He’s done very well to be fair to him. I always doubted the point in an experienced third choice keeper, but maybe he is showing that he’s a very good option for our no.2 spot.

Reminds me a bit of a keeper on FIFA, especially with the black gloves. Thankfully has a bit more agility than they do on that game

Been a big fan of Gazzaniga for quite some time, but he was a bit prone to errors when he spent a season at Vallecano, and was always a bit shaky for Southampton.

As good as Southampton are at churning out good players from nowhere, they do also seem to have a habit of ruining goalkeepers a little, so wouldn't be too concerned. It's possible that it is a coaching issue, and he has stronger, less-coachable attributes that make him a very good prospect imo. Seems to be a good lad though, by all accounts, and obviously is committed and patient - he's waited a while for a chance, and has taken it with both hands so far.

Not sure if Gazzaniga will ever be good enough to be a No 1. But have to say I will always favour a giant ( 6 4” +) over say the agility of a Pickford. Ok lloris is an acception but it still bothers me he can’t really dominate his area from crosses and it’s always a bit flappy. But I’ve no doubt courtois saves that Sturridge shot. The amount of goals you see where the keeper just can’t get there. I think the extra 2-4 inches outweigh agility.

Should have kept his place. Reward good performances.

This becomes more and more relevant. Dropping a keeper after saving 2 penalties is like dropping a player who just scored a hat trick. It should never be done.

He deserves a chance at this stage. Lloris has dropped too many clangers this season and it is costing us badly. Vorm has no future.

Give gazzaniga a chance, because he has seized every one so far.

I don't want wanother Kyle walker-peters situation of fringe players tearing up trees and then being relegated into obscurity.
