Guglielmo Vicario was beaten far too easily for Tottenham Hotspur in their away draw with Liverpool.
Tottenham’s relegation fears remained present despite securing a 1-1 draw away to Liverpool on Sunday, with Vicario once again emerging as a weakness in their fragmented side.
The Italian was somehow beaten by a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick, despite his effort being very central, casting more doubt over whether he is good enough at this level.
Igor Tudor still looks set for the sack at Tottenham, and he may well look to his goalkeepers as a big reason behind it.

Jamie Carragher slams Guglielmo Vicario
Vicario has come in for a lot of criticism this season, and for good reason.
The Italian has managed to save just 62.7 per cent of the shots he has faced in the Premier League, while also having conceded 4.79 more goals than expected.
The latter places him in the bottom 5.9 per cent of Premier League goalkeepers, while his woeful save percentage also has him in the bottom 23.5 per cent.
For context, Szoboszlai’s effort had an xGOT of just 0.02, and yet it still managed to beat Vicario, who palmed the ball into the back of his own net, much to the shock of Carragher.
Via Sky Sports, he said: “Wow, that’s awful. Absolutely shocking from the goalkeeper. Tottenham have got huge problems in goal.”
And after Antonin Kinsky’s mishaps in Tottenham’s heavy Champions League defeat against Atletico Madrid, it’s hard to disagree with the latter part of his statement.
Igor Tudor sack surely still imminent at Tottenham
Many were left baffled that Tudor stayed in charge after such a humbling defeat away to Atletico, and it’s still just as difficult to see him remain in a job.
Spurs’ draw means they are now just one point above West Ham in the relegation zone, with just eight games left to be played.
It’s now four defeats and just one draw from five for the Croatian in charge of the Lilywhites, with 15 goals conceded within that period.
His exit from North London is still surely imminent, or at least it should be if Tottenham want to avoid the prospect of Championship football next season.
