Shay Given Shits Himself On Set Pieces

[Freestyler]

I watched him closely today, everytime Stoke got a throw in or a free-kick, his head went down and he started scrapin the floor and said something to himself, his look on his face everytime we conceeded was more like 'oh shit, please no', not seen the highlights of the goal but where the fuck was he for the Stoke goal?

any ball that lands 5 yards from your goal line you attack, not the first time i have commented on Givens lack of ability to command his area and take control on this form and it's been highlighted by alot of people, the defence know he won't come for it and it put's even more pressure on them, to help this we shouldn't have 10 men in our area, we should take 4 men out and draw more Stoke players away from the attack,

Today once again his ball distribution was appauling and he gave Bridge one of the worse balls i have ever seen, Bridge had a man marking him 4 yards behind, his communication with Toure is never ever there, FFS wouldn't you think in training he could work on his vocal organisation and most of all how to come out his net and catch the ball or at least punch it away?

WORLD CLASS KEEPER at shot stopping, absolutely clueless at commanding his own, i'm sorry Shay but it's added pressure to the defence, i worry more for Shay now than our back 4, if Delap rockets these throw in's on tuesday and in the replay Given will be on tenterhooks all game and so will i aswell, i'd rather Stoke gEt a corner than a throw in.

I think me and you have had the Shay argument in the past, but I must admit that every time the ball is played back to him at the moment, a small amount of trepidation rises within me. Soon, he's going to get caught out with his kicking by a fast striker.
I'm also annoyed at how often he plays it long and high to Ade instead of short and simple, but Toure and half of the team just seem to do this for periods of the game recently.

Agreed Given's poor kicking lead to the throw in as well. Never comes out and commands his area.

New keeper needed ! Not good enough ! I know you lot keep having a go at me for this, but when is the penny finally going to drop.

He´s filling me with less and less confidence every game atm

Get John "budgie" Buridge back !!

Agree with Freestyler; amazing shot-stopper; awful commanding his box, and claiming crosses though.

The question i would love to know the answer to though is: do you think he save us more points with his incredible saves, than he losses points with his poor set-piece handling?

I saw this thread title and I knew you would be on here giving someone abuse, if you dont like people having an opinion then i would suggest a forum is not the place for you! So please Shay allow people to have their opinion!
