Warrior’s goalie butter fingers?

JOHANNESBURG - As Zimbabwe's senior soccer squad intensifies it battle to win the sole ticket to the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations soccer finals in Ghana and Nigeria, it emerged that one of their dependable goalkeepers, Energy Murambadoro is not as reliable as we all believe.
Murambadoro has been de

scribed in the South African Premiership league as one of the five goalkeepers with “worst-to-save-shot” hands.
The former CAPS United goalminder, who is presently plying his trade at Benoni Football Club in South Africa, has been rated among the worst goalkeepers in the SA premiership.
Among the five poor goalkeepers, with the worst save-to-shot popularly known as “butterfinger” comprise Zimbabwe’s Murambadoro, Andre Petim of Ajax, Rowen Fernandez of Kaizer Chiefs, Wayne Roberts and Jason Barnad of Santos Football Clubs respectively.
The Benoni and Zimbabwe international goalkeeper is rated the third worst goalkeeper in the entire premiership after Petim and Roberts. The vote, conducted by the popular monthly magazine, Soccer-Laduma, described five other goalkeepers as the safe hands in the premiership.
They are Lawrence Ncala of AmaZulu, Denis Onyango of SuperSport, Aime Kitenge of Maritzburg, Calvin Marlin of Sundowns and Kakonje Kalilo of Golden Arrows respectively.
Zimbabwe, who badly needs safest hands as the Warriors are battling to sail through to the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations finals scheduled for Ghana, needs good goalkeepers such as young and acrobatic Kundai Mutasa, who is in Qatar and the likes of Tafadzwa Dube of Masvingo United and Lancashire Steel’s Washington Arubi.
Soccer analysts have argued that Murambadoro, was now a spent force in as far as competitive football league is concerned. – CAJ News
