Guglielmo Vicario has been criticised for his side’s defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup on Friday night.
Ange Postecoglou’s side now only remain in one competition this season after their loss to the treble winners at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Pep Guardiola has an awful record against Spurs away from home which he put an end to on Friday with his side winning 1-0 after a tense contest.
Nathan Ake was the unlikely hero for Manchester City, scoring an 88th-minute winner to seal progression to the next round of the competition after prodding the ball home from a yard out.
Writing for Tottenham Hotspur News, former club scout Bryan King claimed that goalkeeper Vicario should be held responsible for not dealing with Kevin de Bruyne’s initial corner.
“I am beginning to think Vicario might not be the best goalkeeper in the Premier League as I have previously suggested after all, I mean he was completely responsible for the goal.” He wrote.
“I have said before that Vicario worries me on crosses,”
The Italian goalkeeper signed for the club in the summer and has impressed the majority of fans with his shot-stopping ability.
So all of a sudden, Vicario is not the “best goalie” because he lets in a goal? Give me a break! How do you define “best goalie” anyway? Everyone (including ref and VAR) is ignoring the foul by Diaz who backed into Vicario and knocked him down…..also blocked him……it was the strategy of Man City for corners, and it worked this time.
He’s not the best goalkeeper in prem league at all not even close he’s very weak at crosses but very good shot stopper n good with his feet but crosses he very poor he stands at over 6 ft n big long arms he should be a lot better at crosses it was hardly a push if that pushes a fully grown man down I’m a tranny (guess what I’m not )
Vicario was fouled! Denied by an illeglal block! The goal shoud have been ruled out. It would have been if it had happened at the other end of the pitch. Manchester City know how to cheat. they did it all through the match. Tierney sided with them at all the critical points of the gamel
Mate calm down it was a foul at all he’s very bad at crosses but very good shot stopper n good with ball at feet I would expect a 16 year to stand his ground better keeper are big men n all act like 13 year girls not getting to put make up on
I’d be more inclined to say the blame lies with holberg gives away needlessly time after time
Totally agree! FYI, my previous post on this doesn’t seem to show….
Personally speaking I think it was totally a foul on Vicario, Diaz leant into the goalkeeper as the corner was taking knocking Vicario backwards and onto the ground and further blocking the keeper allowing Ake to tap the ball in. How is that not a foul? I used to understand the rules of the game, but it seems that nowadays individual interpretation takes precedence over concrete evidence, go figure. And if VAR fails to step in as it should then proper decision making is never going to happen. A terrible decision that should have been ruled out, and this still seems to happen on a regular basis throughout the football calender!
No man on near post was the problem
We played against 11 opposing team plus a ref and 3 VAR SHORT SIGHTED !
