Shay Given

St. Mirren goalkeeper JakAlnwick has praised the impact of Dean Lyness on his performances for the club in the Scottish Premiership this season. Alnwick spoke to the Daily Record about St. Mirren goalkeeper rivalLyness. According to him, Lyness is the best goalkeeperhe has worked with.

Alnwick has high praise for Lyness as the best goalkeeper he has trained with in his career despite the fact that he spent several years at Newcastle United and also worked with a lot of good goalkeepers including Shay Given. The St. Mirren shot stopper was coming through at the Premier League clubwhen he had the opportunity to train regularly with goalkeepers like Shay Given, Tim Krul and Steve Harper.

Samir Nasri has spent the majority of his professional football career outside of his native France. As a matter of fact, he has not played for another French team professionally since leaving Marseille for Arsenal in 2008. The Gunners paid around £12m for Samir Nasri.

French international Samir Nasri played for several local teams at an early age before he joined hometown club Marseille at the age of nine. He was at Marseille for almost a decade before he got the chance to play for the first team and he grabbed it with both hands.

Manchester City are a team on fire this season both domestically and in Europe. Pep Guardiola has injected massive confidence in his players, and they are now playing with so much flair and dominance that has seen them win their last 20 games in a row. Despite the club encountering some minor difficulties on the pitch earlier in the season, they have recovered remarkably and are now the hottest club in Europe this season.

The Etihad club are currently topping the Premier League table and are 12 points better than their local rivals Manchester United who are in second position. Their hot form has also seen them place one foot into the last-8 round of the UEFA Champions League competition after they secured another impressive win, beating German Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach 2-0 the last time out.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson believes the club’s defence has made an improvement this term when compared to the previous campaign. The Cityzens were unable to defend their title last season as they finished 18 points behind Liverpool at the top of the table and they are hoping to produce a much better showing this time around.

They have picked up 15 points after nine games into the season and are six points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur with one match in hand. Speaking in a recent briefing, Ederson said that the defensive displays have improved from last term, but there is still the need for some fine tuning with the arrival of new players.

Former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given has sent a bit of friendly advice to Liverpool understudy goalkeeper Caomhín Kelleher to learn from current number one at Anfield Alison if he wants to become a better goalkeeper or stand a chance of playing for Liverpool.

Kelleher was given the chance to play for Liverpool in recent tunes following an injury to the first-choice goalkeeper and the inconsistencies of the second-choice. He has since impressed his boss Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool fans as they have all heaped praises on the Icelandic goalkeeper. His fine performances have also put him in strong contention to challenge Darren Randolph for the number one shirt for Iceland.

 

Premier League legend Shay Given has disclosed the reason behind his decision to leave Manchester City in the summer of 2011. Shay Given enjoyed a successful Premier League career in the colours of clubs like Newcastle United, Manchester City and Aston Villa.

He spoke to SkyBet about his Manchester City career and what led him to leave the club. According to him, ex-Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini didn’t want him at the club and that prompted his decision to leave the Citizens in search of first team football.

 

Due to the lockdown situation created by the corona virus epidemic, most of the countries are worst hit in terms of economy as well as other parameters.

The number of people who died due to the corona virus epidemic is much lesser than the number of people who died due to hunger as well as depression. In this hard situation, the former football star of the Republic of Ireland has come forward to stand beside his country. He had a long career of 23 years before he took off his boots and goalkeeping gloves. He has saved his teams from conserving goals many times, and now he is up for saving his country against an invisible opponent.

 

Former Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given believes there should be some truth to the speculation linking Jack Grealish with a move to Manchester United this summer. The midfielder has spent his entire career with the Villains but he has been touted to pursue a bigger challenge at the end of the campaign.

United are obviously deemed the favourites to secure his services and Given feels the 24-year-old is good enough to play for the Mancunian giants, he told Stadium Astro: “There’s so much press and media about Jack joining, there’s no smoke without fire. There must be something in the pipeline that he could be joining United. I’ve no clue what the fee’s going to be but I do think he’s good enough to play for a club like United. He wouldn’t look out of place in that team.”

 

Derby County coach Shay Given has said that the team are looking forward to the big games before the close of the regular season. The Rams have been in superb form since the restart with three wins on the bounce and that has brought them to within one point off Cardiff City, who are occupying the final play-off spot.

Still, they have plenty of work to do as they are scheduled to face Nottingham Forest, West Bromwich Albion, Brentford, Cardiff City and Leeds United in five of their remaining six matches. All of these teams are currently in the top six of the Championship and Given insists that the players are relishing the big challenge at hand.

Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is pleased that the Magpies have answered the critics who had expected them to be relegated under Steve Bruce this term. The Tyneside outfit saw high-profile exits in the form of Salomon Rondon, Ayoze Perez and manager Rafael Benitez last summer and that led to suggestions that they may struggle to preserve their Premier League status for more than 12 months.

However, they have managed to prove the critics wrong with 35 points accumulated from 29 games this term and they are currently eight points ahead of the drop zone. In a Youtube live session, Shelvey highlighted that the club have done better than the initial expectations of them and hopefully, they can carry the positives when the season resumes after the coronavirus shutdown.
