http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southamptons-paulo-gazzaniga-better-keeper-2879536 disagree how can you proclaim he's a better keeper now than he was? Up till now he's hardly played a game for us in years if he didn't happen to be an Argentinian he'd have been on his way

Sounds harsh but probably correct

What realistically is his level at the moment? I'm thinking he's a league one keeper in the premiership

With a fit and non showboating boruc we could well get a result from this as we've beaten them before, but with the injuries and gazzaniga in goal we will get hammered unfortunately, can't see any other result unless the players out make a miraculous recovery

Agreed I would say KD is the better option of the two even at his age. What's his injury?

How many would choose KD over gazzaniga? Or is that like picking cat **** over dog ****?

It didnt help gazzaniga that Yoshi was picked over the established fonte Lovren partnership what was that?

Yes.. yes I am. unless he really is only being played by mp as a last resort and a better back up keeper is on his way as we speak.

The general concensus is that he's not a great keeper but if mp didn't rate him He wouldn't be here surely?

Do you think mp is already looking at other options? An loan signing ?

Interesting points and something often overlooked! it is definitely true that shot stopping is the best part of borucs game as the other parts distribution and decision making are pretty woefull but it seems the majority of people judge a keeper on those amazing saves. At the end of the day gazzaniga wouldn't be nr a start if it wasnt for the boroc injury and that's worrying as your second keeper should be at nearly the same level as your first choice!

Problem is you can't get away with a championship (at best) quality keeper at this level the other problem is we don't have any choice at the moment as no other like for like replacement. I guess KD was seen as backup for Boruc but really we should have got another quality keeper

#sarcasm?

Agree I can see those Situations causing him problems how do you rate him overall as a keeper?

From what I've seen so far I have to say his distribution seems better than arturs I haven't seen any evidence of any shot stopping so far but maybe that's down to the quality of strike conceded. Do you see our defence continuing to concede goals at the current rate (8 in three games not all gazzanigas) or do you think once he's had a couple more games his confidence will grow? I.e He's young and improving all the time

does the fact weve conceded eight goals in three games worry anyone?

Osvaldo has been much better but not a great deal of note apart from the close range header

so much for our defence that doesnt concede! thats nine conceded in the last three games!

yoshida again ffs!!!!

fook me the boy knows where the net is all is forgiven

two goals conceded both against the run of play both to unforced errors

we really are going to pay the price for **** finishing!

bentekes coming on

they have somone on the bench thats a class apart from our lot, worrying lets hope he stays there

Osvaldo was supposed to offer it too
