90s keeper. modern football requires them to actually be able to pass a ball around at the back, hes got clown feet. even his simple passes to his CB's cause problems as hes just not a clean kicker of the ball, them slight imperfections cause big problems in football.
He was £17m. That's all levy needed to know lol
There was a point last night
Play down our left
We're getting pressed, so naturally getting deeper and deeper
Ball is played to Vicario as an out from the situation
Porro is on the right, unmarked, with half the pitch to himself, waving his arms
Vicario plays it out to him, slightly ahead so he can run onto it, Porro runs forward whips in a cross from deep and Tel does a back post Brennan classic, and we are winning the game.....
....no, no, that wasnt it
I remember now
Porro is on the right, unmarked, with half the pitch to himself, waving his arms
Vicario boots it over Spences head on the left touchline straight out of play. He didnt even look to see if there were any passes on
"Any word from Milan boss?"
"Fuck off mate even Millwall wouldn't have you!"
i know, porro had a go at him, problem is, its pointless having a go at him, hes just not capable. hes dreadful with his feet and for some reason we keep giving it to him to expose himself more and more and damage us.
hes not going to have the composure in them situations cos hes panicking that hes got to kick the ball in the first place lol.
Defended him a lot in the past but he's having a poor season. His passing is hurting us and we're conceding a lot of long shots under Frank, which seem to be another weakness of his.
He's one of the best at saving those close-range 'unsaveable' reaction shots but his positioning seems to let him down a bit when players shoot from distance.
Not at the top of our list of priority positions to fix, but definitely rising. If we can get our money back from Italy in the summer and bring in someone better we should.

This was EXACLTY the knock Brentford fans had on Raya before he left for Scum.
I think the available evidence proves the problem isn't the "keeper" it's the managers willingness to allow unpressured shots from outside the box.
That's interesting - and while Vicario had his issues under Ange I don't really recall long shots being one of them.
Obviously Frank and the braintrust feel like it's OK to allow a certain number of low % shots as they're unlikely to go in, but if teams actively realise you're allowing shots from range, they're going to set up accordingly and suddenly the percentages aren't so low. That's certainly what appears to be happening (or we're just extremely unlucky, which I doubt).
Not to slate the guy, but we would be higher up the table if he had genuine competition.
So tired of him. Also this narrative about him being a worldly of a shot stopper is just wrong! He used to be, but I firmly believe that ankle break has taken that away from him! Doesn’t pull off hardly any decent saves these days.
I think we could get decent cash for him so I think if we can find a decent replacement we should move him on the minute the window opens

We should be chucking money at Mike Maignan now for the summer on an bosman and then let Vic go at the end of the season. How much would we get for Vic, £25m? If we gave half of that to MM as a signing on (possibly spread across a contract) we’d still be up financially and would have upgraded our keeper to one who can play out
Same old Same old Same old Same old Same old Same old
As usual, weak at corners.
But what irks me most about this guy is he always takes years to make a pass. And he thinks its a great strategy. Terrible keeper
