Given or Guzan?

[Legion]

Once Given returns to full fitness, who should be first choice? As good as Guzan has been for us (I eat a LOT of humble pie here) since Given got injured I would still put Shay straight back in. Thoughts?

[PaulWinch again]

Given for me.

[taylorsworkrate]

Given without a doubt for me.

Guzan's done ok, but Given is just a far superior keeper.

[pauliewalnuts]

Guzan has done well.

Given is one of the best goalkeepers in the league.

[Villanation]

Given has more authority about his area.

Guzan looks to me like he's shaping up well.

6of 1 half a dozen of the other.

[Pete3206]

Given. No contest.

[Toronto Villa]

Guzman has merely proven that we have little to worry about should Shay get injured. He's good, but Shay Given good he ain't.

[Somniloquism]

Given has more authority about his area.

Guzan looks to me like he's shaping up well.

Does he? I thought Given liked to stay on his line and Guzan is definitely louder when calling to his defenders.

Unless it is next year.

[Chipsticks]

It's Given for me, but I'd definately let Guzan play in the Cup games, even considering our next one's probably gonna be away at Arsenal.

[gervilla]

Given.
Brad looks to have shaken off the dodgy form shown in the League Cup semis v Blackburn and had done well but Given is a far better keeper.

[Villanation]

Given has more authority about his area.

Guzan looks to me like he's shaping up well.

Authority, being Given, great shot stopper, great positional ability, not talking so much about how he commands the area, I'd bet defenders are more confident knowing Given is behind them.

[Shrek]

Guzan for me.

He is better in the air, more commanding of his area and comes for crosses.

No place for sentiment, Guzan could be our number one for the next decade.

But I'm happy we now have two good goalkeepers.

[D.boy]

Given number 1 however Brad has proved he is a more than capable deputy.

[Ian.]

I have not seen much of Given as I was away. Brad has done very well indeed. I was quite nervous thinking he would come in for Given based on some of performances in the past.
I'd still put Given back in though he is our number one and a very very good goal keeper, one of the best around.
