This post is getting a lot of negs but he is right. Hugo is far from world class and bottles it in big games.
Can u give some examples?
It's getting negged because it's complete bollox written in the heat of the moment by someone who's had a few beers.

I expect the negative reps to come flooding in for this but i do think he's a bit overrated. Makes quite a few mistakes, distibution is poor at times. He's good but certainly not the best in the league as many seem to believe

Who's said he's the best in the league?
He is one of the best, 3rd imo.

Had a shocker at the end there but he will win us points over the course of the season and he is a top class keeper that we are fortunate to have. Every keeper makes mistakes.

Lloris is a good goal keeper no doubt but definitely not as great as some Spurs fans think. Certainly don't believe in that world class bollocks. His kicking is also very bad.

But again finding a better goalkeeper than him is equally a difficult task.His shot stopping ability is second to none.

It was certainly not a knee jerk reaction from my side as I always had same opinion about him.

It's frustrating because he is that kind of a goalkeeper that can win you the title but can also lose you the title.

People say it all the time on here. He's obviously good, and makes incredible saves at times, but i just always feel he has a mistake in him.

He knows his standard, I am quite sure.. And that's why he still stick with us.. If not, he will have been in rumours IMHO..

I don't remember seeing anyone saying that, besides you only feel he has mistakes in him because you probably watch every minute of every game.
Newsflash: All keepers make mistakes. Most make far more than Hugo.
You're just venting and looking for a scapegoat, we get it.

Not really venting, its a fairly reasoned argument. It wouldn't make much sense coming out and saying Lloris is overrated after we've just beaten Watford 4-0 or something. And yes you're right, plenty of keepers make more mistakes than Lloris, but not the top top ones, hence me suggesting he may not be one of them.

Bingo, problem with these things is that it's clear that fans only watch their own players and put them under the microscope yet they don't offer the same level of critique when they evaluate other players. Also the good things they do gets forgotten about because they're expected and become the norm yet the moment the fuck up they're over analysed unfairly IMO.

De Gea, Neuer and Courtois have made some horrendous errors but I guarantee you some of our fans haven't seen them or if they have they've totally forgotten about them.
