HeyAnty

He opened my eyes his last few performances. Maybe the run in the team is helping

And I saw him getting the players up for it just before kick off. I think he could be our saviour

I think Norwich are going to get dragged into it

Really hope so.

If nothing else he offers us height at set pieces. Don't see Bennett heading away to many. Think that's why Bowery started as well because of his height

Bowery didn't carry a threat, but he did at least look neat and tidy for the most part, he looks a good one-touch player to me. I thought he done fine. Won a few great tackles round the middle

Any coincidense... Me thinks not.

Brilliant.

'He is such a bad footballer though. He has no technical ability at all and he can't pass.' Na thats pretty horrible in fairness

I believe so, but cant blame Lambert for hiim. Anyone other than me think he has a shocking shot on him? Times i have saw him line up a shot and shoot but there is more power in my big toe.

Any chance of locking this headless chicken in the bus because Lambert keeps putting him on and we end up conceding when he does.

Did Clarke not play left back for us at a stage. Keep Baker and Vlaar in the middle, put clarke left back.

Only thing i can hope is that he is going to be like Lucas from Liverpool. He was awful in his first season but look at him now.

I'm not so sure on that. Given started the first 2 league games but was dropped after the Everton game. Guzan played LC against tranmere kept a clean sheet and made some great saves earlier in the season. the roles reversed after that. Even in the 8-0 to Chelsea Guzan saved a penalty and made numerous good saves to keep the score down. I'm not saying Given is a bad keeper or knocking him at all. he did ok last year I suppose. But personally I've never been THAT convinced of him either here or at Newcastle or Man City. The only problem for me is that you're basing this on something you saw years ago rather than what's happening now. I understand what you're saying about giving him a break, but we did that and went out of 2 cups in a week as has been said before. Also the lad's been waiting years to get a chance here and really impressed when he was given that chance. On top of that I still think Man City did better out of us signing him than we did. Given is no Enkleman for sure, but he's not in the same class as Spink, Bosnich, Schmeichel or Friedel for me, and my heart would pick Sealey and Guzan ahead of him too. My heads hurting thinking about our defensive problems. Think I have to give up and accept there is no easy fix.

Here Thanks for that, never saw it before. Just as I suspected.

I havent seen much organising going on at present either so don't get your point. I'm just fed up conceding 8,4, 3, 2, 2 , 3 goals per game.

I haven't remembered Guzman making any spectacular saves recently bar against Chelsea so don't know were this very good has come from. He has been acceptable. And IMO its mainly the 2 CMs why we are conceeding all the goals. We conceed so many corners/set pieces resulting from defense been under so much pressure. Has anyone done a corners conceded per game ratio compared to any other prem team. Be interesting to see. You conceed enough per game ones bound to go in.

People were on here saying that was him out to end of season and Lambert didn't hold out much hope on in coming back. I didn't see lamberts comments regards this myself but the injury sounded pretty bad.

Yes I think the quicker he is back the better, but Lambert said last week when he named him in the professional squad that he would talk to him and let him decide if he was ready to play. So did Dunne say he wasn't ready and told trappatoni different. This is what I don't get It's been a week, what aren't you getting? I'm trying not to snipe, I just don't understand where you're coming from. He told trap at the weekend he wanted to play this coming Saturday. His injury must not be as bad as we suspected if he thinks he could play in that case.

How could he play for Ireland on sat if he is injured? I don't get this? What the **** are you babbling on about? Eh? The bloke wants to play football, he's clearly chomping at the bit. How on earth have you managed to twist that into a negative? How could he play for Ireland on sat if he is injured? I don't get this?

Given was one of the best keepers in premiership for years and you don't loose that over night. I'd give him a go, look at Cesar at QPR and some of his shot stopping past few games. Single handily picked up them some points. I can't think of too many crazy saves Guzan has made past few games. Not saying he is bad just give him a break

I thought it was a strange coincidence that he got injured the exact same day he was named in the provesional squad and there was a chance he could even have started. A team wouldn't have came in for him and he refused to leave?

I'd give Given a chance. Maybe he could organise the defense better at set pieces or stop the odd shot or two. Think one of Evertons goals could have been saved at weekend. Not saying Guzan is bad but maybe time to take him out fo the firing line for a period.

Yeah i dont get it either, something strange going on. Is he training at moment does anyone know?
