Micah Richards highlights major weakness in one Tottenham ace’s game; tells him to get more ‘aggressive’
Second-half fightback is not enough as Spurs must address issues for top-four push
Tottenham Hotspur incurred their second consecutive defeat at the weekend when North London turned red at White Hart Lane, and while Ange Postecoglou acknowledged the recent slump, Lilywhites goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has been subject to criticism owing to his bad day at the office on Sunday.
Guglielmo Vicario’s performance is one of the major issues that have emerged after Arsenal’s match. Former Manchester City star Micah Richards has pointed out that the 27-year-old may have a serious weakness that might cause problems at the N17.
On The Rest Is Football podcast, Micah Richards discussed the Italian goalie’s performance. The 35-year-old noted Vicario’s strong performances for Tottenham this season, but he also insisted that the former Udinese player needed to be more aggressive to maintain his position as the team’s top goalie.

“This season, Victorio has been excellent, but he needs to be more aggressive. Push the person in front of you to make room for him. Why he is so kind to me is beyond me.
“It reminds me of the classic goalkeepers from the past, like Peter Schmeichel; even David James, with his bulk and stature, can clear the way if someone is in your way. He cannot get a head on the ball if he cannot see it.
Guglielmo Vicario will undoubtedly learn from this experience, and he should go back to the drawing board and devise a plan to enhance his decision-making in the box when aggressors are closing in on him.
