Player Guglielmo Vicario

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He really is Gomes 2.0, capable of some wonder saves, but totally undoes it with these moments of utter clownishness.

You need a keeper that the players trust, it totally fucks the rest of the defence and the team as a whole if they don’t trust him.

My team up here, Dundee United, are going through a similar situation with our Ukrainian keeper. He’s capable of some brilliant saves, he can’t deal with cross balls or set pieces and punches every ball he comes for, he’s scored 3 own goals in 12 games, 2 of which were corners that he punched into his own net. It’s affecting the whole team, and the players have just lost all faith in him, and he’s clearly making them nervous as a whole. Vicario, I think is doing the same thing.

yep, it affects the outfield players massively having a clown like that in goal, not just from him having clown moments, but his passing out is such a poor standard, its a fight for them to get it under control properly in the first place.


dont wanna see him again, hes not good enough, its simple as that. would rather kinsky, at least he can kick a ball properly. a keeper that can actually pass a ball properly will help change the dynamic massively.
 
Good shot stopper but fucking dogshit at everything else.

The type of goalkeeper that instils zero confidence in his defence. Has an aneurysm whenever someone makes the slightest mistake yet points the finger at anyone else when he has one of his trademark brainfarts.

Austin looked calm and can ping a ball
 
He has always been erratic, but gone full Gomes this season.

Highs, Monaco immediately comes to mind, were as extreme as ever; but so were lows like today. Even without his blunders, he also indirectly places additional burdens on others as they need to work extra hard around his weaknesses.
  • His non-existent ball playing ability puts CBs he passes the buck to under great pressure at all times for example. Since teams don't consider him a threat on the ball, they simply apply some token pressure to him before running at those defenders at full force.
  • Similar story with set pieces: He can barely claim a cross rising from a crowd, so the others are naturally under greater pressure. More so with this leaguewide set piece mania.
Not being the biggest issue on a team sitting 10th with 18 points after 13 games is hardly a flex.
 
Like a lot of our players, he doesn't seem to be improving. He's a decent shot stopper but the rest of his game needs work. Particular commanding his area and kicking.

And again one of these weaknesses has cost us a goal and ultimately points.
