garth Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Notice Jussi made another cock up today, to add to this season's list. He made a brilliant point blank save from Cahill and a couple of other decent stops then lets in one of the softest goals you'll see this season. So did Czech! let in a soft goal even the best do it.

Sparks Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Jaaskelainen is hugely prone to making serious cock-ups and does so on a number of occasions. Given rarely, (today almost accepted) does. I Still think he could have done better on the goal though, he would have saved it had he not taken a step to the left first. At the moment all Shay is going is picking the ball out of the net and making the odd simple save, so he isn't really getting the chance to impress like he has done in the past.

Golfmag Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Good to see some more reasonable assessments. I agree that Given was POSSIBLY at fault for yesterday's goal but having watched Match of the Day, I would not swap him for ANY other keeper in the Premiership. I can't think of any other keeper who makes as few REAL mistakes as Given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leazes.ender Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I said yesterday that Shay is fast becoming a bit of a liability. He's dreadful on free kicks, has poor distribution that has got no better, is weak on commanding his box which isn't helped as he never opens his mouth and cannot come off his line to any great conviction. Add to that he's not comfortable that even if he's out the team he'll be straight back in and has stopped saving shots. Is it any wonder why none of the big clubs who have been desperate for keepers over the last 5 years didn't come in for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Its annoying me how much Given is running off his line these days, alot of the time for no reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Unacceptable performance yesterday, but it's uncanny the way these free-kicks from outside the box are being punished almost every time. We've conceded from so many, you could put them on to a compilation video. Not blaming Shay. They've just been great free-kicks that's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I don't understand why he felt the need to move towards the side the wall was supposed to be protecting, leaving his side open just enough for him to be beaten. Cracking freekick mind, and the fault was in the mindless foul that gave away the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE6 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 He stands too far out and he's tiny. Never a truer word spoken. Expect him to be away in Jan I reckon, if BS is still here. For the record, he's been a different keeper since his injury Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 As for errors, look at the number of times David James gave the ball away from his kicking yesterday, part of the reason why Portsmouth never really got going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Funny how something like this can be so easily dismissed by nearly everyone, yet a few months later, it becomes popular opinion: http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=38908.0 Obviously I can sometimes be right, even if it can be very unpopular.

Sams lost the support of the home fans at the Portsmouth game. He had the away support and Blackburn and Fulham. He has now just lost it away to Wigan now. He needs to go, as i've said from about the Portsmouth game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sittingontheball Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 He's not quite the keeper he was, I fear. I don't think Jussi would be an improvement though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shay Given is no-longer the best keeper in the world and we can't settle with that, can we? you people realize he's only human, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
