Bazunu has been excellent for Ireland but I think a little overhyped because of his age. Even when being MOTM against Serbia, he made two near catastrophic errors - misjudging a free from the touchline that had him beaten only to hit the crossbar and rushing off his line but not getting the ball only for McClean to bail him out.

Agreed but no goalkeeper is going to be mistake free over 90 mins when the team is second best. Lot of talk of Bazumu and Kelleher but we can't totally rule out Travers. Yes I know he seems to lack confidence but he's already playing at a higher level than Bazunu and is also a fantastic reaction keeper.

Travers particularly needs a run of games, for his confidence if nothing else. He definitely has talent and potential but I'm not sure he's ready yet mentally for the top level. He looked terrified in Belgrade and his performance suffered as a result. Still, he's young and has time on his side.

Hugo Lloris does this every game and he is the French world cup winning captain. If you genuinely can't see how good he is - regardless of his age then football isn't for you

I remember Duff talking about when he was at Chelsea, and Cech arrived. At the time they had Cudicini who looked like a top keeper and there were question marks about why they'd sign Cech. The Cech arrived and he was a different level altogether. Shots that Cudicini was making dramatic saes out for corners, Cech was holding and relieving the pressure, clean sheets built and they beame proper contenders. I feel that's what Bazunu needs to develop into to properly compete for the Man City number 1 spot. No doubt he can stop shots, he needs to develop into the all-round reliable keeper to get that spot.

I can never understand the instant expectation from some ireland fans.
Why Kenny hasn't made us a good team yet Why isn't Bazunu the final product yet Why isn't Parrott scoring lots of goals yet.

Well that is a proportionate response to my post. Thanks for letting me know football isn't for me. I might try hockey so. Thanks again.

He was on Liverpool pre season tours by then, and playing for the PL2 team, which he can still do. Already with a European Cup winners medal, he made his competitive debut in 2019 in the League Cup at MK Dons, and kept a clean sheet. A month later, he saved a penalty in the League Cup at home v Arsenal. Last year, he got to play 2 European Cup games, and now he's one step away from No. 1 at Liverpool. Bazunu is not even ahead of Scott Carson in the pecking order at City.

At Bazunu's age, Kelleher wasn't even ahead of Adrian at times over the last few seasons.
But that's irrelevant to where the both are now. One is playing games week in, week out. The other isn't, regardless of the level.

You can look at it either way really, yes Bazunu is playing regularly in League One, but Kelleher is training daily at an elite level with perhaps the best goalkeeper in the world and against some of the top attacking players in the League.
Bazunu hasnt let anyone down, so he deserves to retain the jersey for now, but I have no doubt that Kelleher will have no problem stepping in if and when required. I think both are excellent prospects and have very high ceilings, luck and timing will play a role in who emerges on top e.g. if Alisson gets injured for a significant period and Kelleher steps in and does well, is anyone suggesting that he wouldnt then move into pole position for the jersey? If we had an outfield player making the bench regularly for City or LFC we'd be delighted, so just enjoy the fact that we look well sorted in this position for years to come and let's not forget that in Travers we have a 22yo starting regularly in the Championship also.

Samed YeĹil was training everyday with the Liverpool squad and now he works in a factory. He's 27. Means SFA.
Many similar situations to this. |

Was Yesil 2nd choice keeper to a Top 3 in the world keeper at a time Liverpool were one of the top clubs in Europe? Have a look around at the other "Top 6" back up if you will?? Arsenal (Ramsdale Leno) Chelsea (Kepa) Man City (Steffen) Tottenham (Atlantas 1st choice keeper) Man Utd (Henderson) It's decent company Evertons back up is Begovic. Last year Evertons back up was Sweden's 1st choice keeper Olsen. Leicesters is Wales 1st choice keeper. West Hams is Areola a keeper with a huge CV. The PL is so competitive even nowadays these clubs are looking for a quality back up. That Klopp has Kelleher tells you how highly he rates him and it's certainly not as a factory worker!!

Not really the same thing though is it? Anyway I dont get this attitude that in order to big up Bazunu, we need to have a dig at Kelleher. He's 2nd choice GK at one of the biggest clubs in the world on merit at 22, its pretty f**king impressive tbh. He looks an excellent keeper to me (and to Klopp who I'd imagine is a fair judge), as does Bazunu. I'm happy to let the rivalry play out. We have two outstanding young keepers and a pretty promising 3rd choice also, let's just leave it at that.
