Tottenham's fans' booing of Guglielmo Vicario recently became a big topic. Vicario was criticized for making mistakes that should not have been made during the last Fulham match. Vicario came out of the goal at the time and handled the ball. However, Vicario's weakness, underfoot, was the problem. The ball didn't even leave the touchline, and it fell in front of the opponent's striker Joshua King. Harry Wilson's shot at Vicario's empty goal could not be stopped by anyone. Since then, Tottenham fans have complained by booing hard when Vicario catches the ball.
After the game, coach Thomas Frank complained about it. He responded to the booing from the fans, saying, `I don't like the reaction of the fans. Such a reaction is unacceptable. Wouldn't be a real Tottenham fan. It's natural to boo after the game, but you have to be together during the game. That way, we can come from behind to win. It's a really important issue." However, fans again criticized coach Frank's attitude of not accepting boos after the poor result of the game.
Coach Frank's position was also shaken in the lackluster situation. The possibility of Frank's replacement and the names of the replacement candidates were also mentioned. In the end, Frank reversed his attitude of criticizing fans ahead of the upcoming match against Newcastle.

Frank told a pre-Newcastle press conference that `I completely understand the frustration of the fans. There can be frustration if you don't win. It's normal. Not only this year but also because we haven't won at home for a long time. The frustration is growing. We are nothing without fans. That's the case with any club. Tottenham are nothing without fantastic fans. We need each other."
He also soothed the public sentiment of his fans who were angry at his remarks. He said he wanted to make a `fortress.' To do that, the fans, the team, me, and everyone have to be together. My role is to do my best to perform well"He defended himself because he wanted to strengthen the team's power at his home stadium."

Frank, on the other hand, also mentioned Vicario himself. He said "Vicario said he was fine. He is a player who can overcome such setbacks well. It may be a bigger blow to other players. The goalkeeper can make mistakes, and how he handles them has a big impact on whether he will be a good player."
