His confidence is completely shot.  Demonstrated clearly during the first half yesterday when a hopeful ball was played over the top into the channel, centre back was turned and under pressure yet Guzan was rooted to his line.  Unless he has a lobotomy in summer he needs replacing.

I think the amount of abuse being thrown at Guzan is a bit unfair, granted, he's made mistakes but given the amount of pressure our keepers come under its obvious he will make more than if he was playing behind defenders who could actually defend. He almost single-handedly kept us up a few seasons back and he doesn't deliberately set out to make mistakes. Sorry but I think it's a bit harsh to jeer/cheer(ironically)/boo his every move.
Maybe, just maybe he is being booed for something else
Ah - you refer to the chewing gum incident at Wycombe, we probably wouldn't have heard too much about that if we'd been top of the league and winning 3-0. Wasn't lescott involved in that incident too but he doesn't seem to be copping it like Guzan is.
He does.
Every time his name is read out, every time he is on the ball in the first few minuets and at times during the game

If he couldn't put a 39 year old friedel under pressure for the goalies shirt then what does that tell you

Perhaps that Friedel was an exceptional goalkeeper. As the insane number of consecutive games he played for Blackburn/Villa/Spurs will testify.

That's not to say that I'm defending Guzan. He's been poor for the last two seasons. I can't help feeling had we retained Shay Given and let Guzan go to Stoke instead things might have been a bit different. Not out-of-trouble different but at least with more points than we have currently.

Guzan is the same as the rest of our defence. Each of them seems to have one major rick per game. That's, potentially five unforced errors per game.  14 goals given away this season from unforced errors. It just happened to be Clark's turn on Saturday. Guzan will always be a number two. We need to replace him, Bunn too. The relationship is broken and he must feel shit but he lacks quality.

I was in the Trinity for the first time in years and it sounded horrendous every time the ball went near him - which isn't helping anybody.

The only goalkeeper in history that needs to enter the field of play with a bucket to help him catch the ball.
