VillaChris Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Was solid enough on crosses/corners which is always my main gripe with him. Tough decision for the final, over to you Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 nah, Shay starts. No question for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Should start the final of course. However Guzan is the reason we are still playing Premier League football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Back when we played Man Utd in the league cup final, Guzan had been our "cup keeper" all competition - but Given started in the final. Flip situation or not...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 He's distribution is class, Guzan isn't even close in matching him there. And commanding his area properly has been the main stick against Given, he seemed pretty fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Sherwood already said ahead of today's game that if we got to the final, Given would play. It's not even something worth speculating about, he'll play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't, he said he'd play UP TO the final - the suggestion was that Guzan would play in the final if we got there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 This shouldn't even be up for debate. Shay all the way. He's as much a reason as anyone that we're there. To not start him would be absolutely criminal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Given deserves to play in the final, as much as I would like to see Guzan play after he missed out 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% certain Given will start if available. Harsh on Brad but I think having been dropped himself in that situation he'll see the fairness of it.

Somewhere had run earlier in the week that he'd said he'd play up to the final, leaving the door open for Brad in the last match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 He did well with what he had to do (even claimed a cross!!) But Goose in goal for me in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'll presume this has been asked many times before but why is this thread named in such a way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will87 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Guzan has to play the final, the idea of not playing your strongest possible line-up for an FA Cup final is beyond absurd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I can't find the article but I was the one who posted in another thread that Sherwood stated that Given was going to start the Semi, but after that he was looking to Brad for the final if we made it.
