Tottenham fans are demanding one player never plays for the club again after Nottingham Forest humiliation.
Tottenham Hotspur suffered an 18th Premier League loss this season at the hands of Nottingham Forest in North London.
Spurs were left shell-shocked after Elliot Anderson opened the scoring in the fifth minute with a bullet that took a deflection from Rodrigo Bentancur.
Chris Wood soon had the ball in the Tottenham goal, but it was disallowed. However, the officials could do nothing when the New Zealander headed home on 16 after Guglielmo Vicario flapped at the ball.
Besides the error leading to Wood’s goal, Vicario could have done better on the Anderson strike, even though it fizzed past him. The Tottenham goalie did not look sure of himself between the sticks.
Mistakes and poor performances have been a recurring theme for Vicario since he returned from his lengthy lay-off. He came under fire for an equally diabolical performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers last week.
Tottenham cannot achieve much without a reliable goalkeeper. Vicario is not playing his best football, and manager Ange Postecoglou must make a drastic decision before he costs the club more points.
Postecoglou should bench Guglielmo Vicario for Antonin Kinsky – View
Before Vicario returned to the Tottenham starting XI, Antonin Kinsky had quietly impressed during his short run in the team.
The young Czech shot-stopper showed excellent composure, solid reflexes, and a calm command of his area. Tottenham have sorely lacked these qualities in recent weeks.
Kinsky also offers a significant upgrade in terms of distribution. While Vicario often struggles with his decision-making under pressure, frequently launching hopeful clearances or getting caught in possession, Kinsky looks far more comfortable with the ball at his feet.
His passing range is cleaner and more deliberate, helping Tottenham build from the rearguard. It is hard to justify keeping Vicario in the XI. Confidence and form are everything for a goalkeeper, and Vicario, who earns £75,000 a week, is running on empty in both departments.
Kinsky might be young, but he’s earned another shot in the Spurs starting line-up. Postecoglou must act decisively.
