He's been below par for a few games now, with some bad decision making, but it must be hard for him having such an error prone back four.  Need him at his very best against Chelsea.

Time to bump this again.

We have the best goalie in the league.

Slight mix up with luna early on but that apart it was a goalkeeping performance of the highest level from him yesterday - top class!

Agree he is at the top of his game. He will make some mistakes because he takes risks-which is why he is such a good keeper. S much better than the frozen to the line and flappy stuff we have seen in recent years.

Love Guzan's attitude.  Brave, strong and has that instinctive ability to keep the ball out of the net when a goal looks inevitable.  He makes genuinely surprising saves.  Commands his area well, also.  If he can sort out his kicking he really will be the complete package.

I really think Guzan is possibly the best keeper in the league. Hopefully at home there'll be more throwing it out to play from the back as he did hoof it fairly agriculturally yesterday (though it is understandable - Arsenal pressed high and we were away and a little nervous).

He does seem to have all the attributes, great reflexes, good shot stopper, commands his area, all the practice he got last year must have helped him.

He will only get better.  He will learn to judge whether to come and claim the ball or not as he gets more games under his belt.  Great that he has signed a new 4 year contract.  You can clearly see that he's loving being at Villa.  I think, if he had a real commanding centre half in front of him, I would feel even safer with him in goal.

Love the guy. The one handed save yesterday was world class, he wins us as many points as as Benteke, if not more.

Did anybody notice yesterday before the game when Vlaar went up to the centre circle to fulfill his captain's duties, the team met in a huddle and Brad gave the players a very animated pep talk? He's full of passion, commitment and as stated above, really seems to love life at the Villa.

The only thing about him that surprises me is none of the top clubs came in for him during the summer. We're very lucky to have him.

I can see that being next seasons transfer saga. Guzan will start getting more media attention this year I suspect which will lead to predictable speculation.

Love Brad, proper Villa keeper and my favourite since Bosnich.

Imagine him playing now behind the 09/10 defence, we'd have conceded 5 goals that season.
