If he stayed where he was he'd have saved it. He lost his concentration over a nothing incident. City are big on zonal marking and if somebody puts in a perfect ball then your up the creek.

I think he'll stick with Shay. During the week he was stressing the need for Robbie to find regular football but in the same breath claimed it was 'different for goalkeepers' (paraphrasing).
That guy put in a performance against Villa that was comparable to Shay in his prime. A string of unreal saves.

He was superb against Arsenal as well.

Steve@SkyBet: A late move from Cardiff to land Manchester City 'keeper Shay Given. The Republic of Ireland stopper is now even money favourite (from 33/1) to join Dave Jones' side after a number of large bets.

Fingers crossed he gets a move.

Leicester just signed Ricardo so that spells the end for Shay to Leceister.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Redknapp just said Spurs are signing no one so a spurs move might still be on.
Linked to Arsenal again in the last hour...

Lads......As much as I hate to suggest this as i am huge fan of Shay Given, now that the transfer window is closed and if Shay spends the majority of the remainder of the season on the bench (barring a Injury to Hart) ....should shays position as Ireland number 1 be reconsidered?? ( God I cant believe I have asked that, never thought I would or would have to )( I realise Noely posted a similar comment yday , But now that the windows closed , what do ppl think)

I'd stick with him for the Macedonia game, but if he isn't playing at the start of next season then it's time for a change
If we didnt have a good solid emerging keeper like Westwood then I would say no, but I think if Shay doesnt play much in the next few months, serious consideration will be needed. there is no way he can be as sharp as WW. If it happens i wonder will shay "walk away".
Shay HAS to move this summer, surely he will.
Shay could be Citys undisputed No.1 come next summer - does he still have to move?
Lets be sensible here, the opportunity to move has now gone until the summer, in the meantime Shay just needs to knuckle down, train hard and be ready and waiting to take the opportunity when it comes either through Harts poor form or injury.
If that doesnt happen then the time to re-evaluate the situation will be in May.

Felling a bit cranky tonight, are you? You've had a pop at Shay, Robbie Keane and Richard Dunne in the space of about 5 minutes.at 34 edwin vds was moving to united and about to enjoy probably the best years of his career, at 34 it looks like shays career is winding down

Read into that what you willNever seen #mcfc boss Mancini so angry. Accused Phillips of diving, his players of sleeping, said may drop Hart, just about conceded title
Do you really think that will happen though?? Shay hasnt really been given any chance so far. The only ray of light is that Hart is on a bad run of late and appears to have had another bad game tonight. If Citeh arent getting results due to inadequate defence then maybe Shay will finally be given a chance.
EDIT: Just saw first goal and you'd really expect your keeper to do alot better, just a long free kick and it more or less went the whole way in. Not commanding at all.
