Oh, and not to put the fear of God into his own defence.

Admittedly I haven't read too many match reports on yesterday's game but, of those I have quickly looked at all say that Leicester missed a penalty.  Whilst that is undoubtably true, I have not seen it reported that Bunn saved a penalty.  You may bet your balls that had that been De Gea today or Czech it would have been reported so.

Other than his insane charge out of the area he did well.

It was a good save Dave.  He did the textbook starfish body spread and stopped the shot. No miss about it.  Their goal came after he had made a great save and without technology back in the day he would have "saved" the follow up.

It was a good save Brian.  It's so annoying that these know-nothings fail to report it as such.  It makes me angry, they seem to see no positivity in us at all.  All this talking us down should only strengthen our resolve, I hope it does.

Overall did well and showed self  confidence something Guzan has had kicked out of him.

He is never going to be another Rimmer or Bosi but hang on a minute Benteke  was never another Andy Gray.

He kicks better than Jimmy Rimmer WW. Every kick Jimmy made bent like a banana in flight.  I think in golf it is called a hook or a slice.  He kicked with his foot at an angle so the flight of the ball was never exactly straight. Otherwise a damn fine keeper.

Before the goal was given, I actually thought he'd made the save of the century.

It was top drawer. My mate questioned his positioning, but Vardy took it so early and should never have been in from a goal kick.

I like him.

I don't think Guzan's ever saved a competitive penalty... has he?

I watched the highlights today after being at the game yesterday and thought his initial save off Vardy's lob was superb.

Several against Sunderland in the League Cup. And one when we were about 17-0 down to Chelsea in 2012.

Did he save one at Norwich a few season's back?

He used to be good at it. Didn't he save a few in the Peace Cup. Our last glorious cup triumph? Granted not competitive but in his early days it was deemed that Guzan was a bit of a penalty specialist. Last 3 years he's always a country mile off saving the bastards.
