I can't be arsed to argue the toss any more :D

What I will say is some of the 'errors' attributed to him are hilarious. Some are quite rightly laid at his feet but what usually happens when a scapegoat is selected is that standards are set impossibly high for them to allow for the ritual sacrificing at the altar. The slightest thing that can be seized upon, will be. It's laughable.

As for the stats game. Sky Sports last week produced one that suggested he'd made one error leading directly to a goal. The Liverpool one.

But on here? There's a list. A whole list, a catalogue of errors each leading to a goal. He's made "many, many" errors. It has to be perfection now. Its fucking laughable it really truly, cross my heart and dangle my old chap into a bowl of porridge is.

And there's me saying I can't be arsed to argue the toss :D

I could sit here and list the errors, but I don't have the energy for this argument anymore. I admire the loyality of those who still think he's great, I hope he proves you right because he was one of my favourite players 3 years ago and we need him to be great for the rest of the season.

I don't understand why it's so hard for people to admit that Lloris is both a world class shot stopper and who is error prone. Both sides of the argument has validity.

Really comes down to personally preference of each individual, if you can accept his excellence that comes along with his inconsistency.

I think we are in agreement on this, I personally just believe it's got to the point where his errors outweigh his brilliance, others disagree- fair play to them.

He made some cracking saves and showed strong leadership. French TV were harsh and thought he could have done better on a couple of the goals but you’re dealing with world class players on form. Two or three of the saves were WOOF

Once again he makes the difference in the biggest games, just as he did in France’s World Cup win. Quiet, unassuming, leader.

and people complain about Hugo

De Gea who would command a ridiculous fee has had a very poor season in comparison and actually he fucks up a fair bit but people think he is the best in the world.

Id stick with Hugo - thanks. Love the guy

What I think is that very many more people have opinions about a goalie than the number of people who know how to factually and skilfully rate a goalie objectively. It’s a very hard position to play and even harder for outsiders to understand.

Lloris is an excellent keeper, just this season he has been far more error prone. Certainly hope he cuts that out next season, but still don't think he is our biggest concern.
