Probably a reasonable decision in hindsight. Tbh I thought he was a great keeper at the time, but he probably wasn't as good as I thought, just a good player with serious strengths and serious weaknesses. It was summed up when I was watching Gary Neville's soccerbollocks with Ryan Giggs, Giggs was saying he felt good putting crosses in with Given in goal because he knew he wouldn't come for any of them.
