Stoke City's Shay Given: Concedes four in defeat
Given made two saves and conceded four times in Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.
Analysis:
After a fairly successful first appearance of the season, conceding just once and drawing Middlesbrough, the wheels came off quickly and entirely for the Potters, conceding twice in the first half to Sergio Aguero and then, after clawing back into the match, conceding twice more in the closing minutes to Nolito to make the scoreline that much more lopsided. The caretaker of the gloves until Jack Butland's return, the Stoke training staff will work double-time to get the 23-year-old fit for next weekend's clash at Everton.
