Pretty much the same as you supertom...always thought that it was a mistake to let him go and pleased when Lambert resigned him...and he proved his worth for a couple of seasons, but his behaviour when not under pressure - which then puts us under pressure - and his bizarre errors are becoming more frequent and leading directly to goals.

I can see that TS doesn't want to shatter Guzan's confidence completely by dropping him - and is giving him the benefit of the doubt - but at the end of the day, as TS himself said...we lost the game.
And that was partly due to Guzan.

I's just too easy these days to recall Guzan costing us points. 

He's been poor for a season and a half now. Cost us a lot more than he's saved us. I don't know what's happened to him, it's been a gradual thing, he's been criticised a fair bit for America as well lately.

I can think just off the top of my head of three occasions over the last 12 months where hes made major mistakes which have directly caused goals against - leicester at home, man city and yesterday. Then there are goals like shelveys against us which although very good strikes, he was caught off his line and slow to react. Thats not great, especially when hes not winning us points in return. I think he is also a poor communicator, particularly at set pieces, and his distribution is rubbish.

He can still make the regulation saves that you would expect any keeper to, but other keepers are facing tougher chances and situations where you would normally think the attacking side has the advantage, and are also making saves there as well. Tonight for West Ham Randolph made a really good fingertip save off a big deflection to keep it at 2-0 - on present form its a save i cant see Guzan making.

Guzan must also take part of the blame for the cock up with Amavi at Palace. For me that equates to 2pts dropped this season due to Guzan.

Only saw the highlights but fair to say Brad had a better game and kept the score down with some decent saves?

Yup. He and Sanchez were probably the only two to come out of the first half with any credit. In the second half there were a couple of sliced clearances into the Trinity, but he dealt with everything thrown at him without much fuss.

I reckon that early save from Rondon probably gave him a bit of confidence back.

I don't think his reaction saves have ever been called into question.

I thought he was hesitant and fumbled a few of those shots on Saturday. I've never been a fan of his but his confidence is pretty low at the moment.

that's right, I know your not a fan of his and that's fair enough we all have our opinions

but at least your not making rubbish up in a one eyed way to keep bashing him with no reason
he made some decent saves, his distribution was ok and didn't make any blunders, all in all one of our better performers on the day

some people thought he was the worst player on the pitch which is just a joke (imo)

also people that say well he's there to make saves that's his job, well strikers are there to score goals that's their job, but they still get credit applause for it when they do

You might want to add a 'not' in there John, otherwise it comes across a bit more aggressive than I think you're intending!

Also I'm uncomfortable with the words 'one eyed' and 'bashing' being used in the same sentence without a masturbatory reference.

Does he know when he kicks the ball he needs to get it in between the white lines? Every kick goes way right. Definitely confidence shot and not the keeper he was.

I was screaming at him from the Holte to get in the middle of the goal for the free kick. It was obvious to everyone in the ground where that ball was going apart from Guzan.
