Oh, there’s no question it’s mostly on Vic.
vicario probably doesnt even realise hes given him a shit ball lol, i doubt he even understands it all.
Frank isn’t going to drop him which shows how weak he is.
He's about par for a Premier League goalkeeper in that respect, not a single thing he saves is a matter of "nobody else could have done that".Oh, there’s no question it’s mostly on Vic.
Look at the bullying from corners debacle, the PSG and Fulham goals, the Brighton first goal earlier this season etc etc etc. he’s constantly beaten by distance shots despite the occasional worldie he pulls off. He’s a decent shot stopper and reaction saves at times but in the whole shit at everything else.
They guy is a fucking liability. He is just unfortunately the best of what we have.
Disagree with the 90's keeper he would let in even more goals he has had the odd amazing game but most weeks he only top ability which is shot stopping looks better because of his abysmal foot work. The there is the fact he has no depth perception as a keeper if people told me he had weak vision in one eye I would not be suprised. His tenure as Spurs has made Lloris's ten years at Spurs into proper percpective. I think he is probably one of the Bottom 3 first choice Keepers in the league.
true, 90s had more long range shots, which he does seem to struggle with.
I would be surprised, as I assume he has well-advanced and serious issues with both eyes.
Exactly, The best option Vic had was to go to VDV. The next best option was to go long. The next best option - actually maybe not the next best, and a bit risky, but an option that shouldn't have been calamitous - was to go to Gray's LHS, where Gray was signalling. The worst option, the one he chose, was to tuck Gray up with a slow bobbling pass and an opponent up his arse
I reckon the more pressing issue is the lack of a key component behind his eyes...
Romero is as big and issue as Vicario but its even more complicated. Honestly Id sell him. A less able but more reliable player will make us better. Magain for Vicario, Tabsoba for Romero, Alex Scott for Bentancur. Antonee Robinson for effectively Porro. Think these are achievable patches till we know what the hell we do next.
Apart from Vicario making Two Mistakes against Forest. A mistake against Fulham, maybe two because he stand still on his line for Fulham's first. He was even poor against Newcastle's first and to top it off I think he actually makes other players panic.
Let's go from the start.
VDV didn't do anything wrong tbh. The vast bulk of the fuck up was on Vic. Romero's play might have been uninspired, but it wasn't dangerous. Gray was slightly at fault, but again, it's really on Vic.
