This goalkeeper has done nothing in a Spurs shirt, he&#8217;s been dreadful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And there&#8217;s a clip of him offering out Seamus Coleman. Vicario, we&#8217;ve seen you punch, mate. You can&#8217;t punch the ball. You&#8217;re not gonna be able to punch anybody.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we know you can&#8217;t fight. Have some respect for a Premier League legend in Seamus Coleman. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But that summed up Vicario yesterday. All over the sideline trying to be a coach and jumping on the manager&#8217;s back when they scored the first goal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he&#8217;s an embarrassment to that football club.
