I just watched the Club website highlights - it really was a brave, smart piece of keeping. As you say the risk of Baz fouling Conway, conceding a penalty and copping a red card was high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 30 November, 2023 Share Posted 30 November, 2023 He prevented an inevitable goal with his intervention. Doesn't matter to me whether it's called a "save" or something else. It stopped a goal being scored. Simple as that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be so ridiculous, you can only making a “save” if you stop a shot on target going in. In nearly 50 years of watching football I can’t recall one instance where a shot off target was met with cries of “what a fucking save that was” 😂. Baz’s fan club now want to redefine what a save is. The example you gave is good positioning, not a save ffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 30 November, 2023 Share Posted 30 November, 2023 That’s a bit vague. “An act of preventing someone scoring” could also be classified as fouling a striker who is about to score so as to give away a penalty. Ok, so they might score the penalty but it’s not much difference to a keeper making a save then a striker knocking in the rebound. MLG mode off.

The example you gave is good positioning, not a save ffs. Now you’re just being obtuse. Nobody, not even you, can argue that he saved a goal. The word ‘save’ has multiple meanings. Not just the only one in your limited philosophy. And I don’t know about your world but does every sentence have to include an obscene swear word? You need to get out more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 30 November, 2023 Share Posted 30 November, 2023 "saves" "shots" so old school. Surely superceded by tracking the attacker's xEGWCT* against Baz's xROLAHTSA** *Expected Goals when clean through. ** Expected racing out like a hare to stop attacker. ...oh look, my taxi.. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 30 November, 2023 Share Posted 30 November, 2023 (edited) I thought Gordon Banks’ save against Pele was the best I’ve ever seen, but now I’m starting to think this one tops it. How the keeper saved it from there I’ll never know . I was sure it was in, miraculous. Edited 30 November, 2023 by Lord Duckhunter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's assuming a competent ref! If he wiped out the player without touching the ball he may have genuinely attempted to get the ball, but the ref could easily see it otherwise. If so, and the player would have been through on an empty goal, is it a red along with a penalty nowadays? I'm not sure if double jeopardy applies in that case.

SambaMaverick Posted 1 December, 2023 Share Posted 1 December, 2023 Had a brilliant game on Wednesday. I had concerns about him going into the season but I think he's found his level, just about. Still don't think he's among the best in the division but he's got the whole season to prove Martin right and I hope he does, because we're not scoring much at the other end.

SaintTex Posted 1 December, 2023 Share Posted 1 December, 2023 (edited) Bazunu (and the CBs) have really stepped up in recent matches. Last 10 matches - 8 goals allowed oh, what's that you say? We are unbeated in the last 10 matches? It's not a coincidence. Our success or lack of success is going to hinge on our defensive performance this season. * first 8 matches - 19 goals allowed. We went from giving up more than 2 goals a match after the first 8 matches, to giving up less than 1 goal a match in our last 10 matches. Bravo.

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 3 December, 2023 Share Posted 3 December, 2023 For most of this season I've felt that although he's been decent, he hasnt really been tested or made any real high quality saves. But the last couple of games he has been genuinely brilliant. It's great to see him fulfilling his potential and hopefully it continues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserableoldgit Posted 4 December, 2023 Share Posted 4 December, 2023 It pleasing to see him stepping up and putting in the performances, especially with the flack that RM took at the Fans Forum for backing him so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
