The match between Spurs and Everton ended in a draw, and it was a disappointing result for Spurs as they let in a goal during injury time. Former Spurs player Peter Crouch expressed his concern about the performance of their goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario. Despite his solid start to the season after joining from Empoli, Crouch believes that other Premier League teams may have discovered a weakness in Vicario's game.
The Italian goalkeeper was brought in to fill the void left by former captain Hugo Lloris, and he has been doing well so far. However, his error in the FA Cup match against Manchester City, where he failed to deal with a corner under pressure from Ruben Dias, may have caught the attention of their opponents. Everton, in particular, seemed to target Vicario from set-pieces, especially in the first half.
Their strategy paid off when they found an equaliser from a corner kick delivered by Dwight McNeil. Vicario's attempt to catch the ball resulted in him flapping at it, which allowed Jack Harrison to score. In the second half, Everton switched tactics, but they still managed to score from another set-piece. This time, Jarrad Branthwaite was able to bundle the ball into the net, leaving Vicario in a crumpled heap.
Crouch, who was a pundit for TNT Sports, commented on Vicario's mistake after the game. He believes that it is a weakness in his game and something that other teams can exploit. Despite acknowledging his talent and contribution to the team, Crouch feels that Vicario needs to work on handling crosses and set-pieces better.
His co-pundit, Joe Cole, also had some advice for the young goalkeeper. He suggested that Tottenham could bring in a player to help Vicario clear his path during set-pieces. Cole emphasized the importance of being brave and coming out for crosses, and believes that there are still areas for Vicario to improve on.
In conclusion, while Vicario has been performing well for Spurs, his mistake in the FA Cup match and his struggles with set-pieces have raised some concerns. However, with the support and guidance of his coaches and teammates, he can continue to grow and improve as a goalkeeper.
