He is costing us too many points. The problem is when goalkeepers lose the trust of the defence you have a problem and that problem spreads.
Another big mistake in the next couple of gams and he should be dropped.

He's been a tad shaky in the last couple of weeks by his standards but considering he's been our most consistent player for the last couple of years, I'm inclined to cut him some slack.

I think Brad needs dropping for a couple of weeks. I love him as a keeper and he is still our long term no.1 but mistakes are creeping in and costing us, his distribution has also been absolutely awful for 3-4 matches. Given should get a game against United. If u want 100% and top performances EVERY player needs to know they are not undroppable, I'm not sure big Brad knows he is. It my do him some good to be out of the firing line as well

Dropping him could wreck his confidence even more though. Plus I don't trust Given to be as good as an off form Brad.

Definitely been a below par but not sure dropping him is the answer especially when the replacement is a an old fogie who's barely played a game in two years.

I'd stick with him, though he does seem to have developed a certain anxiety in recent weeks, especially early on in games.

I love brad,
He was MOTM against west ham a few games ago and most people thought he gained us a point down there

Sky have been talking about De Gea (no surprise there) and showing his stats. I think on just about every selection of their stats where they showed who the top 5 keepers in the Premier League are, Guzan was listed. I don't think we need to do anything hasty and Shay Given has shown in the past that he's a good shot stopper but doesn't really offer anything beyond that.

Distribution a bit shit now and then but I love Brad!
As our goalkeeper.
Not a man-love type thing.
Honest.

Your keeper needs to be ridiculously out of form to get dropped. One of those basic football rules is that you don't mess with the spine of the team unless it's absolutely necessary. Guzan's not shown enough bad form to be dropped for me.

Poor error yesterday but he's still number one to my money.

He has so much credit in the bank it's not funny. Yes, he's not been at his best recently but he's still the only GK that I would come close to considering right now.

He's kept us in the game more often than not. Also the amount he had to do when we sit back and let them attack we're asking for trouble.
I'm more than happy with our goalkeeper, there's far more pressing problems than having a go at Brad.

His distribution has been poor for quite a while, I am never confident that he will find one of ours when he launches one, but on the balance of his all round game, he should be allowed a bit longer, before screaming for his head, he has not had the most settled of defences in front of him, for quite a while.

I wouldn't drop him. No way. He might have made an error against Leicester but he also pull off a top class save which helped us take home three points.
As TV says, he's got a lot of credit in the bank and he was also instrumental in us going 6 unbeaten.
Given is a fine keeper, but he's 38, ring rusty and would you really want to bring him back during a hectic Xmas period?
Shay needs to play the FA Cup tie, get his gloves warm. If Guzan's credit is running low at that point then we can drop him a few games, but I think he'll be fine. No keeper is error proof.
Guzan was just as instrumental as Benteke in keeping us up the previous two seasons. He's dragged us through countless games that we've lost a grip of.
