Baz would’ve saved that

For the level, he’s got to be one of the worst managers I’ve ever seen. One predictable philosophy that never works, no adaptability, lots of errors, basically no clue - yet somehow he keeps finding a job. Incredible.

Rangers supporters hate him with a passion - nothing like the comfy tea club he got away with at Saints

I’ve never seen that, score a winner and the whole crowd tell the manager to gtfo.

Considering the money involved, it’s mad. Championship or not, it’s still a massive financial level, you’d think the absolute bare minimum would be not fielding donkeys in goal.

McCarthy has his howlers, but as a shot-stopper he’s acceptable at this level. Bazunu’s good with the ball at his feet, but his shot-stopping is honestly non-league. McCarthy edges it for me.

He really is shit, but yet the better option. Tells you everything you need to know about the state of this club.

He can play, but surely not as GK?

Have to correct you there, he 'only' has the 2nd lowest shot/save % (for now).

Please stop playing him, it’s pure sabotage. Every season he’s played for us, he’s been the worst GK in the league.

"Southampton had more errors leading to goals than anyone else at (10) and more mistakes leading to shots than any other side (26) Saints faced 108 shots on target - the most in the Premier League" What never gets mentioned is that during RM's PL tenure, we had the 2nd-highest possession %, with Jan Bednarek - a centre-back and two-time 9–0 veteran - clocking up the 2nd-most possession in the league

Nostalgic. I miss it.

Says a lot about how low the bar is when people prefer McCarthy to Bazunu. In this league, the only keepers worse than McCarthy are Baz and Danny Ward.

This one is spot on to the above. 😂 Jeez, he’s got to be one of the worst managers ever when you factor in the level and money involved, surely?

Football fans know his ‘philosophy’ all too well. When Leicester were linked with him, their fans called out his one-dimensional suicideball straight away, they didn't want him. Rangers fans didn't want him. He nearly threw away our promotion because his sides couldn’t defend to save their lives, and that was with the second-biggest budget in the league. Which really makes you wonder: what game is he talking behind closed doors that keeps getting him employed?

As bad a manager as you’ll ever see. Proof that watching peak Pep-ball on YouTube doesn’t qualify you to run a professional side. What a complete fraud.

No different now. McCarthy will still clown around and drop the odd howler, but at least he makes the routine saves. Still a better option than the league’s worst shot-stopper.

McCarthy’s a bit of a circus act in goal, but I’d still have him ahead of Baz almost every time

Still early days, but we all know where he'll end on the charts. Bazunu - Premier League 2022/2023 shot stopping (xG), ranked 39 out of 39. (worst -xG on record) Bazunu - Championship 2023/2024 shot stopping (xG), ranked 46 out of 46. (on track to worst -xG on record, before injury)

All we’re doing is lowering his value by continuing to play him. Baz ranked as the worst shot-stopper in 22/23 and 23/24, and I’d wager he’ll manage the hat-trick this season.

Committed to his philosophy no matter the cost. In theory you’d think it should work for Rangers in a weak Scottish league, but RM’s such a shit tactician it doesn’t. Let this be a warning to the suicideball disciples: parroting peak tiki-taka and outdated Pep-ball off YouTube clips doesn’t qualify you to manage a football team.

Bednarek been part of two 0-9 defeats. Quite an accomplishment.

Take it from Saints fans Tuchel, we know shit football when we see it.

Would love for us to sign Nuno Mendez, what a player!
