Player Guglielmo Vicario

He should be, it's the thing Vic actually excels at and the minimum requirement of actually being a goalkeeper...
Vicario couldn't catch a cold ...
I know what you mean but man - Vic is the last one i would trust to catch the ball. He can parry it or make a save but he has no clue how to catch the ball
Compared to Kinsky who has long covid i know who I'd rather.

I wasn't being literal was using a figure of speech, I meant saving the ball actually.
Anyway slate gets wiped for everyone now, players return back to default settings...strongest team on paper on the pitch please.
Don't think Romero/VDV would necessarily give a shit about Vicario being dropped. They probably think he's shit.
The issue is Kinksy is no good either so Tudor doesnt really have a viable alternative.
I still don't know what Austin did to get a new contract. He must have known where Levy's skeletons were buried or something. Whatever it was, it doesn't seem to have had much to do with football.
I have a feeling we play without goalie for some time.
So if Kinsky is not able to drop Vicario based on pure football stuff that happens during training - then he should not be here anymore.
Really hope he is not that shit on daily basis and it was just Frank having no balls to drop Vic.
He is there to make up the numbers in the CL squad and to make saves in training. No other reason.
I agree that Vicario is the best we have right now
But his catching is terrible
He’s got more chance of stopping the ball going into the net somehow, than the hapless Kinksy. He can’t make a save, let alone catch
Worst pair in the PL for sure
Vicario is a decent keeper but not for the premier league. At one stage I thought he was the least of our worries but the guys confidence is shot . He couldn’t catch a cold at the moment . I’ve no idea if kinsky is ready but there’s a conversation to be had .
Let's look at shot-stopping statistically
Which, granted, doesn't include passing and claiming crosses.
(source: theanalyst.com)
Vicario has the 3rd highest XGot in the EPL.
That's the likelihood that a shot on target will convert into a goal.
Basically, Tottenham's defence is the third worst team in the EPL at conceeding shot on targets that will result in a goal.
Let's associate XGot for some GKs with Prevented Goals
XGot and Prevented goals
Vicario 36.7; -0.2 prevented goals
Pickford 34.3; 5.3 prevented goals
Donnarumma 22.8; 2.8 prevented goals
Alisson 22.4; -2.6 prevented goals
Raya 15.8; -2.2 prevented goals
Statistically, despite facing more difficult shots, Vicario (at shotstopping) performed better than Raya and Alisson.
At -0.2 prevented goals, his contribution to shotstopping has been neutral, despite some crucifying from fans.
And despite Tottenham giving Vicario the 3rd worst difficult shots in the League.

More to a GK than shot stopping stats. He makes good saves no doubt but he’s jumpy, erratic and his kicking and distribution is dreadful. I like a calm keeper - with his claiming and kicking.
yes, I can't disagree.
Don't necessarily disagree but must admit I'm struggling to keep up with all these transfers we'll be making in summer if we listen to and obey the wishes of the TFC intelligentsia...
Vic, Kinski, Romero, Porro, Spence, Udogie, Bentancur, Bissouma, Gray, Tel, Richarlison, Dragusin, Odobert, Solanke.
Lange and Vinai best get started soon... Wait - they're also out the door

Half of the players you mentioned will not be sold.
Only Biss, Richie, and Dragusin are likely to go from your list
I'll bet with you right now more will go than that. I know for a fact theres more going.
