Reply | Who should be our regular first team keeper ?

Nice stats. You don't mention anything about 'how' each of them plays the position.
Because you have no idea what makes a good keeper.
McCarthy is an excellent shot-stopper, capable but not great at crosses, and poor at decision-making with the ball at his feet (he should never be played a ball under pressure because he does not see the pitch like an outfield player and takes too long to pick an outlet).
Bazunu is a poor shot-stopper who has terrible footwork, is too deep in his goal, doesn't cut the angles down, is purely reactionary, and can't read the game, but his distribution is OK. Good. Play him at centre-back then. |

As I've noted before, his footwork is terrible.
He's not on the balls of his feet for the first and dives from a flat-footed position, and no hop to the right to generate power and width on the dive.
On the third, he doesn't have his feet set when the ball arrives at the far post, so can only flail at the weak shot as it goes by.
He will never be a decent keeper.
He plays goal like an outfield player pressed into action due to an emergency. |

Winning the title in a 2-team league is hardly a sign of managerial acumen. |
