Moaning?! Not one word of the OP's post was moaning!bluebannana said:we havent lost a game and hes probably the best keeper in the league stop moaning !
I don't agree with this at all. I think Given is a very average goalkeeper. Joe Hart has so many more positives to his game. All goalkeepers are at fault for a number of goals at every club. His concentration isn't poor, he might have the odd lapse but so does everyone. Ileighton said:Last season Hart was lucky to stay in the team with Given at the club. He was at fault for a number of goals during that season as he has been this season. Stupid basic keeping is his biggest fault. His concentration is poor and distribution is hit and miss.
If it weren't for Joe in Napoli we would have lost 4-1!Rammyblues said:IMO he seems to being found out in CL, hopefully he will learn from these mistakes which in turn will improve him as a player.
Disagree at Brum they only had Maik Taylor. Not that i know the in's and outs of what they do in training but kicking used to be one of his stronger points it seems to have gone a bit under Massimo Battaramansour's tow ropes said:While joe has still been decent in net this season, i think everyone must admit that he has made more errors than last season put together, several of which have led to silly goals being conceded.
He is not the only reason we are conceding more this season; we arent as defensive in games as we were last season, but i think he could have conceded a few less.
Now, could the reason behind this be the lack of a serious back up keeper? He is ubtouchable in our squad as costel is unlikely to become our regular number one. Last season he had given waiting in the wings and at birmingham he was not guaranteed a place in either the birmingham or city team, so he had to be on top of his game.
However, is the lack of a quality replacement leading to him becoming slightly complacement? Im sure his motivation is to help his club and his teammates and he isnt a selfish player, but i wonder if the lack of a proven gk on the bench has caused some of the errors?
