I think it can be safely said that when it comes to players, their positions, their importance to the team, goalkeepers are an afterthought at Southampton Football Club.

Peretz has made a couple of decent saves and seems more vocal to the players surrounding him but frankly on naughty looking crosses and corners coming in under the bar he reminds me of........me when I played!

Just for the record that is not a good thing.

Despite his tendency to punch the ball away instead of catching, he does at least try and deal with crosses. This makes him a huge upgrade on Bazunu in my book.

I thought he delivered several good fistings. Bit of a strange game, though.  They barely got a shot on target.

Not really sure what happened for the goal.

These kind of goals are becoming more and more common. If a team crowds the six yard box and surrounds the keeper a good delivery into the right area causes mayhem. We should be practicing both defending such corners and utilising them ourselves. It's becoming increasingly difficult for even the elite keepers to get to the ball - Peretz managed to punch away a few on Sunday and I wouldn't criticise him too much for their goal.

He looks good to me. Certainly for the championship. He made some great clearances at FP and I don't feel quite as nervous when the ball is played back - the equaliser wasn't his fault it was a messy affair around. 

His drop kicks were very good too.

There seems to be a tactic now of crowding around the keeper to obstruct him to get to the ball.

It's a modern fad. It all relies upon the attackers not being given offside if they jump out of the way at the last moment. Sometimes they get away with it. 

Something needs to change. Perhaps modify the Offside Law (again) so that just being in the goal area and offside constitutes interference?
