GENTLEMAN Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Brilliant save by Guzan (and block by Westy). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neHZobjzy8k 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 For years in USA camp, they have considered Guzan excellent at distribution..... When he throws it. Watch the difference between his throws and his kicks. I said on here last week. His distribution isn't great but he rarely gets any options from our defenders to go short. When he gets the ball the fullbacks push up, whereas if you want to play it short you need them dropping wide as an option or drawing the strikers to open up the centre backs. That doesn't happen for us. Who's fault that is is up for debate. Is it guzan because he never keeps it short so they know there's no point. Is he told to kick it long by management? Do the fullbacks not want it? Against Q.P.R., the ball was almost always rolled out to a defender and passed forward rather than hoofing. I think this would suggest management tell him to take it long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suttonpaul Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 What I do know is if we had 11 players on the pitch of guzans quality and character on the pitch we wouldn't be in trouble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted November 11, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2014 Top 5 saves of the week.... ... Guzan appears twice. (Unsure if video works internationally). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 What I do know is if we had 11 players on the pitch of guzans quality and character on the pitch we wouldn't be in trouble Or even the same squad and a manager of the quality and character of Guzan we'd be a top half side?

Zatman Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 2 great saves last night, surprised not mentioned. No chance for the goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa_shere Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Some great saves and commanded the area well yesterday but his distribution is WOEFUL! Really needs to work on that. Never finding a player and slices it to the left. When we are struggling to keep possession as it is he needs to chip in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted November 25, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2014 Some great saves and commanded the area well yesterday but his distribution is WOEFUL! Really needs to work on that. Never finding a player and slices it to the left. When we are struggling to keep possession as it is he needs to chip in. He does when he can. I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. His distribution isn't great, but he rarely gets an option to keep it short. Last night Okore showed short quite a few times, and nearly every time Guzan used him. I never see our other defenders do that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Seemed to be aiming for Hutton a lot in his kicks so probably a pre arranged tactic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Don't mind him aiming for Hutton if we think that's the best chance we've got of winning a header, what it don't like is him being half a yard from the touch line, like I said it's incredibly easy to defend, slightest nudge and it's going straight out, not a full head on it and it's going out It's limiting the number of places huttons header can go and be a successful flick on, you might as well boot it straight down the middle and focus on the 2nd ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Kicked the ball out of play 3 times in a row on a goal kick last night in the second half Whether this is down to the manager's tactics, Hutton's positioning, Guzan's kicking or some combination of the three, that's unacceptable.

Czechlad Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 ....our best player Easily and that's nothing to be ashamed of. Guzan is a quality keeper and would start for many clubs higher in the table than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I know his distribution isn't great, but I think if it was better then he would be playing for a better club IMO. He commands his box well, comes for crosses, and is a great shot-stopper. I can forgive his average kicking when he makes saves like the one against Mane on Monday night.

Richard Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 If he were in the market now we would easily get 6 or 7M for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Guzan certainly doesn't have many quiet days - the amount of shots that are coming in at him! We should sell him and get the highest amount possible whilst he's playing well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
