Probably should have stayed on his line for the second but you can't take anything away from an excellent cross and run. I'd be more critical of that #17 at 58 seconds in.

You mean our first signing of this upcoming summer? He will certainly fit into whatever metric we are using to make decisions on attackers.

Another masterclass in the art of goalkeeping 

Inability to stick the ball in the net was my take on that match , Baz is diving but not appearing to see the ball trajectory so missing it , Diving for show ?

What’s that now - 2 games and three errors? Second one is as much about the excellent cross and gambling run by the forward (remember when Lambert or Ings used to do that?) but the first one is pure Baz. Low, not well struck, even for him couldn’t believe that went in. How he doesn’t get that away to the side of the goal or behind for a corner is astonishing at professional level and we saw it so many times for Saints.

Pay 50% of his contract up in the summer and move on. Lumley is better than that for back up.

How about the first that was hit with so little power from 12 yards out that despite it being hit upwards it dropped and bounced before it went in and he still couldn't get to it in time?

This is never going to happen. We signed him on a deal upto £12m. He has 2 years left on his contract. It makes no sense for either club or player to agree to your suggestion.

1) Why would he agree to forfeit millions of pounds in contracted wages?

2) His value isn't £0, why would the club let go a player they signed for a fee rising to £12m go on a free transfer? Even if you don't think he is any good, his value is still in the millions.

3) How many examples can you name of other clubs doing similar to other relatively big money young players with 2 years left on their contracts? It just doesn't happen... and for good reason.

My Nan could have got closer to that goal.  Dreadful.

Your nan is Peter Shilton though. 🙂

For me, another one of those where the reaction time just isn't quite there to be instinctive. As others have pointed out, there does seem to be a lot of those.

Agree with that but with 2 years left on his contract he's not going to attract many 'millions' in transfer fees.

Moving to the PL so early did for him. He really needed time in the Championship, to develop the areas of his game that didn't match his distribution.

He's short on confidence and experience now. Certainly needs to move to reboot his career.

I think he will, there is a good goalkeeper in there in my opinion, but our fans have turned on him now. I can't see a way back at Saints.

You mean the one ten yards out seen through a crowd of legs? This determination from a number of people to hate Bazunu is a bit weird, especially compared to a fair few goals Ramsdale seems to get off scot free for. The guy is just back from a nine-month injury, he's gone to Liege to get some match practice and sharpness.

Nothing in that specific match to criticise him about.  Great that he’s fit. 

It's all opinions but the first goal was poor ( albeit typical)  and the second would have been taken by a dominant keeper, which he isn't. He's played two games for Liege and you wonder how many more will there be.

If the club is serious about turning the club then there's a lot of work to be done across the squad but we can't have another season with this guy as number 1.

I look at it slightly differently, but agree with the premise: he's not a goalkeeper.

100% agree with this.

I see this time and again on here, people forget players are assets to the club, people act like we aren't trying to run a profitable business but want us to spend lots of money.

Must be Man City accountants.

It’s because he’s fucking shit and we are all getting pissed off at the club signing (and extending the contracts of) fucking shit players

It's the same criticism as I've always had of Bazunu, you can rarely pinpoint at a critical horrendous error, but he just doesn't make saves and you're always thinking ''could he have done better there?'' There are no games you come away from thinking that the GK has won that for us. Any shot at the centre of goal goes in.

It's just like having an outfield player in goal who can use the football.

He will cost us shed loads of goals if he plays for us next season, guaranteed.
