‘Let’s continue with Bruce Bvuma’ – Ex-Kaizer Chiefs defender

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Dominic Isaacs has urged Amakhosi to stick with Bruce Bvuma in goals in their next matches

The retired defender feels Bvuma has done well compared to Fiacre Ntwari and Brandon Petersen. The 29-year-old has conceded 11 goals in 10 matches he played.

“Some of the goals they conceded can’t be blamed on the goalkeeper; he is helpless in certain situations,” Isaacs told KickOff.

Bvuma has been Kaizer Chiefs best keeper this season

“Yes, a goalkeeper is crucial to the team, and you cannot fault him. He brings calmness and confidence to the defence,” Isaacs added.

“A good goalkeeper encourages his teammates, keeps everything composed at the back, and communicates effectively. When there’s a cross, he comes out and punches the ball, guiding his defenders by telling them, ‘Man on, man coming from the blindside, step up, drop back a little,’ and so on.”

Kaizer Chiefs parted ways with long-serving keeper Itumeleng Khune last season, and many thought either Bvuma or Petersen would take over. Amakhosi instead bought Ntwari from TS Galaxy, making him their number one goalkeeper.

The Rwandan international conceded 11 goals in seven matches before injury kept him out for a few matches. Bvuma has since done a decent job in the 10 matches he played for Kaizer Chiefs this season.

“I’m not sure what the competition among goalkeepers at Chiefs is like, but they started with Fiacre Ntwari from TS Galaxy, then moved to Brandon, who didn’t hold the position for long, and now they have Bvuma. Yet, nothing seems to be changing,” Isaacs said.

“It’s hard to determine who their best goalkeeper is — one game the entire team performs well, and the next, their performance dips. Ultimately, when the team excels, the goalkeeper will also do well.

“Therefore, let’s continue with Bruce Bvuma and see how it goes,” the ex-Kaizer Chiefs defender added.

“He may have conceded four goals against SuperSport, but the whole team underperformed. They were too open against SuperSport, who capitalized on a very good day.”

Is Bvuma the best option in goals?
