Gavin Bazunu

He is unlikely to improve at this point in his career either. Given that we aren't qualifying for this tournament and Randolph will be well on in age for the next Euros then why not invest in the future.  Kelleher is obviously another great talent. Pick between those two and choose the one who is in form (or at least playing)

ya if we learned anything it is Bazunu looks like a real prospect. Unless Kelleher goes out on loan he aint getting many games at Liverpool and Randolph the same stuck on the bench. we cant afford to be playing these guys. Also Bazunu looks good enough to pull off the fact he is only playing at Rochdale currently.

As posters above said his communication and awareness of the game for a 19 year old is very good, perhaps this is down to better coaching at Man City. It also showed the difference of having gametime under the belt compared to Travers, his reflexes seemed that bit sharper . It will be very interesting to see what happens come the summer camp if both Randolph and Kelleher are fit. I'd like to think he's done enough in the last two games to be considered at least 3rd choice.

He was a little rash at times coming out last night but they were close judgement calls - no red flag stuff that we saw from Travers vs Serbia. He's good with the ball at his feet, commands his area well and generally just looks really solid. And perhaps most encouraging of all he appears very vocal - seems to have no issue barking instructions to his far more senior teammates. Let's just hope he continues to develop on his current trajectory because if he's this good at 19 then the future bodes extremely well.

Very impressed with him over the two games. He’s absolutely brimming with confidence which is extremely important for any young player especially a goalkeeper unless they get a bit full of themselves. Fairly eager off the line and trying to be the last man but he has a bright future ahead hopefully.

It was offside but bazunu didn't know, but that reaction save from pretty much point blank was exceptional 

Doesn't lack confidence to come off his line or take the ball anyway, I think he looked great for such a young keeper. Would give you palpatations at times but to be honest if he's learning off Ederson I think we'll need to get used to that. 

Had a great game on a depressing night. Looked confident and composed from the start. Belted out the anthem with pride which was also nice to see.
