its better than us keep playing this useless vicario who cant kick a ball properly if his life depended on it. his poor ability on the ball causes us rhythm and momentum problems too. you ever played with donkeys? its pretty much impossible to get any good football going.
and thats just the kicking ability! this useless clown is a gaffe merchant when it comes to crossing and communication! hes a decent shot stopper, thats it! weak at long rangers too!
decent shot stopper, but actually dreadful at everything else.....why is he actually number 1?
Well do it then
I'll drive you both
We might try and get him in summer, hopefully it will work out.
It seems like you guys want him out, which works great for us.
We’ll crowdfund your petrol!
Vicario would probably love coming too, so it's a win for everyone!
We get a new keeper to substitute old Sommer, Vicario goes where he'd be happy, and you can begin looking for a GK that best suits your needs.
Because the number 2 plays like a number 2.
show us the gaffes that kinsky has made that are soooo bad that its worth persisting with a keeper who cant kick a ball, cant competently deal with crosses, and just makes gaffes a common theme in general.
To belabor the fucking point one last time:
HE DOESN’T STOP SHOTS.
Being good with your feet: Very nice to have
Being able to stop shots: FUCKING ESSENTIAL.
It’s why we don’t put Pedro Porro, who is better than both with his feet, in goal. SMFH.
was timewasting at 1-0 down
As I said a month ago
Your defense is, frankly, horrible and makes it require a goalkeeper with a strong presence in the box.
Part of what will make a GK be great comes from having a defence that will allow him to predict potential attacking chances.
Your defence allows for too much variety of potential attacks, creating unpredictability and making it more difficult for a GK to know what to expect. It's harder for your GK, whoever he is, to lean on built-up knowledge of what potential attacks his defence will conceed.
It would make the very best struggle.
Regardless, he clearly has been underperforming for you, but for your GK to perform with your defence (regardless of who he will be), he will have to be tremendously good ...
Come on. Name 1 professional GK in the world, who is THAT bad at defending corners. He is a good shotstopper, but behaves like a u13 kid at every cross in his box. Every championship GK would improve that issue.
However, can't stand him.
In his defence, some of those blocks I see from corners would be called fouls outside of the EPL (and even in the UCL).
Even then, you are right, he doesn't command them well enough.
It has to do with a mix of Vicario's own limits and his defence's lack of protection.
Sommer is worse at corners and even at crosses, yet our defence protects him so we end up suffering very little from it.
Looked a bargain in his first season until Guardiola stuck someone on him at corners. Everyone copied it and that was that really. I don't think he's ever fully recovered. I'd say it's severely damaged his confidence and indirectly led to the other dumb stuff like against Fulham.
He made a good save at 1-1 I think but that was ruined with whatever he was doing at the corner for Wham's winner. Embarrassing to see him appealing for a foul.
