LOL... He was a liability!
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.

The same Frankfurt goalie who tore his ACL the day after playing us?
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.
The guy is struggling somewhat, but lets be honest,he is not being helped by the paucity of our so-called vice-captain, and others.
Unlike say Vicario or Kinsky?
He's 21 and has much, much better abilities than our two. Like shots that don't go straight through him for one
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.
I have posted muchly that I rate his shot stopping as top rate the rest of his game not so.
The problem is his last two league games have been extremely dodgy (I understand the deflection but I was shocked he didn't push the first goal round the post)

I agree. I like Vic. He's passionate and a superb shot stopper. Good distribution (needs to go long a bit more though), and getting better with crosses. He's in the top 10 keepers in the PL and good enough. Our problems lie elsewhere.
He's not the style of keeper I like..I think in all honesty so much that's wrong stems from the coaching that I find it hard to assess the individuals. I will say that the fans club and it's reporters (Gold, Pitt-Brooke) seriously over estimate the players. Honestly I don't think we have one world class player on our books. Not one. We have a handful of decent pros. Vicario isn't the kind of character I'd want for number one long term and if good money came in fom inter, I'd take it.
1. Yes there was a deflection but a top keeper saves that
2. You are conveniently ignoring him in no man's land for the second goal
3. Wolves?
The guy is erratic and clearly has errors in him. He is shit with the ball. He is a great shot stopper generally.
Definitely room for improvement. Hopefully Kinksy can develop.
I would say only Romero (on form) is in the world class conversation ability-wise. His inconsistency more or less removes him from that debate however.
Other than that, I agree. We've got used to having at least one world class player in the team for a long time now dating back to Berbatov probably. Sad to see us properly languishing in mid to lower table mediocrity with the likes of Johnson and Richarlison now.
And that's totally damning
