Given or Guzan?

[kippaxvilla2]

Guzan's a Given surely?

[Summers]

Given is our number one and should stay it.. however Guzan has been great and has showed us he's capable. It's no secret Given picks up little knocks, and now we know Guzan is capable to step in and do the business.

Don't trust Guzan, no matter how many decent performances he puts in.   I've seen him have several shaky performances. In a decade, I don't remember more than one or two poor performances from Given, and none while playing for us as yet.

This.

[philthebar]

Guzan for me.

1. He commands his area better
2. He comes for crosses and takes the pressure of defenders

Give is a good shot stopper, but he makes saves that he shouldn't have to make as his positioning is suspect and because of the two items above.

[cheltenhamlion]

Given, without question.

[darren woolley]

Given for me.

Remind me of Guzan's other shaky performances apart from the 6-4 Blackburn game?

If he's had several then you must have a good list to pick from...

[Ryu]

Probably given should come back in, as he has that ability to make point-winning saves most keepers wouldn't.  But Guzan is still young as keepers go and could be a very good keeper so I hope we do all we can to keep him.   

[Irish villain]

Shay Given is a world class 'keeper. He has to be our number one.

Guzan has been impressive, and it's good to know we have him there should Given suffer any injury ir a serious dip in form.

[philthebar]

Wouldn't surprise me if Guzan goes in the summer -

[villasjf]

I think he will be off too, he has had a taste of premier league football now and wants to play regularly. His contract is up at the end of the season.

[nigel]

Right now Guzan should keep the shirt until Given is 1 fit and 2 Guzan lets us down.

Agree
I've thought the defence looked as good, if not better, with Brad behind.
Guzan has waited and waited for his chance, as you say hawkeye, until he lets us down he deserves his extended run in the team.

[Shoody]

Given is our number one. But Guzan doesnt deserve to be dropped. Tough choice.

[Smoke]

I think Given should come back in but only once 100% fit no need to rush him.


Guzan's performances should have earned him a new 3 year contract IMO. A very capable premier league number 2.
