Saints keeper Gazzaniga puts Norwich nightmare to bed
8:00am Monday 3rd December 2012 in Saints News
By Adam Leitch, Chief Sports Writer
Paulo Gazzaniga makes a save at Anfield.
Paulo Gazzaniga put his Norwich nightmare behind him at Anfield.
The 20-year-old keeper was thrust into the spotlight once more after his midweek howler, his third mistake in four games, cost Saints two points against the Canaries.
However, Nigel Adkins kept faith with his young stopper for the match at Liverpool and was rewarded with some good saves.
Adkins, though, insists the shot stopping has never been an issue.
“He made some good saves,” said Adkins.
“We know he can make saves, it’s the other aspects of a young goalkeeper’s development which is the decision making process when you’re very young and he’s only 20.
Decision making “We have a very young side out there but we allow him to go out there and make saves but the decision making process you are only going to get better on by being in the situation to make those decisions.”

.I have no idea why NA isn't using KD at the moment. There again I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.
I am convinced we will improve and survive in the Premiership. Next season will see an even greater improvement.

If he was a 20 year old left back and the ball went under his foot nobody would bat an eyelid, but because he is in goal it counts.
As the team settles in front of him his confidence will grow.
My money is on him.

We need a top quality keeper. Gazanigga displays the sublime and the ridiculous. We deserve someone more consistent than that. Kelvin is past his best. Boruc is no better and allegedly upset fans.
The least saintly home debut since beelzebub started up front for the smokin' red devils in the afc hades / purgatory utd grudge match derby.

Up to this point in time the site hasn't be bombarded by inane comments from our resident POMPEETROLWUMS.
They achieved their objective of totally dominating the previous disscussion points all weekend.
This could and should have been stopped by the Shhhhhhhhhhhhh campaign.
It has been quite noticable that many of the varied posters on here have declined to post.
Wonder why?
By continuing to acknowledge these people by replying to them creates the tit for tat rubbish that is continually infecting this web site.
The sole intention to deny interested Saints supporters any breathing space.
These people either "support" the now defunct Portsmouth or have no allegence to any team or any aim in life other than disruption.
We are giving them the air that they breath,we have to learn this or our web site will be as bad as the reportedly, Portsmouth one.
Deprive these people.

I didn't see the goal that Gazza let in until Saturday. Beforehand, it sounded as if it was a complete howler, according to the so called "experts". From what I could see, it was a fierce shot, he was possibly a little unsighted and it did take a slight deflection. Over the weekend I saw many other shots not saved, by much more so called experienced and not a lot was said about them. Yes, he is young and inexperienced. Surely some of the responsibility should be shouldered by the rest of the defence. .I have no idea why NA isn't using KD at the moment. There again I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.

Regarding the Goalie situation, Kelvin makes more mistakes so Gazza is our best choice at the moment.

The Players and Manager must know that this means a lot to the fans after last years mugging.
6 POINTS against reading and sunderland and we must all fight for victory.
Agree with Seed that if 4 points up for grabs - then beating sunderland will be really good and help the fight for survival.
fulham tickets will probably make general sale and if not there is always the neutral stand.
Let's change up gear and pick up the pace ... liverpooool was not really good enough in terms of performance - although defensively there is progress.
Being honest - I read the back page of the Echo today and read that the occasion got to the players - it's a sickener as anfield is a shithole and it did not affect any of the fans ....
To be fair to the players 4-5-1 is damage limitation and they are not to blame for that. Lack of composure was a problem ......
LET'S GET BEHIND THE TEAM AND SORT reading OUT and then sunderland ....
NO FEAR !!
NO SURRENDER !!
(no drinking with those plastic wannabe reading fans before the game with their blue army chant ...)
WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON.
RED ARMY. FIGHT AND WIN.
WE RULE THE SOUTH.

Get an experienced keeper in (on loan if necessary) or see how KD gets on, he doesn't become a bad keeper overnight. We'd probably be at least 4 points better off if KD had been in goal for the past couple of home games.

It wasn't a "fierce shot", he wasn't even "possibly a little unsighted" and it did not take "a slight defelection".
It was a massive howler.

Get Gazza out on loan before the lad can do any further damage. He can get the experience in the Championship or div 1. Get an experienced keeper in (on loan if necessary) or see how KD gets on, he doesn't become a bad keeper overnight. We'd probably be at least 4 points better off if KD had been in goal for the past couple of home games.

The 3 keepers NA has played this season have all blundered and let in soft goals so we need a proven premiership keeper to help keep us in the top flight.
Come january i would try for Brad Friedel.There is talk that he is wanted back at Blackburn.If that is a case how about going in for the current Blackburn keeper PAUL ROBINSON.
Talking keepers i see TOMMY FORECAST actually got a start for Gilingham this weekend.They lost 2-0. Oh well we can forget about Tommy then.
Gazza's display on saturday was ok in my book so i expect him to start on saturday unless Nigel feels that so much is at stake in the READING match that he brings back old hand Kelvin D.

Is any Premier League club playing a goalie on the basis of "one for the future"? Nigel, may we have "one for now" please.
And who instructs Gazza to waste time at goal kicks? (some times in the first half!).
Kelvin Davies is brave and one of the main reasons that we gained promotion. Get him back.

Gazzaniga is the worst first team goalkeeper in the Premier League. He is not brave in a 50/50 challenge and his decision making is poor.

As for Butland he's been over-hyped, mainly due to the England goalkeeping coach being the Birmingham coach, so he's been put in the spotlight. It's not as if Butland doesn't make mistakes, for England he ended up kicking the ball straight to the striker, and he also conceded 5!! against Barnsley. Gazza is just as good, if not better than Butland, but didn't get the hype because of the above and not being English.
a goalie for now shay given a goalie for the future butland we need to sort it now!
