Darren Randolph

It's probably a shame to say it in a way for the service he's had but I can't stand the sight of Given now, can't stand the sight of his perfectly manicured hairstyles trying to cling onto his youth......give it up Shay you've nothing more to offer, what is the point in clinging onto another half dozen caps other than personal greed

also can't stand the fact he retired from the International game to further his club career, then when he found that passing him by decided to waltz back into the National team......it's not like there was a keeping crisis at the time, Forde was acquitting himself very well with younger keepers waiting in the wings

Fine performance against the Germans. I wonder though, would he have been better off staying with Birmingham.

Shay Given insists he'll be fit for the playoffs......is there a nice way of telling him to feck off he's not needed ?

If Given is fit I reckon he will pick him, MON will stick with the old reliables Given , Whelan and maybe Murphy

As I've said before Randolph really needs to change club. Barring a fairly spectacular collapse in form I just cannot see him ever getting in ahead of Adrian who is one of the most consistently strong performers in the Prem.

I really like this guy. Have confidence in him 👍🏻

Very impressed with him. His kicking is fantastic....he always tries to pick out a specific player and often succeeds.

Great bit of goalkeeping in the 2nd half that we couldnt see on tv until the replays. He's very composed for someone who's not a starter for his club and I feel far safer with him there than Given, especially with his kicking. Hopefully his form for us can benefit his club career, even if it may be away from West Ham.

Just played very well in the game , feel so much happier with him other than Given if i am really honest .
