avfc1982 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 He truly is an horrendous keeper. Remember we actually got rid of him then re-signed him when we realised Randy wouldn't release funds to sign an upgrade. Another sympton of this great club's decline.

And then he went on to be our player of the season and have a career year leading the league in numerous keeper stats? Yup I remember that. We were very smart to not let Guzan go. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 as horrible as he has been, i do not understand why he gets the abuse that Le$cott and Bacuna get during the games. Have i missed something he's said? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the most unprofessional players I've ever seen, his concentration and mental preparation for the game is disgusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lescott is constantly ball watching, and Richards can't even be bothered to run back and cover his man. Guzan has made a lot of mistakes this season no doubt about it, but his defense is constantly allowing these chances and forcing Guzan to come out on crosses and awkward balls because of the defense's ineptitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heid3ster Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I think we would probably concede the exact same number of goals if we played with no keeper at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Surely at this point the worst keeper in Villa's history. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I remember that. We were very smart to not let Guzan go. And what a foolish decision it was. Guzan was overrated by so many for so long. He was always indecisive, clumsy, poor with crosses and distribution woeful, but sadly a lot of fans conveniently ignored that and would judge him just on his saves which were on occasions were decent, but then every keeper looks good occasionally. What a pity we didn't have the sense to get rid when we realised how truly shite he was. So many people at Villa have had their heads buried in the sand for the last 6 years. Now look at us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true at all. Infact, he was one of the best goalkeepers at collecting crosses in the league. He's shit now, but wasn't back then. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 a keeper that had so much potential and promise, that started well, looked good, most of us were eager for him to take the number 1 shirt, but what happened to him? we all know what happened, villa happened to him, this place has a dark horrible black cloud of it that can turn the best players into shit.

MuleAthon Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Can't help but feel, once again, that he has suffered from being behind one of the worst defences I've ever seen playing the professional game. I don't think there's a huge amount he's done wrong, other than allow himself to be stitched up by the idiots in front of him, and accordingly panic when the ball ends up coming back at him, again and again and again...

Czechlad Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Go ahead and criticize Guzan this year, but saying he was always shit and nothing special is absolutely wrong. Guzan's 12-13 season was fantastic. He made 2-3 world class saves. I still remember I think it was Dyer's shot that was going perfect top corner, but Guzan at full reach got a finger tip to it and it just went wide. Though, the one thing you are right about is Guzan was always making mistakes in goal. A lot of times Guzan would parry a shot into a dangerous spot or leave a rebound, but the difference then was we had Vlaar and Baker who were much quicker and aware than Lescott and Richards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny to think of Baker as being quicker and more aware than anyone, isn't it? (And I don't disagree.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
