Realistically, he’s about National League level.

He’s so, so shit.

[SaintsRoyalty]

A competent keeper saves both goals today. I know there is a danger of us over analysing him due his many years of abject failure and even the best keepers have a mistake in them but both goals were right in front of him. I honestly think an outfield player playing in goal would have better reflexes. It doesn’t make a difference that the ball went in off a hand as their striker was there to make contact and a keeper should come out and close him down. He just stood on his line and pulled a dance shape like he’s on a dance floor. The guy is a woeful excuse for a professional footballer.

How anyone can defend Bazunu is absolutely beyond me. 

By definition, contrarians don't need a reason to defend the indefensible....

[gammon cheeks]

4 seasons now and he has not improved at all   

[CheshireSaint]

It's beyond debate now. Defenders of Bazunu are officially fooking mad. Get him out. Simples. 

[saintant]

He started as an outfield player, wasn't good enough so had a go in goal. He's clearly not good enough at that either but continues to steal a living as a professional footballer at our expense. Somebody high up in the club needs to have the balls to say enough is enough because this has gone way beyond a joke.

We have to protect our investment. Fully expect him to be handed a nice new shiny five year contract before the start of next season. The twats running our club think he'll be a £30m keeper one day.

Terrible keeper and terrible defenders too

It's not a good combination.

The buck should stop at ekhart for selecting him. It’s been blatantly clear for at least two years that bazunu is a absolute disaster .

he’s always gonnna be shit but can we make sure hes not doing us damage by playing him

I'm not sure we can blame Tonda. He has a choice between Bazunu or McCarthy neither of who are good enough for the Championship. Either would be ok as back up goalkeeper but they are not what is needed as first choice.

That was my gut feeling ( he should have closed down striker). 

[saintant]

When a cross comes into our box does anyone ever think to themselves, that's ok, Bazunu will come and deal with that? There's more chance of a table football goalkeeper on a rod coming to claim a cross than Bazunu.

That’s the biggest issue, he hasn’t got any better at anything.

Don’t think McCarthy is anywhere near as bad as bazunu tbh he might make an occasional error but can at least make saves .bazunu just doesn’t look like he knows what he’s doing and is constiently terrible.

even will still was starting to see how bad bazunu was and dropped him after a while

The simple shot he let's slip from his grasp is a real shocker and it's something he seems to do on a regular basis.

This is exactly it. And that save wasn’t some superhuman skill, it was him flapping about because of his mistake 

The fact he couldn’t even hold onto a shot that most Sunday league keepers would’ve held, is alarming. Hes just absolute shite. It’s barely believable that he’s playing at this level and absolutely laughable that he’s played in the premier league . His overall goalkeeping attributes, when you look at everything about how he performs, in my mind place him at national league level

There is no comparison between Bazunu and McCarthy IMO. McCarthy is a goalkeeper, Bazunu is a an incredibly limited goalie. Always will be. 

[Mboto Gorge]

Anyone also noticed that since his monumental fuck up at QPR , when he came wandering out to claim a ball he was never going to get and presented their striker with an open goal, he now refuses to come for anything at all. Nothing. Crosses now get whipped into the 6 yard box line and he’s still rooted to his line. He has the presence of a 15 year old kid in goal, and all of the confidence and authority of one too. Hes been the biggest shit stain on this clubs demise under sport republic and yet here he still is, not doing his job properly .

you ask any defender what they want their keeper to do when crosses come in, and they’ll all tell you they want a strong authoritative keeper who will come for as much as he possibly can, and take command. This clown does the exact opposite. I even suspect even he’s a little embarrassed that he’s still our first choice, he knows he’s shit too.

The only way Gav will ever be a £30 million keeper is via the Euro-millions. Better fucking odds too!

Again, every word of this is painfully true.
