I love the man, the best keeper we've had since I've been going to Spurs (1986).

But he's developing a habit of not performing in big games for us. It's bizarre given his general standards, but maybe his intensity and will to win make him too wound up in these matches sometimes. Too much adrenaline.

An opinion I have had for years now but I will say it again.
This ain't a knee jerk reaction of any kind...
But if Gomes had made some of the errors Lloris has made in the last few seasons including costing us many big London Derbies and games against Manchester City to name a few people would have been baying for his blood.

Lloris is by far the most overrated goalkeeper in the premier league.
And I actually preferred Heurelho Gomes...
Ahhhh I feel so much better...
Awaits the negs..
Gomes carrying a poor Spurs side to top 4> Lloris having the best defence we've ever had and bottling all the big games.

Why do people constantly say things like this :D

Lloris has done enough to warrant the trust and backing from us that's why he doesn't get criticised, that's why Poch won't drop him because he knows he's a top class keeper and does is capable of much better performances. There's a reason whey Lloris is playing for CL club challenging for the title and Gomes is playing for Watford.

As for the rest of your post lol

i love hugo and still think he's the best keeper we could possible have at this moment, but i do feel extremely let down by him right now. His mistake hurts so much not only because it was chelsea, but because i held hugo in such high esteem he was right along with the top players that i have seen play for spurs. Now i dont trust him as much as of Bales, modrics, and kings of the past.
I'm not sure if you intended this to come across the way it did. Are you saying you changed your opinion of Hugo based on this one match?! Christ.

That's one of the most unfair things I have ever read on here.

He has made a few errors over the years, but who hasn't? All top keepers will have the odd mistake in them. He has definitely won us more points than he has cost us over the years.

The main reason Gomes is at Watford because some twitchy prick ruined about 2 years of his career after he carried a team with fucking Bassong in centre back to a champions league place...
Also he would have saved both Alonsos goals today.

I've read someone claiming his position was poor which I don't agree with.

He was too close to his right hand post - I said it before the free kick was taken. Might not have saved it had he been a yard closer to the centre of the goal, but he was certainly too close to the right hand post.

not entirely my opinion of him just isnt quite as high as what it was before the match. It also has a little bit to do with the Kieron Gibb goal he conceded against arsenal, the Sanchez goal at the lane to make it 2-2 and the mess last year at the ethihad. I still want him to be our captain and our number one. I just don't hold him up at the top echelon's of my spurs fandom as I once did.

It's not about how many mistakes he makes, it's about how he is making them against our biggest rivals in the games that we need him the most. He's still an outstanding keeper, he's just not a super human in my opinion anymore.

Im not suggesting to replace him but he has made a few errors for both us and France recently. And considering Alonso scored a replica free kick last season almost exactly the same maybe it should of been expected and potentially saved. However I would need a keeper coach to tell me that answer

Anyone who's been a Spurs fan for awhile will know just how good Hugo is.

Yes he has the odd moment but percentages-wise he saves us an awful lot more.

Sometimes seems to suffer when the other team lack a threat - like today - but then most goalies do...

If he's to be known as a top goalkeeper he had to save that shot today. A Cech or De Gea would never get beaten there. In my opinion it was as big a howler as Horrendous Gomes used to make.

He was the best for us for the last few seasons but now the team has grown and it doesn't look like Hugo has grown with it. Obviously Poch has some misgivings since the interest in Pau Lopez and Gazzaniga but admittedly that may be more down to Hugo's age rather than form.

Listen I know he's been great for us down the years but he doesn't look good enough anymore. What about the god awful mistake for France recently?

Cech is knows for being beaten at his near post and De Gea let in a similar goal against Croatia in the Euro's so...

Mrs always say's your keeper is this and that, basically a liability. I think he's one of the best in the league, but he seems to always prove me wrong when she watches a game with me - So annoying , especially when she is proven right about football! Come on Hugo I'm losing faith. He's the best keeper I've ever seen play for Spurs but sadly I think he is on the decline, strange when I think about it as the best keepers seem to get better with age.
