Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[Finchyid]

We need to talk about Hugo, top keeper...didnt have his best season but he's been absolute top class in the World Cup, so glad he's ours.

I have constantly thought hes in top 3 in world....

Someone text me to say juve had bid but dont believe it

Very real chance Spurs players will come home from WC with a Winner's medal, Golden Boot, and Golden Glove, and outside chance at Golden Ball.

What a grand slam of honours.

Won’t have any money left after buying Ronaldo, not enough for HL!

Degea, Cocktoise??
Now that everyone has a chance to actually watch these two play , you will realise they are shit, they cant save no football and their distribution is shit.

Yes, their distribution is shit.
Lloris officially no 1 keeper in the world now

We seriously under appreciate this guy.

He's consistently been in the top handful of GKs in the world since he came to us, has had plenty of chances and reasons to leave, but he stuck fat.

This will be his 7th season for us, he's made 254 appearances between the sticks, and despite this nonsense narrative that seems to persist about him being unreliable, I reckon in those 254 games you could count the amount of true shockers on one hand.

He's a club legend and I'm not even goign to consider a word to the contrary.

Hope England make the final, seeing Kane and Hugo shake hands at the coin toss will make me so happy.

And the rest of the premiership so sick!!

Poch will be thinking, I signed that decking contract too soon, I could have asked for double! Levy has played a blinder once again.

We have had so many good keepers but for he is as much a legend as the others....Probably the best keeper I have seen play for Spurs in 38 years

 

[MarkyP]

Really pleased for Hugo. Such a top keeper....

however... thinking also as an England fan, I've never seen him save a Pen.. that's a potential positive...

No denying he had a sub par season and was even under pressure in some parts of French media to keep his place. But he’s been superb not put a foot wrong and made some top saves. Not sure if he hasn’t been put under pressure or his distribution has improved as well. But haven’t noticed any wayward kicking either. If England do get to the final be interesting to see how high we press him. Spurs boys will know it’s a possible chink in his game. But right now certainly deserves golden glove. Crazy to think we could clean sweep all the World Cup awards. I think England need to win it and Kane get couple more goals for him to win golden ball as well as boot.

 

[nicdic]

His footwork is not a kink. There's maybe two or three 'keepers in world football who are better with the ball at their feet.

It's a fallacy that he's poor with the ball at his feet. It's easy to look at Ederson and be underwhelmed with Lloris' ability on the ball, but statistics this season put Lloris as the best blend between shot stopping and distribution.

If someone like De Gea played in our system he would look like an absolute disaster playing out from the back imo.

Lloris suffers in this respect because of the way we play and people don't understand this, so it has a bizarre influence on his reputation as a keeper. He'd probably be considered in the top couple in the world by everyone if he played in a system where he simply had to put his foot through it every time he touched the ball.

Thats where it goes all wrong for Hugo...hitting it long or trying a 50 yard pass

Juve has already signed Perrin, so your mate is lying.

Yeah....his knowledge is way off

he definitely got some abuse last season. He made a couple of mistakes coming off his line and all of a sudden he was past his prime.

He has saved a pen I think? Against Juve?

He’s been rather jolly splendid this World Cup.

smashed it against/over the bar didn't he?
