Tottenham Hotspur fans rage at struggling Vicario: ‘Makes Heurelho Gomes look like Pat Jennings’ | OneFootball

Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has been the topic of much criticism today after a dismal display in Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 defeat to Fulham in the Premier League.

The former Empoli shot-stopper made a series of errors in his distribution which attracted viral attention on social media.

Spurs fans did not hold back in their criticism of the Italian, with some even going so far as to ask: ‘Is Vicario the worst number one we’ve had in the modern era?’

One fan replied ‘He makes Heurelho Gomes look like Pat Jennings,’ in reference to the club’s former Brazilian goalkeeper and the legendary Northern Irish number one.

Others feel like even his reliable qualities are letting him down: ‘The one redeemable part about Vicario used to be his shot stopping which isn’t that great anymore.’

His poor distribution did not go unnoticed, with some fans bringing up the stats behind his woeful afternoon in London.
