Lloris

[JerryGarcia]

Next person to mention bad kicking is going to learn what a kicking really looks like

 

[Jamturk]

I hoped, he hoped the team would dig him out of trouble today.

The team delivered.

 

[Ribble]

Not bothered about him being at fault for both goals today, that can happen. He is still a great shot stopper.

However his kicking is criminal, he is not cut out to be a ball playing Gk.

I'd just like to point out that the last time someone bought a GK purely on their ability to play out from the back they ended up with Claudio Bravo. Be careful what you wish for.

How is laughable? As much as I don't like it de gea,chec are better and a few more are equally as good

Simply cannot agree. De Gea and Cech are not better than Lloris. Cech is the safest out of the 3 but isn't as good a shot stopper. De Gea is incredibly similar to Lloris in that they both make amazing saves but have the odd fluff up in them. De Gea is betternat saving with his feet, he's got a knack of getting those gangly legs in the way, whereas Lloris is better at catching aerial balls. All 3 keepers are top quality and not much to set the apart.

The only keeper better than them in the world is Neuer.

A) Cech is a worse goalkeeper than Lloris. At his peak(2004-2011) he was better than Hugo is now, but right now there's no contest. He's improved Arsenal, but better than Hugo? Not a chance.
B) He's 'nowhere near' De Gea you said. Which is just clearly untrue. They're the best two in the league right now, but any claim that one is nowhere near the other is a bit silly.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

I can't quite believe what I'm reading. Lloris is one of the best players we've ever seen at Spurs, let alone just keepers. There's pointing out valid weaknesses in his game - that's fair enough. But implying he's 'nowhere near' the best in the league just shows an immense lack of understanding of the role of goalkeeper.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Never rated him. Useless French sod

As for that Kane, one of our own. Don't make me laugh

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Lloris is an amazing keeper who we are lucky to have. I think the first goal was unlucky. Second was obviously his error but he hardly makes that kind of error. His distribution isn't always great but I wouldn't swap him for anyone in the Prem.

 

[guiltyparty]

All keepers make rickets. He fucked up today but overall can't be too hard on him, he made more saves today than he messed up

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

How is it laughable? De gea, chec, Chelsea keeper (who's name I forget) schmeichel are better. I'm not saying he is not s good keeper but he is not the best in the league imo. He make wonderful saves but is prone to more mistakes than the the better keeper s imo

You said nowhere near. There's a difference between saying you think one of the above has the edge and saying he's nowhere near.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Actually thought he was very unlucky with the 1st one just headed it the wrong way in that split second he has. Still lucky that it landed so perfectly for the attacker

Hand ball in my book, directly resulted in a goal

Second mistake was obviously a result of him still thinking about the first situation

Still a fantastic keeper. They all make mistakes. Impossible not to

Okay before you edited it your post was acceptable. But he's prone to more mistakes?! Genuinely untrue. Today was the first time a Lloris mistake has cost us a goal in about 3 years. I'd argue considering his playing style his lack of mistakes is one of his best attributes. It's a miracle how rarely he incorrectly judges coming off his line.

Bollocks. name me 5 ge gea mistakes in the last 2 years.
I can certainly name you 5 from lloris. Same for Cech and 1/2 others

 

[BigVic]

Lloris has been class for us not only this season but every season he has been at the club. Im gonna let today slide.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Go on then.

 

[dondo]

Go on then.

Name me 5 mistakes for de gea then smart arse

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

How is it untrue? He cost us 2 today, 1 very important one vs Arsenal at home last season, 2 in the Newcastle game at home last season too. I can remember 1/2 more at the end of last season too but can pinpoint which game it was.
Look
I'm not saying he is a bad keeper, he is clearly not but he is not world class or the best in the league imo

De Gea made 3 mistakes in about 5 matches earlier in the season. He's still a world-class goalkeeper. I can only imagine because you pay more attention to Spurs than you do to other clubs you don't realise that world class keepers still fuck up sometimes. It's the nature of the job. The top ones (Hugo, Neuer, de Gea, Cech and the like) make far less than others. And Lloris is one of the group that makes very few mistakes. If you disagree I suggest you watch more football.

 

[fortworthspur]

for goodness sakes, Lloris is in everybody's top 10 GKs in the world list. he fucked up today, it happens. we are lucky to have him.

 

[fortworthspur]

I watch a fair bit of Man U matches, you will have to refresh my memory because apart from his first season de gea has been vertically faultless from what I have seen

ya, but horizontally he's dodgy.

Can't have been watching closely, I recall a couple of errors against Stoke and Chelsea off the top of my memory.
