His kicking is the worst I've seen of any keeper who's played in the PL, except for where he occasionally spotted the opportunity to start a quick break with a long kick, but I thought his command of the box was fine, at least in his first couple of seasons. That completely went at some point in 2014 though.

Bosnich would run him close.

I raise you with Mark Bosnich, close call but I think Bossie just edges it

Made up for by excelling in the other stuff, let himself down after Villa.

Guzan has always been a decent shot stopper but poor on crosses and his kicking is terrible

That never used to be the case though (the crosses, kicking has never been his thing).

Back in Lambert's first season he was claiming more crosses than anybody else in the league, and by quite a margin as well. He's fully broken now though.

I was just about to say, Bozzie was outstanding in pretty much every other area of goalkeeping.

Is pretty clearly going to be Di Matteo.  Just want to see who his coaching team will be.

Guzan has always been a decent shot stopper but poor on crosses and his kicking is terrible, he also strikes me as being a bit thick. The days when that is enough have gone.
In the Lambert days Guzan's shot stopping was incredible and important as Bentekes goals in keeping us afloat however last season his reflexes were woeful, expecially from set pieces I'd go as far to suggest his eyesight is failing and he needs glasses.

I don't know that I ever viewed Dwight Yorke as thick when he was with us, but clearly all of those years conversing or whatever it was outside of sex with Jordan has turned his brain to fucking mush. He needs to stop talking about managing us because it makes him look a complete fucking tool.

Bloke called Mitchell played in goal for Preston in the 1922 Cup Final at Stamford Bridge wearing glasses. That is Brad's answer get down to Specsavers!

It's a risky appointment but hopefully will go well. My main concern is he's never built a team. He inherited good teams at MK Dons, the Baggies, Chelsea and even Schalke.

Better keep Paddy Riley on to advise him.

Bosnich had one weak part of his game, the kicking. Brad has loads of weak parts of his game. Basically his whole game is weak.
