ozvillafan Posted October 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2013 thought he made some fine saves again on sunday and was very unlucky for the 1st goal, nothing he could do about it. think its getting to the stage where he is probably our best keeper since Bosnich though the quality of both defences in front of them is a huge gulf in quality Was listening to Bosnich the other day (he's a pundit now) talking about Joe Hart after Man City's loss to us. He mentioned that when a team is playing a bit off or the defence is having a bad day, that's when you need your GK to step up and give you a chance of at least winning a point and providing some confidence and encouragement to the team that they can still turn it around. (And, obviously, Man City don't have this). So happy we have Guzan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian guy Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 is it true guzan turned down arsenal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 is it true guzan turned down arsenal? All I heard was that Wenger was interested in bringing in Guzan but this was through the papers. Doubt it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Must be getting bored, comes out and claims a couple balls a game but not a lot of saves to note in the last two games. I must say, he better be one of our better long range passers by the end of the season by the amount of kicking he's had to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I love Brad to bits and he's been the best keeper we've had for years but I think a weakness of his game and maybe one of the top clubs hasn't made a bid is he's really slow off his line. Take early on today....defence were waiting for him to come out and clear but he hesitated and the Cardiff player nearly nipped in to score. He's no Lloris....a sweeper keeper the top clubs like to have especially if you have a high defensive line. Still brilliant though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the defenders fault myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Nah there was enough distance between the ball and the players for Guzan to claim it if he'd been a bit sharper. His kicking is inconsistent aswell although he gets decent distance on his clearences most of the time. Top class in all other respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a difficult one for the goalkeeper sometimes. If you come out like say hart did against us and Chelsea and you dont get there you are made to look like an idiot.

samjp26 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 He plays for Villa, he isn't ever going to be perfect in every aspect, but he's perfect enough for me and perfect enough for our number 1 shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) It was Baker. A defender should never tell a keep what to do. Just get rid of it. Guzan should have been quicker but Baker should have just hoofed it away. Edited November 9, 2013 by StefanAVFC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Seen on Fox News, that he's been left out for US games due to an injury. http://tinyurl.com/nhcq4sm Goalkeeper Brad Guzan and defenders Edgar Castillo and Clarence Goodson also are hurt and were not included in the 23-man group announced Monday by the U.S. Soccer Federation.

Avflife Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Out of the US's friendlies this and next week, going feel very unconformable if Steer is in goal for the game against the 'Obsessed ones', would personally play Given.

Avfc96 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hopefully the injury is not serious. Steer is nowhere near the level of Guzan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Another **** injury? Yep, currently stands at Guzan, Clark, Delph, Gabby, Luna and Weimann, not including the long-term injuries to Okore, N'Zogbia and Gardner, 9 injuries and we aren't even a third of the way through the season.
