Warnock hails `evergreen' Friedel
Stephen Warnock has hailed the "fantastic professionalism" of Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel, who could make his 200th successive Barclays Premier League appearance at Everton on Saturday.[LNB]Warnock is better qualified than most to know the qualities of Friedel, having, like the American, also played for Liverpool and Blackburn before making the switch to Villa.[LNB]Friedel surpassed the previous Premier League record of 167 games on the trot by David James last season. And he is now in contention to register his double century at Goodison Park, although his deputy and fellow American Brad Guzan impressed by making four penalty saves during the mid-week Carling Cup win over Sunderland.[LNB]Warnock told Press Association Sport: "To clock up 200 games in a row would be an incredible achievement but we all know that Brad (Friedel) is a quality keeper.[LNB]"You only have to watch him in training and can see his total commitment to being a good and top class professional.[LNB]"He is always striving to get better - even at the age he is. He always wants to do better."
