Guest Douga Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Nobody can queston his shot stopping. But his distrubution( kicking) is awful. He takes too long on the ball and never comes out for crosses. Butn he still keeps us in games with his shot stopping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 His distribution is poor but it always has been. Still wouldn't swap him for many in the game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 A lot of people mention this and I have to say yesterday his kicking was very poor, but fkn hell I am happy we have a keeper that the only complaint we can have is about his kicking. He does get some very poor back passes to deal with though aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Huntington a fans favourite??? Please Well someone most will stick up for.

Guest Douga Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 If Huntingtron has a career like Babas he would have done well for himself. Lets just see how it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Givens one of the best on the planet, if we didnt have him i'd hate to imagine how many points would havebeen lost over the years. Once he has a stable defence i'd imagine his distribution would change somewhat and start playing it to the hopefully decent right and left backs i'd hope to have by next season/January. Nobby included as 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Still wouldn't swap him for many in the game! Buffon, Cech and Casillas are the only keepers I'd take ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 the sad fact of the matter is that if we had a half decent defence who were able to pass the ball out of defence (see: arse, chelsea, mancs...) we wouldn't need a keeper who knows his only half option is to "lump it" :roll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knightrider Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Knowing Shay's perfectionism and game intelligence, I think it's more a tactic than a weakness and/or an innate distrust in the distribution/ball retention skills of those in front of him, the defence. By all accounts Shay is very comfortable on the ball and practices a lot his kicking, throwing and general distribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Strange smell of oats round here. unsure.gif Thought there was something up when someone brings up one of my famous criticisms. As I see it, his kicking is better with Souness and Shearer gone but could still be much much better. It isa problem for all British - lack of technique coaching from a young age. I'm hoping Krul learnt quite a bit in Holland before he came here. Regardless, Given's replacement should be foreign (hopefully Krul) as I believe that a good foreign keeper is better than a good British keeper these days.

It is a tactic to kick the ball straight out of play for a throw in to the other team? Sorry but his kicking is shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
