Guglielmo Vicario’s Tottenham future in serious doubt after recent developments
Thomas Frank’s honeymoon at Tottenham appears over after what has unfolded in recent weeks.
Despite a positive start to the season, the Lilywhites are in a rut, having salvaged three draws against Brighton, Wolves, and Bodo/Glimt.
In Spurs’ draw with Wolves, Guglielmo Vicario came in for scrutiny following his parry onto the helpless Joao Palhinha, leading to the away side’s goal.
Now, there is a serious concern that Vicario could end up costing the North London outfit when it matters.
Guglielmo Vicario could stop Tottenham fulfilling greatness
Thomas Frank has recognised Vicario’s mistakes, but has backed his goalkeeper when speaking to the media.
However, the blunders keep on racking up for the 28-year-old, and he is turning into a serious problem for the North London club.
When he arrived at Hotspur Way, the goalkeeper looked a bargain, but his form over the last year has followed a concerning narrative.
Last term, Vicario struggled with set-pieces, and that problem resurfaced when the ball fell to him against Wolves.
- The Italy international made one high claim against Vitor Pereira’s side
- He made two saves inside the box
- Completed 50 per cent of his long balls
Majestic was discussing the shot-stopper on talkSPORT and delivered a damning verdict on his future.
“Again, there’s a man that keeps coming up, Vicario, and I’m sorry, I’m still not having him,” Majestic said on 2 October.
“If we’re gonna go and be a Champions League football club on a regular basis, I don’t think Vicario is a number one.”
Now, Frank’s number one has it all to do to salvage his career in North London.
Thomas Frank needs Guglielmo Vicario upgrade and fast
Vicario has endured a difficult patch for Tottenham and has been blasted by several quarters for his mistakes.
Indeed, if the Lilywhites do want to cement a regular spot in the Champions League, then the goalkeeper is not the solution.
Time and time again, the Italian has been to blame for goals flying in, and there are no signs of him improving anytime soon.
- Vicario has made one error leading to a goal in the Premier League this season
- He has saved 84 per cent of shots on his goal
- The 28-year-old has made three parries
If you look at the top teams in the league, they all have world-class goalkeepers, and it is the one key ingredient that may hamper Tottenham moving forward.
As it stands, Vicario is playing for his future, but all signs point towards a North London goodbye.
