Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[Steffen]

Controversial opinion but for me Hugo was MOTM today. He only made I think one save but it was a huge one but jeeze did he show why he is the leader of this team. Some of the balls he collected out of the sky today were phenomenal, he really showed great composure and intelligence to calm things down, I just felt it was the perfect goalkeeping performance. There's always games where a keeper is producing worldies but today but was about him taking responsibility and claiming the ball and stopping Burnley do what they do best which is to create pinball in the box.

Also just read that he was unwell on top of it all. Has been a colossus these past few weeks.

This. Hugo is massively underrated by other teams' fans, but he's surprisingly underrated among us selves, too.

At times I'm very critical of Hugo. These last 10 game stretch hes been incredibly. One of the best runs of form in his entire tottenham career.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Lol, he's been this good for years.

Yeah but he's cut out the costly mistakes. Remarkable steady, while still being aggressive and assured when coming off his line.

Funny how that stopped when we stopped playing out from the back so much. Best thing Jose did was optimise us for Hugo (and Kane's) game.

16 clean sheets!! The most he's ever recorded in season. So happy for him! Just needs another 20 to break into the Top 5 of all time. I can see him doing it.

I’ve said it for time, and I’ll say it again. Legend. Please let this man win something with us.

Friend managed to have a chat with him after the game today and said he was shocked at how spurs he is, loves the club.

Love to win something with him. Along with son, Kane and Dier

If Nuno had his way, today would’ve been Lloris’ final game for us. Ridiculous. He’s as good as he’s ever been.

17 clean sheets this season is fantastic. Nearly half our games we didn't concede.

Edit: or is it 16? I got 17 from here: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61470030.amp

Really? What did Nuno said about Lloris?

I get what they are trying to convey but that's absolutely not the right type of chart to model these statistics.

Oh, a man who knows his charts. How sexy!

Chart seems fine, those trend lines are painfully unnecessary though.

I was disappointed a bit in Lloris yesterday.

I feel he should be the one organising at corners and if there is an overload he should see it and be barking instructions.

I also think he went down early for their 2nd, the goalies gamble.
