Why Ange Postecoglou can't pick Antonin Kinsky over Guglielmo Vicario in Tottenham goal vs Frankfurt

Guglielmo Vicario will be determined to deliver a big performance against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday evening following his woes at Wolves last weekend. The goalkeeper had a game to forget as Ange Postecoglou's side slipped to a 4-2 defeat at Molineux.

All four goals were completely avoidable as well, . For Wolves' first of the afternoon, Vicario punched Jean-Ricner Bellegarde's free-kick rather than trying to collect it and Ait-Nouri duly found the bottom corner with a volley from the edge of the box.

The Italian was lucky not to concede a second goal not long after as Wolves almost took advantage of a poor pass from the goalkeeper. Spurs breathed a huge sigh of relief after Jorgen Strand Larsen put the ball the wrong side of the post after it was worked to him in a central position a matter of yards from goal.

As bad as Wolves' first goal of the afternoon was from a Spurs perspective, the second one was even worse as Vicario palmed a bouncing ball into the chest of and it duly rolled into the goal. There was nothing the left-back could do about it but his teammate, on the other hand, really should have dealt with it better.

Further goals were to follow from Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha, with Vicario rather helpless for both following Cristian Romero and Lucas Bergvall errors. , Postecoglou was asked about the goalkeeper and made it clear that he has full confidence in him heading into Thursday's must-win game in Frankfurt.

"Yeah, 100% confidence," said the Australian. "Obviously we made some individual errors today which was a bit unusual for us, fair to say. They all happened in one game and unfortunately we got punished from it."

display was a big talking point amongst fans after the game and so was his place in the team for the Europa League encounter against Eintracht Frankfurt. name did come up but .

That is because he was one of the names left out of Tottenham's 25-man Europa League playing squad when it came to submitting the list for the second half of the season to UEFA at the beginning of February. Only able to name 23 players rather than 25 on List A as they only have two of the required four club-trained players, teams were only allowed to make three changes to their squad from the first stage of the competition.

Spence, Kevin Danso and were the trio to come in as they replaced Fraser Forster, Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner. Kinsky missed out on the cut as Tottenham had plenty of choice in goal already with Vicario, Brandon Austin and Alfie Whiteman as options.

The Lilywhites also have academy goalkeeper Aaron Maguire as further cover in goal after recently adding the 20-year-old to List B for the Europa League. Kinsky may potentially have to wait some time to play for Tottenham in Europe as their participation in UEFA club competition next season all hinges on Spurs winning the Europa League final come May.

side are currently in 15th and 11 points behind Brighton & Hove Albion in tenth, meaning a European finish via the league is pretty much off the cards with only six games remaining in the season. Amid Vicario's previous showing and Kinsky's ineligibility in Europe, it would be between Austin, Whiteman and Maguire if the boss was to consider a change in goal on Thursday evening.
