Ange Postecoglou sack on the cards as 0% Tottenham ace embroiled in Ridiculous incident Vs Forestm
Tottenham find themselves in deep trouble against Nottingham Forest as they conceded two first-half goals on Monday.
Going into the contest, there was excitement among the fanbase as they made it to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
However, it took only a few minutes to dampen the mood with the visitors scoring in the fifth minute courtesy of Elliot Anderson.
Guglielmo Vicario lets Ange Postecoglou down
Guglielmo Vicario in the Spurs goal was partly to blame for the first goal as well.
Anderson’s speculative effort took a heavy deflection, but the Italian dived in the right direction and had plenty of time to parry it away.
However, his reflexes were put to the test and he failed to stop the ball from finding the back of the net.

Guglielmo Vicario in the Spurs goal was partly to blame for the first goal as well.
Anderson’s speculative effort took a heavy deflection, but the Italian dived in the right direction and had plenty of time to parry it away.The second goal, was definitely his fault as he failed to communicate with his two centre-backs when Anthony Elanga played a cross into the box.
He left his goal-line to try and claim the ball and completely missed it, ensuring Chris Wood could easily head the ball home.
Speaking about this on Sky Sports Premier League, Alan Smith said at 8:19 pm: “It’s ridiculous this – ridiculously easy for Nottingham Forest.
“Chris Wood cannot believe his luck. It’s a car crash from Spurs.”
Postecoglou sack at Tottenham cannot be ruled out as Vicario throws in the towel
Vicario’s performance, reflected in these stats, suggests a lack of commitment and a woeful effort that may indicate he’s not playing for the manager whose sack appears to be set in stone
In the first 45 minutes, the 28-year-old made only one save but conceded a goal due to an error, with a goals-prevented metric of -0.63 highlighting his failure to stop a preventable shot.
His minimal involvement – 11 touches and 10/11 accurate passes – shows a lack of engagement, as he didn’t command his area, evidenced by zero punches, high claims, or successful runs out.
With a 0% accuracy of long balls completed, he failed to contribute to Tottenham’s build-up play.
For a goalkeeper of his calibre, who won the 2024 London Football Awards Goalkeeper of the Year, this display is alarmingly poor.
It suggests a disconnect with the manager’s expectations, potentially Ange Postecoglou’s high-pressing system, raising concerns about Vicario’s focus and alignment with the team’s ambitions.
