Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[LexingtonSpurs]

Next thing you know, people will want to sell Kane because he shoots too much..."Sure, he scores goals, but his shot percentage is terrible. Get him out."

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

He’s a top class goalkeeper who’s not performed as he can so far this season. That doesn’t mean he needs to be replaced. It means he needs to be supported.

I agree for now. Could it be World Cup Year playing it's nasty little "head game"?

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

The one element that frustrates me is his distribution, he floats 30 yard balls to the fullbacks which every time turns into a 50:50 challenge

His all round distribution needs improvement. Fortunately that can be sorted quite easily.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Here's the thing about Pochettino. He rarely persists with a player that doesn't improve on things that Pochettino tells him to improve. Which means, if you see a player starting EVERY game, and that player does something you moan about EVERY week. Chances are that you are the one that's in the wrong, not the player in question. Pochettino is probably happy with Lloris' distribution and the way he passes the ball, because if Pochettino wasn't happy, Lloris would have changed it, or he wouldn't still be playing all the freakin' time.

He plays because, on the whole, he is the best keeper we have, but his distribution is tough to watch and it is never going to improve. He is uncomfortable on the ball, and that's that. Leopards don't change their spots.

At 31 I wouldn’t be so sure.

Exactly. And Pochettino's persistence with him shows that fans perceive faults that Pochettino doesn't think are faults.

He's been told to do that

The thing with fakenews and bandwagons is people get caught on it very quickly and they just cannot get out.

distribution stats are given and Lloris has the best distribution after ederson, but denial mode is still strong. its now about putting the fullbacks under pressure. Remind me when did the opposing team score a goal from captains poor distribution. When he passes to the fullback its called keeping possession when he hoofs its call losing it. Reading some of the arguments it seems losing it is proper distribution; only for ur favourite man whore name degea, courtois, butt land, n thr new favorite medicine.

Do you have the inside track on Poch's thought processes?

Who is our best goalkeeper?

 

[Shadydan]

Probably the keeper who he plays the most.

 

[Kiedis]

I still think it's down to perception. Lloris looks more clumsy than he really is.
Other than that, I don't share the opinion that he often gets people into trouble with his passes. It's bound to happen at times during the season, since we look to play out from the back almost every time, but I still maitain that the soft goals he's been conceding this season is a bigger worry.

 

[bat-chain]

I’m very happy with Hugo, I wouldn’t change him for anyone but I do believe he was playing at a slightly higher level when coached by Tony Parks as opposed to Toni Jimenez. Maybe it is just coincidence but I certainly think a few little technical niggles have shown up that must be related to the sort of coaching you get or practice you do.

Can’t help feeling more concerned with every passing game. Thought he looked weak at Swansea on crosses. His punches seem to barely clear the area. Yes it was a thunderbolt tonight but on his side of the goal, just feel a courtois or De gea save that. I understand people feel bad criticising him but he currently fills me with no confidence at all.

He isnt as good as Courtois or De Gea, I dont think many would argue he was, but I don't think either would confidently say they would of saved that.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Courtois is inferior to Lloris.

I've been critical of Lloris recently, but come on mate. No keeper is saving that.

I think Courtois and De Gea were above him in the last stats I saw. I don't think we need to replace Lloris but it's definitely an area of weakness for him. Fortunately his shot stopping is a massive strength and no doubt so is his organisation of the defense.

Sigh...

Oh ffs. You really gonna go there. It was absolute thunderbolt in the top corner. No goalkeeper is saving that.
