While Tottenham's star goalkeeper Gurimovicario is out with an injury, 36-year-old Fischakos has a new challenge. His performance in the last eight of the EFL Cup was a disaster, with two consecutive errors putting the team in a difficult position. Despite the team's narrow 4-3 win over Manchester United, Fischakos' poor performance was too much for the fans to bear, who took to Instagram to leave angry comments and even called for the former England international to retire and close his account to seek peace and quiet.
At one point in the match, Tottenham were leading United 3-0, but a mistake by Fraser Cosby allowed Nandis to be "misdirected" in his own box, and then Joshua Shukes capitalized on the opportunity to score an easy goal. Then, a mistake by Kossi allowed Amit Diarlo to score a goal, bringing the score to 2-3 and almost killing the team's good game. At this point, Gurimovicario, who was sitting on the bench, became agitated and doubted the performance of Fraser Koss.
The attacks on the internet came in a tidal wave, with some fans even teasing, "You'll retire tomorrow." Under the pressure of public opinion, Fischakos had to close his social accounts. The fiasco has dealt a heavy blow to his confidence. Tottenham's goal will be tested like never before next Monday when they host Liverpool in a crucial Premier League match. Given that Gurlimovicario is sidelined until at least February next year, Tottenham may look to bring in a new goalkeeper in next month's transfer window.
