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.
Spurs fans clear in criticism of Italian goalkeeper Vicario
Others feel like even his reliable qualities are letting him down: ‘The one redeemable part aboutVicario 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.

Who from the squad stays next season when we’re playing Championship football?
Vicario and Kinsky, maybe Danso, Souza and Davies. Bissouma, Odobert and Solanke. Everybody else will want to be straight out the door.
It’s frightening how destructive relegation will be for us.

Was gonna ask if they got these from vicario, but I dont think he had that many to begin with https://t.co/KssAVqzEQL

Vicario takes a free kick on the edge of his area and kicks the ball straight into The Putney end, and yells at players for not making more of it.😂

I think Kinsky is cheeks but I’m finally at the point where Vicario needs dropping. He already needs selling but I acc can’t stand seeing him play for us atm. In fact, we should just play Austin at this point for a moment
