I was a big fan of John Burridge, he had great presence.

Tim Krul is (IMO) one of the top keepers in the league.

He had plenty, right up to the six yard line. He wasn't nicknamed Dracula for nothing..

I think De Gea has just fallen out of many people's top 3 keepers list.

Tim Howard is taking a break from international football, so Brad is now the US Number one

Courtois is the dogs bollocks. Then for me brad joins de gea, lloris and maybe krul and begovic (if I'm in a good mood)

I think Guzan has got to sort out his distribution.  He is starting to look a bit arrogant in demanding the ball from defenders, telling players to push up and then miss-kicking many of his kicks up field.  For some time now he has not been looking up when he gets the ball to see if he can throw it out.  If you are not winning the ball in the air, the delayed kick up field is of no use and in which case the early ball can be far better.

Pleased for him getting the chance with the states, its a good chance for him to claim that spot.  He is an outstanding goalkeeper who has worked very hard to improve since he first debuted, and should play a crucial part again this season.  I just hope that we can get a more settled defence to help him out.

That first half display against QPR two seasons ago was one of the best goalie performances I've ever seen. Crucial too.

Agreed also but I think he made one or two errors last season. I think he, like many in the team, rose to the challenge when needed two seasons ago but didn't seem to push on last season. Nothing more than a good dependable keeper at the moment for me and i don't put him in the top 5 or so keepers in the league.

Last season had him trying to anticipate the errors coming from Lowton, Luna and Baker. Last season saw our powder-puff central MF conceding ground to the opposition.
Last season Brad did pretty well considering the shite in front of him.
And for the previous season as well.

Not that I'm eulogising him too much, you understand.

Agree with what you're saying if that was two seasons ago but last season the ball was very rarely lost in the air unlike two seasons ago. Cornalties, free-kicks, and crosses were genuine moments of terror. That changed so Guzan didn't need to come out more. I saw a few more mistakes creeping in terms of shots he should have saved. Distribution wasnt great but that may have been the tactics of hoof down the middle that worked once.

He is still pretty young for a goalkeeper also.  Considering our form of recent seasons I think he has been very good.

He won us a point today with that save from Westwood's mistake.
