Shay Given could become Tim Sherwood’s No.1 choice at Villa Park.
New Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood is contemplating whether or not to make Shay Given his No.1 choice at Villa Park.
Villa are currently embroiled in a relegation fight and Sherwood watched his new side lose 2-1 at home to Stoke City on Saturday.
A terrible defensive error from Dutch international Ron Vlaar resulted in the concession of a penalty which cost Villa a point.
Given starred for Villa in their FA cup victory over Leicester City and pulled off a number of top-class saves.
Sherwood feels he needs more experienced players to help the younger players adapt to the current situation they find themselves in.
Given is one of the most experienced players in the Premier League and his presence could improve Villa’s shaky defence.
Current No.1 Brad Guzan has enjoyed a solid enough campaign for the Villa but according to reports in The Birmingham Mail Sherwood is contemplating re-installing Given as his No.1.
