Certainly today the defence can at least take some of the blame - 2 nd half we defended very poorly.

He isn't good enough yet. Being loud and American isn't the same as commanding a box. Hes hit and miss on crosses and his kicking is only slightly better than bosnichs. One of many players who are not good enough.

When it comes to commanding his box, he's much better than Given, though, and I can't help but think that's what we really need now, something to give the defence confidence.

neither are good enough imo
Which couple of keepers are you thinking we should have as our first and second choice instead?

I am not sure Guzan is the long term answer but he is definitely preferable to Given.

Drop Guzan because he was at fault for one goal? Ridiculous

No. He isn't good enough to be a first choice. He is a handy back up keeper who's good at penalties, but I don't see him being number 1 long term so I wouldn't persevere with him in the medium term. I think Given deserves a chance to rediscover some form.

I'd prefer to stick with Guzan for now. We can't keep chopping & changing keepers. Having said that, it's probably worth playing Given on Tuesday night to stop him getting rusty & a chance to regain some confidence.

I'd say stick with Brad and let Given be to one to be the Cup keeper as Brad was for long enough.
I don't see any reason why Brad should be dropped as number 1.

Guzan is much better than Carson I think who was incredibly lucky we had such a good attacking team as he was nowhere near a top 6 keeper.

But that shows you can sometimes get away with having a mediocre keeper if your attacking play works like a dream (well in that case accurate set pieces from Young).

Carson was a mute most of the time. An average keeper at best.
