Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[wrd]

Think that's why we have signed Gazzaniga

I didn't think he was too highly rated though was he? he struggled at Southampton and had a little spell at Gillingham and he's quite old now to be considered a prospect. I always felt he was just seen as a safe pair of hands for the 3rd spot. Which I believe he still is if we could get a prospect in the middle.

I think we need to improve our scouting, Roma is a great example of good scouting finding Alisson for a price of 8 Million, it's rare but that's what we should be aspiring to given the financial restraint.

He's 26 years old which is still considered young for a keeper. I would assume we're keeping him around for a reason, if he isn't highly rated by the coaching staff then why is he still at Spurs?

The trouble is that prospects need to play to improve, it's the same thing with outfield players, so unless we're gonna totally ship Lloris off and rely on a prospect to improve whilst we put up with his shortcomings, can't see that happening.

We need a ready made replacement to replace Lloris if we are looking to improve.

Or you could rotate. Which we seem to have forgotten about. Gazza should be able to handle himself at least in home games against mid-table or worse sides where we're aiming to dominate the ball and not allow much pressure anyway. Equally we should be fine in those games with a couple of younger players - Foyth, Walker-Peters, Skipp etc - but we're loath to do so.

That's not realistic, there's a reason why no-one rotates their keepers for small matches or against mid table teams.

Only time when keepers and bench players come in is in cup matches.

 

[AnotherSpursFan]

Even Degea makes shit load of mistakes in World Cup and PL yet a lot of people still sucking up to him

Why? How much are you guys paid to unsettle the team?

 

[kaz Hirai]

He's only 31 still, gonna be our keeper for sometime yet.

I appreciate that even though he's making some mistakes hes still refusing to be a Brad friedel type sticking to the line.
Doubt he's lost much acceleration at 31, just his judgement seems out lately.
Think he was just over excited and energised, nervous by the occasion having just come back and maybe wanting to show his class in what was the most glamorous game of the week in Europe probably

Our best goalie since the likes of Jennings and Clemence. He has been fantastic at Spurs, seeing him come do the sweeper keeper stuff and wonder saves through the years has been a breath of fresh air, but slowly hes having more blunders every season.

We never like to admit it, but it is unfortunately happeninng more and more. The big profile games he has done it so many times as well.

That's why if you read rival forums they dont rate him as highly as their own goalkeepers

We have had declining players as captains before and that makes for a sticky situation. Poch has got to figure this one out

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

He has bailed us out of trouble a lot more times than he has cost us. I'd personally always back him.

THIS

Some of you can’t help yourselves with the premature comments. And we won’t hear from you when he pulls off World class saves to keep us matches. Remember his performance in the Bernenebeu last season?

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

He worries me. Gazza should be in.

Not for me. Eric the Viking!!!

 

[slartibartfast]

Cant see why some are getting their knickers in a twist jumping to his defense.
Nobody is saying he has been shit or is shit but if you think you can drop absolute howlers like that in such a huge game without it being commented on I think you're kidding yourself.
He IS making more and more costly errors.
We as a team look most in danger of conceding when he has the ball in his hands imo. My asshole nips up everytime we have the ball and it goes back to the keeper or he's going to distribute.
You shouldn't be vulnerable when you have the ball!
Same as when Dier gets it these days. You dont breath out until its with a white shirt. He's another one who for whatever reason is making more errors than before.

The last like 5 pages are filled woth people ripping him apart with the pitchforks out so what in the world are you on about?

He has an error in him, yes. But are you forgetting he literally just came off almost a month long lay off of injury and law problems on Monday? He’s still a fantastic keeper and top 3 in the league yet all we have in this thread is people advocating dropping him and selling him.

Fuck me...I don't often agree with you Hank, but here I am.

Hell must have frozen over

Not for me. Bobby Mimms!!!

Wasn't expecting that.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

ERIK Thorstvedt was a cult hero but was never in the same class as Jennings or Clemence back then and nowhere near as good as Hugo is now

Keepers will always make mistakes. Sometimes the great keepers mistakes are more noticeable because they make less of them and they are always trying to help out their defence rather than hiding like many lesser keepers

Agreed. Clemence best keeper at Spurs in my lifetime.

Agreed. Clemence best keeper at Spurs in my lifetime.

He was great, but not unlike Hugo had a bit of a penchant for making his mistakes in big games

No doubt Lloris is a very good keeper who can pull out world class performances. He's proved that, he's also proved he's inconsistent. ATM he's fragile. We have two other keepers. Do we use them?

I do think ET was as good. No bullshit.
