Vicario Will Get Blame But £45m Tottenham Star was Dreadful v Wolves..
Tottenham Hotspur’s 4-2 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers will see Guglielmo Vicario take the majority of the criticism for his shaky performance, one which saw Spurs lose their 17th game from just 32 attempts in the Premier League this season – but his defensive partner in crime, Cristian Romero, should be equally to blame for another horror show.
Wolves went 1-0 up inside three minutes via a Rayan Ait-Nouri effort, and from there, Tottenham couldn’t draw themselves level at any point throughout the game, despite a cat-and-mouse clash between the bottom-half sides.

Dreadful defending, own goals and a Wolves onslaught saw Romero struggle, with some poor awareness for Wolves’ second and an even bigger mess for Wolves’ third consigning his side to defeat.

That led journalist Alasdair Gold to give the Argentine a score of 3/10 in his Football London ratings at Molineux. He wrote:
“Both he and Davies were nowhere to be seen when the deflected cross bounced into the Spurs box for the second goal. Made an utter mess for Wolves’ third, gifting Ait-Nouri the ball with a lacklustre attempt to control it. It was his saved header that was nodded in by Richarlison. Another leader who just wasn’t good enough on the day. 3(/10)”
Romero has been linked with the likes of Real Madrid in the past, but performances such as this one in the Black Country will be a deterrent to the Champions League holders – especially at a fee of around £45million.
The result going against Ange Postecoglou’s men doesn’t mean much on paper, with Tottenham already a while away from qualifying for Europe in the league, but the precedent it sets heading to Germany in the Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt next week is huge, as their clash at the Bundesliga outfit is essentially an all-or-nothing clash in terms of their season and potentially Postecoglou’s job.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Cristian Romero has 42 caps for Argentina, scoring three goals.
Romero has shown his quality on the international stage by winning the World Cup with Argentina, and in Europe in the past with Tottenham, so he needs to get back to his best and quickly before it’s too late for the north London outfit.
Guglielmo Vicario surpasses Ederson to top key Premier League chart..
Recent data shows that Tottenham Hotspur’s Guglielmo Vicario tops Manchester City’s Ederson in Premier League passing stats this season.
Tottenham Hotspur have endured a dismal campaign, yet a few of their players have stood out individually.
Just recently, it was revealed that no player covers more ground in the Premier League than Dejan Kulusevski, while Micky van de Ven boasts the league’s highest recorded speed.
Despite these standout stats, Spurs remain firmly lodged in the bottom half of the table, highlighting their collective struggles.
Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario leads the way in passing accuracy
WhoScored has now revealed another fascinating statistic, with yet another Tottenham player leading the charts.
No goalkeeper in the Premier League who has attempted 500 or more passes this season has a better pass success rate than Spurs’ Guglielmo Vicario.
The Italian shot-stopper boasts an 88.8% pass success rate, placing him at the top of the list. Manchester City’s Ederson follows with 85.4%, while Liverpool’s Alisson records 81.5%.
