I'm not sure if it is the fact we are shit in the air or Lloris not kicking very well, but I think he needs to improve his distribution with his feet.

Bit harsh on Lloris, he's the first keeper we've had for years who hasn't had leaden legs

I'm chuffed this guy is our goal keeper. Such a calming presence in the box. He's only going to get better too as he becomes accustomed to the league and the team.

Anyone see how pissed off Lloris was after conceding today? i know keepers normally looked annoyed after conceding but i swear i saw him ranting still when the camera went on him 10 minutes later. Anyone else see this? Good to see though, he has an amazing mentality for a football player.

Best signing for us this year easily.

I'm the last guy to get sycophantic towards a Spurs player, but this guy is top drawer. Considering the dross we've watched sice Jennings, he's silly good.

Yes the commentator mentioned it was because he let the ball slip out of his hands after gathering at the feet of an Arsenal player (which had just occurred - so could have been), but I (at the time) thought he was still frustrated with not stopping the goal.

I think he was pissed at himself for when he gathered that dangerous Jenkinson cross that Giroud was waiting for, and then almost spilled it. He's an intense young man.

He even looked well fucked off when he fumbled the ball after making an awesome goal saving interception on a low cross. I like this guy

I think the main difference for him and other keepers is the mental side of the game, taking bales goal today as an example. IMO the arse keeper didnt do enough but you cant really blame him, i reckon Lloris would see that kind of ball coming and rush out a second earlier, be a second quicker running and also not stop a second before the attacker reaches the ball to attempt to save a shot. He would attempt to smother the ball, not sit there and pull a silly pose like below. (Hope this all makes sense)

Yeah, he wouldn't wait for Bale to shoot, he would sprint out and put him under pressure immediately

Corrected.

Hart has made more mistakes than Gomes. I am baffled how he manages to stay out of the media's watch with the sheer amount of high profile mistakes he has made this year, including international matches.

A shadow of last seasons keeper in my opinion.

I've found the press treatment of Hart baffling too this season as they traditionally love to crucify an English keeper.

James, Robinson, Green, Foster, and Carson have all been savaged by the press in the last decade or so yet Hart, who has been as poor as that lot this season, still seems to keep his golden boy tag.
It's even worse when you consider they are currently engaged on a witch hunt for De Gea who's having a better season than Hart, and in my view, will develop into one of the best in the business.
