Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[CarrickSpurgus]

In the big games there are 3 players who I always think are liable to make a fuck up that leads to a goal...Trippier, Dier and Lloris.

Lloris has been a liability in the big games for quite a while now.

I said to my son prior to yesterday's game ,you just know that either Hugo or Trippier will let us down, almost always the same players .

Love the guy but he needs to be dropped. Basic management skills, it you don't give the reserves a chance when the people ahead of them are performing badly it is utterly demoralising.

 

[Shadydan]

He is the very least of our problems.

Id rather spend our money on more urgent and pressing areas... Gazza is not good enough in my view... he flaps a bit and looks awkward at crossing and handling.

Not sure why this got 2 disagrees - this is a very accurate take.

Hugo had no chance when the media decides to gang up against him. This is not helped by people who are easily influenced by what they read instead of what they see.

Hugo also had no chance when his outfield easily allow the ball to be crossed into the box.

He had no chance ..no sir, even with fact sheets and stats showing hes the best keeper in the league, he had no chance. Mob mentality wins.

that ball that was crossed is a routine play for any decent goalie that commands his box. Easy come off your line and collect!

Can’t stand apologists....you remind me of the gang that used to come one here excusing Sherwood!

 

[Josiebyar]

Gazzaniga isn't good enough to be number one. I'd go for Cillesen at Barcelona.

Can’t really say that without seeming him week in week out. Hasn’t disappointed when he has played and in fact we won pretty much every game in which he has been involved apart from the League Cup semi with Chelsea (I think)

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Hugo is a problem but not the problem.

If by some miraculous turn of events we are able to sort out our midfield, our fullbacks, replace Eriksen and replace Alderweireld. Then we should consider looking for a new keeper, IF there is even a better one available.

I think we have issues in so many other areas of the pitch that I can't see Goalkeeper being high on the priority list unless PSG decide to give us a generous offer. I think you'd need your head in the sand to not be at least concerned with Hugo atm. I'd be interested in the Ajax keeper but I think he wants Barca.

 

[Josiebyar]

He also made an error for their first with one of his trademark panic kicks going straight up in the air and straight to a well advanced Liverpool team when we needed composure.

Can anyone remember his positioning against Man City at Wembley as well when they scored? It was a tap in but he was positioned the wrong side of the post FFS! Flog him to a mid table French team and be done with him now. We've given him chance after chance and still he looks like a 15 year old playing in a mans game

He gets away with a lot of tripe he does that we don’t even remember anymore.

he was a finalist for FIFA keeper of the year last year. he's not been at his best this year but you are overstating your case.

A finalist......dropped it it at the last minute hey?

Tell me the reason we didn’t come away with at least a point form yesterday’s match?

You got the answer to our problems....

 

[Josiebyar]

look at that moment Aldeweireld is being pressed with the ball and he has a look at Lloris and thinks nope I’ll prefer to play it up...

Lloris is THE problem even with the confidence he doesn’t give to his back four and until people stop apologising and realising this we will not progress

I don't really understand your question, you think losing a point in yesterdays game outweighs the bigger issues we have had this season? Also whenever anybody puts the dots it comes across extremely condescending.

I can always rely on you dude... You're not shady at all...

Right but read the initial post - he is the very least of our problems right now, we have other areas that need to be sorted which is true, I'm not saying that Lloris isn't an issue but he isn't the main issue of our team.

I posted this back in Feb, Still as pertinent now as it was then.


I absolutely agree it's time Poch was ruthless with some players and Lloris is one of them.

He makes more big errors more than any other top 6 keeper in the league I believe (by quite a margin).

At the very least he needs to be stripped of his captaincy and given to someone else. Poch needs to start refreshing the squad, and there are certain players who I believe need to be sacrificed for the greater good of the side.

Lloris is definitely one of them, he's had a very very poor season overall and it annoys me when I see fans jumping about because he pulls out a good save, as if that glosses over all his mistakes and shortcomings.

The guy can't be relied on, even in the world Cup final he made a calamitous error. If he can't concentrate for 90 mins in a game of that magnitude, what hope have we got?

I've lost count the amount of huge games he's basically chucked one in his own net. He basically sums up us as a team, we flatter to deceive but when push comes to shove we haven't got enough about us.

I just think certain players have run their course and for me his kicking is absolutely woeful, and his pro's do not outweight his cons, not by a stretch.

It rubs salt in the wounds that such an error prone player is our captain. It's just really odd. captains should be the players who stand up when needed the most, lead by example and grab games by the scruff of the neck when the chips are down.

Does Lloris really fit this criteria?

We didn't take our chances. Is that the right answer?

He's a massive issue mate, he costs us far more points than he wins, without a shadow of a doubt.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

If we were to look for a new number 1, would people want Gazza to be given a shot, or bring someone else in?

My knowledge of GKs outside of Spurs is poor, who could we try and get?

People will mock but I think Butland would be a good choice.

In an ideal world I agree, I'd love to see Kane captaining the side leading us into the new era. However this is a decision that needs to be made in the summer, I also struggle to see how we are going to be selling our keeper and getting somebody in when they're so many other issues which are glowing red at the moment. We have the midfield debacle, We have Eriksen that will need replacing either by like-for-like or a change of system, We have Alderweireld who will need replacing because Foyth/Sanchez are still quite raw. We then have issues on both sides with our fullbacks. If we add the keeper to the pile, realistically that's a lot of transfer business for a team who seemingly can't bring a single player in.

 

[seppo]

I see the keeper as the foundation of a house - you can have all the Kane's and Dele's you want - if your foundation is not up to par you can add all the luxury components you want to the house - one day it will cave in anyway. Unfortunately, this analogy does not go well with actual human beings, seeing that Lloris has caved in and fucked us completely several times this season already.

 

[Wsussexspur]

That's kind. In the footballing world he's a dinosaur

Haha true, so was big Brad Friedel when we signed him and he did ok for couple of seasons.
