Lighthouse Posted March 26 Posted March 26 5 hours ago, Sunnyside Saint said: When did Baz ever win us points with his performance? I cant recall any instances of it. You need a keeper to pull off a save to keep you in a game when you're under the cosh, also that kind of action can change the teams belief or the momentum of a game. We've seen it with Peretz, Baz is a million miles off. Wrexham at home, big save when 1-0 down. Leicester at home, when 1-0 up Millwall at home, kept it at 0-0 Brum away, I think we were 1-0 down when he pulled off a worldie 1 8

Preemptive strike, before several of them return to the bench? 🙂

The one where his positioning was so bad he managed to get lobbed by a wafty header from outside the six yard box? Edited March 27 by Midfield_General

HKsaint Posted Wednesday at 15:37 Posted Wednesday at 15:37 I said already. We will be stuck with Baz for the next season. We will bring us to where he belongs.

Midfield_General Posted yesterday at 13:33 Posted yesterday at 13:33 Interview with Peretz: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/apr/04/southamptons-daniel-peretz-we-have-a-lot-of-respect-for-arsenal-but-we-are-not-afraid Talks about playing with Neuer and Kane, and how him and his Mrs are apparently the Israeli Posh and Becks 2
saintant Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago (edited) Come on guys...this bloke was outstanding tonight. He was as cool as a cucumber and played a blinder. Praise where praise is due. Or are we just getting a bit blase about him 🙂 Edited 23 hours ago by saintant 5
St Chalet Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago As a Saints fan of 40+ years we've been blessed with the likes of Shilton and Niemi. We've been dogged with the likes of a few other that I am classier to name. Peretz has been a breath of fresh air, like Artur Boruc, right time - right keeper. 16

I think he's better than this level and if we don't go up he won't stay, which is fair enough.

benjii Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago He's absolutely huge part of this run we're on. Big personality and you can see the defenders trust him. He improves Manning, THB, Bree etc. by being there. 15

Absolutely - I said this before but it shows the value of a decent goalkeeper a) balling them out for mistakes/good play and being vocal and b) the confidence they have knowing they have a goalie more likely to make a save behind them. Fkn paper hands offered neither of those things. 3
Tamesaint Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago I have seen the headlines from a parallel universe about last night's game. Baz was in goal and the headlines were how unlucky Saints were to lose 3 2. 2
ally_uk Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago Think he is brilliant 👏 should make him a high priority signing in the summer. 1
Lord Duckhunter Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago (edited) It’s not just the back 4 he’s imposed himself on, it’s the whole team. The corner at the end summed it up for me, he was into their half shouting at us to keep it in the corner, as it genuinely looked like we were going to cross it into the middle. We actually might well have done as the attempt to hold the ball there lasted all of about 3 seconds 😂, but that’s beside the point. Baz would have stood there ghost like, whilst he’s involved with every aspect of the game. Class act… Edited 12 hours ago by Lord Duckhunter 2

pimpin4rizeal Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Think you could argue he’s been our player of the season even in such a short space of time. The difference it makes having him on goal over bazunu is just mental . All this good run we are having just wouldn’t happen without peretz
EFL Saints Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Happy Easter and congratulations on the Arsenal victory! I've written an article about how recent goalkeeping changes have affected the teams that were significantly underperforming/overperforming their expected goals statistics in the first half of the Championship season. Dropping it in this thread as Daniel Peretz features heavily. https://open.substack.com/pub/jacobpowley/p/the-xg-chickens-are-coming-home-to?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web Hope you enjoy it and please subscribe to the blog if you do - I usually write about the Championship with a bit of extra EFL stuff thrown in. Enjoy the rest of the cup run and fingers crossed it will mean a bit of rotation when my team (Ipswich) come down to St Mary's in a few weeks 😉 Edited 8 hours ago by EFL Saints
