Aye, and has been their best player by a mile and probably kept it down to 85 I dead to think the number of goals shipped had Bazunu been their keeper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is/was Russell’s totem for PB based football. It starts with the keeper. Without Baz there would not be the ( largely successful) style weve seen all season. With all the criticism being handed out about him I thought only fair to also identify the positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discounting that free kick he let in against Watford, which was pathetic quite frankly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol why are we making out like bazunu is the only goal keeper capable of passing to his defenders as well .. all this ball at feet stuff is the biggest load of bs I’ve heard since the stuff about elyounoussi being selected all the time for off the ball work (which he wasn’t even that great at anyway Might as well sign a striker who’s good with his chest 🤣 Edited April 20 by pimpin4rizeal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Johansson at Rotherham is decent but seemingly current flavour of the month amongst Saints fans who were probably unaware of his existence before this season and are now stating we should sign him based on having seen him play twice in his career. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like our recruitment is just taking the piss. Wouldn’t disagree with that, but Lumley would still be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s more important the fact that nearly any shot on our goal goes in past bazunu or his silly distribution ? hes been absolutely shocking for 2 years it’s like people try to find anything to argue his cause his job is to keep the bell out of the net and he totally sucks at it https://x.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1781390801810940396 Like it or not, he's a key part of our game. Pretty apt example truth be told - since playing it to baz led to a goal against today's opponents. We play the ball around the back to draw teams on and break - and Macca and Lumley are no where near as good at that as Baz was.

Without that 6 yard pass we'd be in the relegation zone for sure. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 10 hours ago, trousers said: One assumes the quality of Rotherham's defence was a factor in a significant number of those goals. The more important stat is how many goal preventing saves he made. Do we know how he's compares with Bazunu on that measure? (As a percentage of shots on goal, as no doubt he'll have had many more shots to deal with than Bazunu overall) As I have always said, such statistics are meaningless for the reasons that you state. The total number of goals conceded gives a rough indication of goalkeeper quality yet we have people on here saying that if we'd had anyone but Baz we'd be top of the league. As you say, it's the quality of the defence as a whole that is most important and ours is just not good enough. I'd rather they concentrated on keeping their shape and closing down quickly than playing pretty triangles across their goalmouth. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
