I doubt any keeper has made more saves than Guzan this season though. And how of the many many goals we've conceded can you blame him for? That's why it would be between him and Begovic. If i'd seen Begovic every week I may rate him a lot higher, or lower.

TBH, watching today, I get the impression he's been spoken to about it, and was acting on instructions to that effect. To his credit of course.Is he better than Given? Arguable.Better value for money? Unquestionably. And I guess that's what's matters these days.That's a very harsh assessment in my opinion.

Statistics until the end of December 2012Brad's in fifth for number of saves made, behind Schwarzer, Mignolet, Al-Habsi and Jääskeläinen.Probably more relevant is the percentage of shots that he saved - only 64%, which while not exactly disgraceful is nowhere need as high as some keepers. Impressive on the crossing though, he's miles out of front on the number of crosses that he's caught
The quality of shots they are facing will have an impact for example. For example a keeper could make 10 saves in a match but all are weak grass cutters. He saves 10 and keeps a clean sheet. Another keeper could save 2, concede 3 but all were stunners.
I heard him aswell, was that the talksport interview with Stan you listened to him.I did hear him utter "we go again" a few times so clearly the players do understand Lambert....
