Shay Given Discusses Goalkeeper Pressure and Team Support for Danny Ward

Former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given commented on the booing of Danny Ward by Leicester fans during Sunday’s defeat by Wolves, in an interview with Match of the Day 2. “I’ve been there, it’s a tough and lonely position. A lot goes on in between your ears.” “Ruud [van Nistelrooy] has been super positive by coming out [and defending Ward]. They are in it together. They have to get round Ward in the next few days and support him. I’m sure they have sports psychologists at the club as well. They have to stick together.” “It’s not just the goalkeeper. It is the balance of the team that they have to get right and Ruud will know that.”
