He can’t save a penalty if his life depended on it, and I feel a few goals we’ve shipped in recent games someone more agile may have go to, but for me he’s kept us in games at times and made saves I don’t think Vicario would have.

He’s gone up massively in my estimation.
 
You won't find an old post from me knocking him Larry.
I saw him for Stains and thought I would like him at Spurs. The pelters were based mainly on his terrible penalty display at Fulham but you don't face penalties in every game.
 
Say what you want, him playing like this - im completely fine with keeping him for another season as backup keeper (ideally as 3rd one, but yeah, cannot expect more from 2nd). Because od his size, some of his saves seems simple, but smaller keeper would have to produce very acrobatic save to stop the ball. Also - appreciate that at some point he just went long when needed. Shame that we had Son at CF for long time WHO lost each header.
 
He's had a good run but tonight was a great reminder that the bozo gene is strong in him . Still need that new keeper
Absolute calamity performance, never seen a spurs keeper have a performance like that .

That good save he pulled off came about because he fucked up a basic pass, guess that wasn't sufficient warning to him, and just continued to fuck up over and over

Wow , Never seen such a clownish performance

I agree but we all know that he hates the ball being played back to his feet in tight situations in the area so don’t fucking do it!!!
 
But his lack of footspeed leaves him unable to take command of situations the way Vicario would.

Vic needs to toughen up against traffic in front of him, but he's a top keeper in many other facets.

Thing is Vic is inferior in the air especially at set pieces but better with his feet

They’d make a decent keeper between them!!
