Guglielmo Vicario is ‘not good enough for Tottenham, says Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher (Picture: Getty) Jamie Carragher took aim at Guglielmo Vicario after Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring in Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool, insisting the goalkeeper is simply ‘not good enough’ for the club. But Szoboszlai made the breakthrough for hosts Liverpool in the 18th minute on Merseyside and Vicario could – and perhaps should – have done more to keep out the Hungarian’s 30-yard free-kick.
Fortunately for the Italian, Richarlison equalised late on to seal Spurs their first point under Tudor. ‘We don’t see enough direct free-kicks scored in the Premier League these days but there’s absolutely no doubt that Liverpool have a free-kick specialist,’ ex-Liverpool and England defender Carragher said on Sky Sports’ commentary of the contest.

Wow, that’s awful, absolutely shocking from the goalkeeper. ‘Liverpool find themselves one goal in front thanks to their best player by a million miles this season.’ Spurs must look to upgrade Vicario in the summer, according to Carragher (Picture: Getty) Tudor cut a frustrated figure on the touchline on Merseyside (Picture: Getty) According to Carragher, Tottenham’s ‘huge problems’ between the sticks will need fixing when the transfer window opens for business this summer. ‘The reason the other fella’ [Kinsky] played in midweek was because he [Vicario] is not good enough,’ he added. ‘That’s what it was and then he ends up coming on in the game and it’s been well documented what happened. ‘But Tottenham have got huge problems in goal.’ Andy Robertson doesn’t challenge, it’s a long and hopeful ball. But I can’t say that Tottenham don’t deserve it.
