Scrutiny of Guglielmo Vicario has increased in recent weeks, ranging from mild criticism, to some Spurs fans even calling for the goalkeeper to be dropped in favour of rookie keeper Antonin Kinsky.
At the heart of the complaints is a perception that our number one is conceding 'soft' goals.
However, Vicario's stats this season are actually very impressive.
With only Arsenal's David Raya ahead of him in the save percentage category, Vicario is leading the way in terms of prevented goals.
Last season, I wrote about Vicario often being the difference between a marginal defeat and abject humiliation.
Now, as part of a much-improved Spurs side competing under Thomas Frank, so far this term Vicario has made saves that have either secured all three points instead of one, or helped salvage one point from the brink of having none at all.
Our manager clearly has faith in the Italian â officially naming him in his five-man leadership group.
In an interview with BBC Sport earlier this week, Anthony Taylor described the pressure referees face because of VAR creating an "expectation of perfection".
As fans, we can have similarly unrealistic demands of players â particularly goalkeepers â and this is what exacerbates frustrations when errors inevitably occur.
We all know there is nowhere to hide as a goalkeeper.
Despite sometimes spending large parts of a game with very little to do, when you are called into action, the slightest mistake can lead to a goal.
As such, it takes a special mentality to play in this position, and Vicario's stats suggest he is much stronger than some may think.
While competition for places is always a healthy thing, we are in safe enough hands for now.
