Ange must instantly axe Spurs dud who dropped a 2/10

Sadly for the Tottenham Hotspur trustworthy, final night time was a return to what has grow to be their new regular this season.

Ange Postecoglou’s aspect performed host to Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest within the Premier League and located themselves two objectives down inside 20 minutes.

Now, Richarlison did handle to tug one again late on and, in all honesty, they created sufficient possibilities to show the sport round, however in the long run, they fell to their 18th league defeat of the marketing campaign and their eighth at residence.

In all, it was simply one other disappointing night time for the North Londoners, one during which many of the starters let themselves down, together with one ace who ought to most likely be dropped after yet one more surprising exhibiting.

Spurs’ poor performers

So, earlier than we get to the participant in query, it appears solely honest to go over a few of the different Spurs gamers who let the supervisor and followers down final night time, beginning with Cristian Romero.

After his sensational exhibiting towards Eintracht Frankfurt final week, there was some hope that he’d carry that into the remainder of his appearances this season, nevertheless it was in a short time evident that wasn’t going to be the case towards Forest.

Not solely did the World Cup winner look decided to get himself despatched off, however he additionally misplaced observe of Chris Wooden for the striker’s headed purpose, making the 4/10 match ranking he acquired from Alasdair Gold greater than honest, and his substitution at half-time the proper name.

Nonetheless, the Argentine wasn’t the one dire defender, because it was additionally a primary 45 to neglect for the often spectacular Micky van de Ven.

Like his defensive companion, the Flying Dutchman got here off second finest for the Difficult Timber’ second purpose as he misplaced the aerial duel with the free-scoring Kiwi and positively warranted the 5/10 ranking he acquired from Gold.

Nonetheless, as poor as the 2 centre-backs had been, one other member of the again 5 was even worse and will, due to this fact, most likely be dropped forward of the sport towards Liverpool on Sunday.

The Spurs star who needs to be axed

So, although there have been a variety of different starters who additionally endured a torrid time final night time, equivalent to Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski and Pape Matar Sarr, when it got here right down to it, the worst performer for the hosts was Guglielmo Vicario.

It actually was an evening to neglect for the Italian shot-stopper, as he most likely might have achieved higher for Elliot Anderson’s opening strike after which positively ought to have achieved much better for Wooden’s header.

In actual fact, had the previous Empoli star not come speeding off his line to fly into skinny air, there’s a actual likelihood that he would have been in a position to both parry the ball out of hazard or even perhaps maintain onto it. As a substitute, he gave the in-form ahead virtually an open web at which to goal.

Unsurprisingly, Gold was left unimpressed and awarded the 28-year-old a 3/10 match ranking, which was greater than justified by his stats, as in 95 minutes of motion he made a single save, prevented -0.60 objectives, made one error resulting in a purpose, made simply 18 passes and failed in 100% of his lengthy balls.

Now, if this show was a one-off, then suggesting he be dropped forward of the sport on Sunday can be unjust, nevertheless it’s not the one time he is didn’t carry out in current weeks, as he placed on yet one more horror present away to Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month.

In actual fact, that match noticed Gold justifiably award him a 2/10 match ranking, as he additionally made an error that led on to a shot and, on prime of that, managed to forestall -1.05 objectives.

In the end, Vicario is likely to be a greater keeper than Antonín Kinský, however in the meanwhile, he’s a legal responsibility, so Postecoglou needs to be daring and drop him from the beginning lineup for the following recreation.

In any other case, it could possibly be a 3rd shambolic league efficiency on the bounce for the “unbelievable” Italian ace, because the legendary Gianluigi Buffon as soon as described him.
