Bazunu is now statistically the worst keeper in the championship, following last season where he was one of the worst in Europe.

I seriously don’t know what the club see in him. Shocking goalkeeper, one of the worst I’ve ever seen at saints. What was he doing today
Remember when Adams lobbed Ederson from 40 yards? Keepers that play out from the back tend to come off their lines a lot. It was just a cracking finish today, much like Che's was.

Except nothing alike because we were set up defensively at the time and the ball was very much in our half
 
But we had the ball and gave it away cheaply. Baz is going to be off his line to make himself available for the pass.
Think that is a problem, goalies are being used as extra outfield defenders rather than the last line of defence. Old fashioned I know but I prefer the goalkeeper to stay on his line occasionally advancing for a one to one. Bav has decent long range distribution, all this fannying about with the ball in our own half, including including him being used to recycle the ball is unnecessarily negative.
 
I’ve not previously commented on Bazunu but my impression is he’s a bit like doing everything by rote, rather than instinct.
I have never felt that he is a “natural” goal keeper.
He will, at times, make some good saves because of his training and repetition but I think we could do better.

He’s turd. People defend him because he is young and we want to support him etc.

But he is genuinely an awful keeper and one of the big reasons we are a poor side. We can’t play this propaganda Russ-ball football with him because every shot we concede goes in

The players in front of him not clearing the ball or giving it away doesn't help. Baz would have 2 or 3 more clean sheets this season if it weren't for that.

Ipswich, Boro and Leeds off the top of my head. Arguably QPR.
