sport. I think it was McManaman and David James on at the time.

I honestly have no idea who my top 3 would be. It would quickly become a top 8 or something.

I just tried picking three and ended up with Guzan, DeGea, Lloris, Krul and Sceszaacyazyayccaayy from Arsenal without even thinking.

edit: also Begovic

What's happened with Benji Seafrance (can't recall surname)?

Is he still with us?

Siegrist's on loan to Burton but not playing. He sounded like a real prospect when he was 15/16 but it's starting to look like it's not going to happen.

A few loopy moments against us aside (remember when he tried to tackle Benteke on opening day and had to rush back to make that diving save?) he's been well good this season.
