MyLord Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Disappointing to see an old dog like him make a rookie mistake like that in an all important game when we had just equalized. Vlaar, you mean? Vlaar lost the ball, but there really is no excuse for being beaten from that distance. Even if Brad started in a decent position, that shot (which started at the far right of his goal and ended up in his top-right hand corner) would still be pretty difficult to save IMO. I was right behind it, 5 rows back and must have been one of the only Villa fans who appreciated the difficulty of the technique and perfect execution. Sure it mightily annoyed me, not least as we were wet-through, but it was a quality finish that Guzan couldn't do much about from his starting position for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he seemingly did it because he was annoyed with Pony. An experienced quality player like him should not have fallen for that. And you could see from his face he knew it himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Another player we may struggle to hold on to IMO. Hardly, he's a good keeper for us but again there wont be a line of clubs trying to sign him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I could see a few clubs wanting Guzan but he has no reason to leave. He is clearly our #1, he has been at the club for years now, and he is very well liked. Guzan has been having another solid season barring a couple of mistakes, but that is expected from every keeper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 On a long term deal aswell so can't see many paying what we'd ask for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 He is one of the few players that I want stay and will want to stay too. He loves it at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Other clubs may want him but only as their No. 2 goalie, I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 And he seemingly did it because he was annoyed with Pony. He had been shouting himself hoarse at the ref because there was no room to hoof it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 1, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2014 I don't think you can blame him for getting beaten from that distance given his position. The error was giving a relative hospital pass to Vlaar which meant he was out of position. But it was a great goal. Shades of Petrov vs Derby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazvfc Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 He is one of 4 players we need to build the team around. You can't really build a team around a keeper You build the spine first - goalkeeper, central defender, central midfielder, striker - then build the rest. So in some ways you do build the team around the keeper in a manner of speaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
