Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[allatsea]

I thought he had little to do despite Chelsea's dominance.

He made one great save with his foot just before they scored from the corner I think.

As for going down too early for the second goal... haha! He had to gamble one way or another as you're never expecting it to be hit down the middle when the player has that much time. Was actually a poor finish from James in the end.

Not his responsibility to mark players. Son just switched off after it was taken. I think mark zonally so not much to say if they're in the correct spots.

As for the goal it was virtually a one on one what's he supposed to do.

It is his responsibility.

The goalie can see everything and it is usual for them to organise at corner kicks.

He should have seen the overload and sorted it out.

But yet if he stood upright he would have saved it.

That's a good idea, maybe he should stop diving altogether.

But yet if he stood upright he would have saved it.

And when James passed it into the corner and scored you’d most likely be slating Lloris for not diving.
One on ones more often than not are stacked massively in the forwards favour

James is shooting first time and is relatively central, not coming in from an angle. and he's not close in (ie massive target to hit). If a keeper makes a save there's he's done well and got quite lucky also, basically like saving a pen except with less time to think about it.

As for the overload on the corner Hugo could/should have noticed that but so should everyone else. We're a team, it's not a case of "I'm in my spot so my job is done"....someone should have noticed, nobody did.

I'm not saying he should have saved it I just feel he went down to quickly. (Which he has a tendency to do) Peter Schmeichal pulled off so many close range saves by just standing up as long as he could.

In regards to the corner:
The Keeper is the commander of his box, has no-one to mark and can see the whole situation?

There were plenty of players who had no-one to mark at that corner.

Not saying Hugo is blameless but there's a collective responsibility here.

Koulibaly is lined up on the edge of the box (just inside), from the keepers view there three defenders there matching up to the three players at the back post/outer area of the box.

If anything i'd be querying why there are so many of our players at the front post covering very little. But again the whole thing was a mess, all the players are responsible for figuring this out, including but not exclusive to the keeper.

Its also then not Hugos fault that none of the three players within the vicinity decide the cross that came in wasnt their responsibility.

Why was there even a discussion in all honesty?

I'm a huge critiic of Hugo over the years by the way.

I just felt that him being our World Cup winning captain and goalie that he should be organising any alterations in our defence for corners as that is a GK duty.

Apparently according to some that is too much to expect.

Stand up and he saves second goal. Much harder for scorer if he does that. If he fails because scorer outwits him no complaints, but stand up! Don't make it easy.

Their first goal is worrying.

Shouldn’t be possible and hints at clear communication and leadership issues in defence.

They've seemingly improved from deep crosses/free kicks outside the 18 yard box (where certain players <cough> Winks <cough> were forever giving away cheap/unnecessary fouls) and it was a right mess dealing with it often leading to goals often right on half-time or around 80 minutes when leading and comfortable and ending up with a lot of dropped points.

I have seen Dier, Romero dragging players into position or bollocking them at corners, Hugo not so much as he tend to shoving some orc opposition player off of his toes. Since this set-price coach arrived I've seen less of it; now I don't know it's related it's just a lazy observation, have we gone from free-thinking or corners to players trying to remember a set-play defence pattern that they've forgotten the basics?

Just the chav game someone (especially following the first goal) should've pointed at our biggest ugliest unit and said "you; go stand on him for this corner" as it was obvious they'd been working that routine all week.

Both goals were signs that the defenders were too focused on themselves and not aware of the overall shape of the defence.

Hopefully early season rust but both goals would be embarrassing for a school team to concede. Our defenders need to be more confident vocally and demanding of each other.

10 years to the day he joined us. Sheesh time flies by.

Great servant to the club. Love Hugo, has been superb throughout and genuinely deserves a trophy with us. He is going to leave a massive hole when he retires/leaves

Do they still do testimonials nowadays?

Should do for him. Legend.

I agree... you would have a fair few stars at the game....
