Tottenham fans may still have doubts about Guglielmo Vicario, but the numbers suggest he is performing far better than many realise.Tottenham Hotspur can be pleased with their start to life under Thomas Frank this season, as they sit in third place in the Premier League table, with only Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of them.Fans have at times been left frustrated by some displays, but in a transition season, it is not always going to be plain sailing.Spurs finally got back to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Leeds United after consecutive draws in the league, ending a run of failing to win before international breaks that stretched back to 2023.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramTottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario ranks among league’s best despite criticismWhile that was a welcome boost, an all-too-familiar sight of Guglielmo Vicario making an error that proved costly was still on display.But one stat shows that the Tottenham shotstopper is second only to Arsenal’s David Raya in one key metric.The Italian parried Brenden Aaronson’s strike into the path of Noah Okafor, who struck home to bring Leeds level, and many Spurs fans have seen enough, calling for Vicario to be dropped against Aston Villa.However, a key stat from Fbref shows that Vicario has an 82.8% save percentage, which is only behind Arsenal’s David Raya (83.3%), making him one of the best-performing goalkeepers in the league so far.Underlying numbers highlight Vicario’s inconsistency problemVicario has had to make 24 saves already this season, averaging 3.4 per game, which ranks as the fourth-highest of any goalkeeper.However, Spurs have a goals conceded figure of 8.8, showing that they are not allowing many high-quality scoring chances, placing them 14th in the league in that regard.Most of the errors Vicario has made this season have come from shots he should have dealt with comfortably. Ayari beat him from range with a low xG effort that he should have saved. Against Wolves, he failed to parry the ball far enough, and against Leeds it was the same story.The minor details could prove costly in big moments, as these are what separate good goalkeepers from world-class ones, and while Vicario produces top saves in matches, his inconsistency remains a concern.READ MORE: Former scout makes big Tottenham and Man United reveal in Antoine Semenyo raceThe post Key statistic suggests Tottenham fans are being extremely harsh on Guglielmo Vicario appeared first on Spurs Web.
