HeyAnty Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Does anyone thing Guzan should step up and be a leader. When Vlarr is out its obvious we dont have on the team. Fantastic keeper and all he is, id like to see him more vocal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Its difficult for a goal keeper to be a leader on the pitch. It needs to be a outfield player really who can get close to a player and kick ass. We haven't got either unfortunatey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 9, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yes, most preferably a CB who can control the defense first hand. This is one of the reasons why an inexperienced CB duo is a bad idea to start with, and why Clark - Baker has problems even though with Vlaar Clark is great.

Rovers13 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I don't think a lack of leadership was the problem though, both center backs were pretty good yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lack of leaderhip is a huge problem in this team! We may have not made the mistakes if the players had the likes of Vlaar shouting at them!!!

StefanAVFC Posted February 9, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Guzan seems to hate passing it out unless Vlaar is there. The amount of times he went to go to Baker, then reconsidered it yesterday was nuts. That leads to HOOOOOOF. Just shows how important Vlaar is throughout the entirety of the pitch.

villa kicks Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Super brad as I affectionally call him is in the top 3 gk in Premier League. I certainly feel he has gone about his villa career with great professionalism and deservedly is the mainstay in goal. Super Guzan has the agility and reflexes which make him a top keeper. He's developed his positioning and handling but I do think his kicking is his weakest area . Aerially Guzan is now reliable on crosses that it's just his throwing distribution that would make him leading uk based American keeper. I would certainly think he is an able captain as he's a great vocal communicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Guzan is a decent goalkeeper but not sure I'd go as far as saying he's one of the top 3 keepers in the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not even top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I just despair when I see him lining up to hoof it constantly. Is it his idea to do this, or is he doing what he has been instructed to do, because it just brings unwarranted pressure back on the team. I realise that our midfield is poor, but we really should be trying to build from the back, at least some of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimmyJimmer Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Guzan is a decent goalkeeper but not sure I'd go as far as saying he's one of the top 3 keepers in the premier league. This. Guzan is a good keeper, nothing more imo. I think a lot of his mistakes get over-looked on here whereas others, bennett & holt for example, get ripped to pieces. In fact holt hadn't even had chance to make a mistake before the vultures were on him! Evertons free kick, brunt & mulumbu's goals, arsenals 2, I think he should have done better with all of them.

Then you're quite harsh. Almost no keepers save those. He comes for crosses more than anyone and he still hasn't whiffed on one and cost villa a goal.

No. I actually can't remember Arsenal's goals, but I'd say you're wrong with all the rest. Top 3 keepers in the league? Probably not, but he's right up there, and only just outside that elite top group. I can only really think of De Gea, Lloris and Cech (when he's on form) who I'd say are obviously better than him. I think he's in the tier below those 3 along with the likes of Begovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggreed - he was slow getting across for both Evertons free kick and Brunts goal...... Mulumbu's goal was poor defending, but schoolboy goalkeeping coming out feet first........ decent keeper, that's all I can say on him...... one of the "hugely" overrated clan at Villa ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishlad Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Class goalie. The way he has improved coming out and catching crosses is fantastic. He always was a good shot stopper. Have you seen him warm up before the games? What dedication! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
