Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Frank Makua has expressed his dissatisfaction with Amakhosi goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma.
The 29-year-old keeper has faced a lot of criticism from fans, having conceded ‘soft goals’ in recent matches. Against Orlando Pirates this past weekend, Bvuma was blamed for Relebohile Mofokeng’s goal, which won the game for the Buccaneers.
Amakhosi lost the derby 2-1 this past weekend, but have another opportunity to avenge their loss in the Nedbank Cup on Saturday. Makua feels Bvuma was to blame for both Pirates goals during the Soweto Derby.
“We lost concentration. Even with the second goal, Bvuma should have done better,” said the Kaizer Chiefs legend.
“Mofokeng scored with his weaker foot, and there was no power in that shot. Bvuma is leaking goals.
“Very soon, he will be 30, so we need to accept that he has not met expectations. I don’t understand if the training he is getting is inadequate or if he simply doesn’t want to learn. Being in one place for too long sometimes makes you take things for granted,” Makua said as per Afrik-Foot.
Kaizer Chiefs legend questions Bvuma
“You’ve been with the club for such a long time and still make basic errors like Bvuma does. We’re talking about an experienced goalkeeper here. How many derbies had he played before Saturday’s match?.
“The goals he concedes often suggest he has issues with concentration, especially when his defence is not providing enough protection,” Makua added.
“I’m more worried about the type of training Bvuma is receiving at Kaizer Chiefs because everything you do on match-day reflects what you practice in training.”
Bvuma is expected to be in goals when Kaizer Chiefs face Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final on Saturday at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
