Spurs fans' booing of Vicario sparks shock and concern, with many left wondering why some supporters would turn on their own players. Chris Sutton, a renowned football expert and former player, has weighed in on the issue, leaving fans frustrated.
Sutton, who sits on BBC's Monday Night Club alongside Rory Smith, questioned the reasoning behind booing goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario during Tottenham Hotspur's match against Fulham. The former England striker expressed his astonishment at the decision to vent their frustrations towards the player in such a manner.
"This is just bizarre," Sutton said. "These fans are supposed to be supporting their team, not turning on individual players when things don't go right."
Fans have taken to social media to defend Vicario, who has been struggling in goal for Spurs this season. They argue that booing him would only serve to increase the pressure and create a toxic atmosphere at the stadium.
Sutton's comments highlight the growing concern among football fans regarding fan behavior, particularly when it comes to players on the receiving end of verbal abuse. The former player emphasized the importance of showing support for one another, both on and off the pitch.
As Tottenham continues to navigate its challenging season, Vicario will undoubtedly face intense scrutiny from fans and pundits alike. With Sutton's words ringing in their ears, Spurs supporters may be forced to re-examine their behavior and consider a more constructive approach when dealing with setbacks.

, seriously boo the player not his parents or something 
. like vicario might get some goals next game and suddenly it's all good? booing just adds to the pressure and creates an toxic atm at the stadium - what a genius move 
. fans should be supporting each other, not turning on one individual who's probably having a bad day anyway 
. anyway, spurs need to sort out their goalkeeping issues and not make the rest of us look like complete muppets

#BooingIsNotTheAnswer 
. I mean, come on fans! You're supposed to be cheering each other on, not turning on one of your own players when things get tough 
#SupportEachOther 
. It's like, we all go through ups and downs, even the goalies 
! Guglielmo Vicario is just doing his best, and he deserves our support, not our scorn 
#VicarioDeservesBetter 
. I feel bad for him, and I'm sure many other players have been in his shoes before 
#PlayersUnite 
. Let's focus on lifting each other up, rather than tearing each other down 
#PositiveVibesOnly 
.
. It's like they're taking it out on someone who's already feeling the pressure. I get why Sutton is saying what he is – we need to support our players, especially when things aren't going well 
. It's not that hard to be supportive and still hold people accountable for their performances 
.
. Chris Sutton makes a great point - we're supposed to be supporting our team and players, not tearing them apart when things don't go right 
. And can we talk about the pressure Vicario is under? Booing him just gonna make it worse for him 
. I think some fans need to take a step back, breathe, and remember that sportsmanship matters 
.
. And what's even crazier is that some fans are defending the booing by saying it'll only make things worse 
. Maybe Spurs fans should take Chris Sutton's words to heart and try being more supportive of each other 
vicario's definitely having a tough season, but that doesn't mean he deserves to be booed off the pitch 
... like, what's next? booing our own teammates for not scoring enough goals? 
... we're all in this together, after all! 
Fans need to learn that we're all on this team together, for better or worse. Supporting each other makes the game way more enjoyable, not less! 
no thanks!
