'Go back into retirement!' - Tottenham fans fume over Michel Vorm's mistake vs Norwich

Michel Vorm's mistake against Norwich City has prompted a massive reaction from Tottenham Hotspur supporters.

With his last appearance for the Lilywhites coming in October 2018 during the 2-2 draw against PSV in the Champions League, his inclusion in goal was very much a surprise decision by Jose Mourinho.

One which backfired.

The hosts were leading their FA Cup fifth round tie until Norwich finally equalised thanks to Josip Drmic as Vorm could not hold Kenny McLean’s effort and the frontman bundled the ball home.

It's safe to say many Spurs fans are fuming with the Dutch goalkeeper.

Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Mourinho stated that he is expecting another tough game from the Canaries following their previous two league meetings.

"Very hard. It was very hard," he said. "I think if in the first game at Norwich we were very unlucky to not win that match. I think in the match at home we were very lucky to win that match. They played so, so well and it was very difficult for us.

"So I expect another difficult game. I feel amazing, beautiful that on a Wednesday 9,000 supporters are coming from Norwich, amazing, beautiful. That's the FA Cup. 9,000 supporters midweek.

"If we went away midweek to Norwich I'm pretty sure we would take every ticket possible with our fans too. That's the beauty of the FA Cup. So I think a very good game.

"I repeat what I said after the game we played here. That's not a team to be where they are. They are fighting to stay in the division and I like their team and I think it's going to be a very difficult match for us."
