I'm sure Given will look to move on as if he was content to be a back up he would've stayed at Man. City and picked up a few medals before his career finished.

Like Dave, I'm not sure where he'll go as QPR are well stocked with keepers now.

I think Given has lost a bit of agility with the groin and shoulder injuries he's had the last few years and I think he struggles to get around the goal now.

Pienaar shot wasn't an obvious mistake but Guzan saved a similar shot on Saturday. I'm also not convinced Given would've got to Cabaye's free kick in the last minute that saved us a point at Newcastle.

Much more confident with Guzan in goal, long may he stay there.

even if there is nothing between the two keepers, Guzan should still get the nod as he is the future and will get even better with playing experience,
 lets face it Given will not improve any more now, although i dont think there is much to choose between the two of them at the moment that will change quite soon

One is on the way up. The other is on the way down. I know which one I would play.

Hopefully today's result will put an end to the ridiculous Guzan experiment. Lerner's gonna have to keep paying Givens wages after all.

1. Which of the four goals were Guzans fault ?

2. By experiment, do you mean having two goalkeepers in your squad and hopefully both being under pressure from the other?

Well I'd say the fourth was quite clearly his fault, wouldn't you?

No.  It was Clark's fault as he lost his man and stood there doing a Tony Adams impression with his arm in the air.

Guzan was poor today as were most players, he could be possibly be criticised for the 1st and 4th goals if we are being critical but the defence were also very poor, a day to forget and lets hope we see the best of our side against the Albion, few if any can be proud of today's performance .

Given I am sure will get his chance against man city as will maybe some others ie, gabby nzog etc - lets see how they do and take it from there.

It would be harsh to single out one player from this performance as they were all culpable.

Not the greatest today, but my biggest gripe with him today was he didn't roll the ball out to the defenders, though it well may have beenm there fault as much as his, but it was disappointing. Hopefully we'll start it again next week.

Bit harsh on both that, I feel.

Given is done- Euro 2102 proved that

Guzan was a back up keeper to freidal - who we let go and then re-signed again

neither are good enough imo
