I'd rather have Lloris than any other Premier League goalkeeper for the style and system we play.
If he makes more mistakes, and I'm not convinced he does, it's because he is a better player who plays far more bravely and imaginatively and doesn't play it safe so as to avoid personal mistakes. (Pat Jennings made more mistakes than his contemporaries because he was a better, more pro-active player and protected his defence better.)
I believe we'd concede more goals and be less threatening ourselves with a more conservative, traditional keeper.
