I wouldn't drop him. No way. He might have made an error against Leicester but he also pull off a top class save which helped us take home three points. As TV says, he's got a lot of credit in the bank and he was also instrumental in us going 6 unbeaten. Given is a fine keeper, but he's 38, ring rusty and would you really want to bring him back during a hectic Xmas period? Shay needs to play the FA Cup tie, get his gloves warm. If Guzan's credit is running low at that point then we can drop him a few games, but I think he'll be fine. No keeper is error proof. Guzan was just as instrumental as Benteke in keeping us up the previous two seasons. He's dragged us through countless games that we've lost a grip of.
I wouldn't even put goalkeeper in the top five positions we need to look at in January.Yeah, he's having a bad patch, but it won't go on forever, and he has enough credit in the bank to be trusted, surely?

It would leave us with Given who has barely played for 2 seasons and Steer who has little PL experience.I'd say its an area which needs looking at.
GK isn't a position you look at unless you are about to make a change to your number one. It's not like you rotate keepers, you either start or don't start them, and given we have so many other pressing concerns I wouldn't even contemplate a change at that position. I don't think he's been complacent. He's just not been up to his incredibly high standards that we have all come to expect and in a way spoiled by. He's come to our rescue us on so many occasions with world class saves. Let's not get on his back, and instead get behind him. Put better players in front of him and things will improve.
I don't blame Brad for the Leicester goal, what exactly was he meant to do when it took a deflection so close to him? His dealing with crosses and kicking are what have gone downhill, his shot stopping is still excellent.
