Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[hellava_tough]

We need to sort his future out, since his contract expires in 2022.

I would love to see him sign a 2 or 3 year extension.

However, if the club is not willing to do that, we need to get in his replacement in ASAP.

I think he'll see his career out here tbh. He's been through thick and thin with us.

Did you see him staring at the Clemence in-memorium, during the minutes applause, struggling to keep his emotions in check? The bloke is Spurs.

Captain fantastic yesterday. Some absolute match winning saves, particularly that one he picked out of the bottom corner from Mount. And then calmed everything down with a couple of solid claims. So, so solid.

The world's best for the last five years. Its much obvious now because he finally has decent defensive cover in front of him now

It must be a horrible time for the Edersons, Degea and Alison fanboys, they can't post here anymore

Word class save on Mount, it was just as good as a goal.

I just hope he can lift at least one trophy for us.

To be fair Hugo was absolutely shocking at times between 2018 and 2019 I think. He wasn't really helped by the defense at times and was always good enough on the line, but his kicking and rushing out were completely off.

Just seen online that there is a Mirror article posted 13hrs ago which is an interview with Lloris about the game? surely he wouldn't be doing that if he's out?

The media rounds are usually done midweek, I believe. Then drip-released in the build-up to a game

Yes, David Hyter at the Guardian has just published something. Would assume it was from last week....

He has made the odd glaring mistake, but his stats over the course of each and every season during his time at Spurs (and most of his time at Lyon) evidence that he's world class. He's one of the only 'keepers who consistently saves significantly more expected goals than he lets in - very much equivalent to the shooting stats of a world class striker (Kane, Lewandowski, Aguero etc.). He's also consistently been the best at sweeping behind a high defensive line and one of the best in one-on-one situations.
If a striker scores 20 goals in a season but misses a couple of sitters, the misses (mistakes) are overlooked. If a 'keeper makes 20 top-draw saves but makes a couple of mistakes, pundits and fans seem to focus on the mistakes. It would be interesting to see a comparison of Lloris and Kane's stats (saves / expected goals vs. goals scored / expected goals).

According to this SSN article, Lloris has been the best 'keeper in the PL during his time in England.
