Player Guglielmo Vicario

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

People are crazy. Vic has been really good for us. Today he made a slight mistake but there was a big deflection changing the height of the ball. Ball was spinning and he didn't quite get it right. But wtf, going on like he's a terrible goalie because he doesn't save a largely deflected shot. Madness.

Then look at the half-wit Romero and the mistakes he makes. He's supposedly the world best CB because Messi said so. Vicario is miles better than Romero. There are not many better keepers, but you'll find better defenders than Romero in the championship.

To be fair to Vicario, isn't he up there in terms of stopping goals v expected goals conceded (or something along those lines)?

I.e. he's basically put in the firing line constantly because of our suicideball. Another victim of the system, and between him and young Kinsky I think we can put aside any goalkeeper search for this summer.

This is true.

Vicario has his own set of lowlights. But a fair few of them stem from how we play.

Take Forest's second goal last night. Vic has to rush out to try and get the ball because Romero started ball watching and stopped following Wood, who moved into open space.

Vic isn't flawless. But some of his errors are literally forced upon him.

Last night's second, whatever happened our defenders, the goalkeeper never got within 18 inches of the height of the cross which made it easy for Wood.

The again, this is a keeper who has conceded goals from corners 3 yards out in the middle of the 6 yard box while rooted to his line.
 
He steps up when needed - we saw the difference when he was out.
All keepers make mistakes - he has made very few and not when it matters.
Has saved us in multiple games including Frankfurt away
