Everytime a ball gets kicked towards him it goes in. I get he is popular and looks good in a suit but couldn't give a shit about those things

Exactly what I am thinking. I have not seen a commanding display or a modicum of the skillet that Lloris demonstrates. It just feels like he is a Gazzaniga mk2.

Transparent horse shit, as even a cursory glance at his stats will testify.

How convenient that him winning us a penalty shootout a few weeks ago has somehow slipped people’s minds now they’re looking for an excuse to spew unfounded piss and bile over one of our players.

It’ll be someone else’s turn tomorrow.

God this place is becoming a cesspool.

No doubt he is planned to be the chosen Lloris replacement but isn’t exuding a commanding presence at this early stage.

Only strength so far has been with the ball at his feet which has never been Lloris strong point but if he is not at least on a par or pushing for a start in the league by January then we should really be looking at a new contract for Hugo

“Can’t believe this young goalkeeper isn’t yet at the same level as a World Cup winning captain who’s one of the best 5 keepers in the world” is a dismally piss poor take, even for the loud and proud imbeciles on here

I felt he was late diving for the Utesse goal tonight. Unfortunately he does not instill confidence so far in his performances.

I think that the problem is that some people feel that they're capable of making a professional judgment on a player fairly quickly and many seem incredulous that the coaching staff don't seem to share their capabilities. Football is an opinions based business - always has been and there's no reason why people shouldn't be able to share an opinion, even if it's as crass as saying that a player is 'shit'. It just needs to be taken in the context of the fact that despite having incredible perception and unrecognised coaching ability, most wouldn't be able to manage a Sunday league side, let alone a premier League one.

It is still early days tbf, but I just don’t rate this guy at all.

Do you think he knows he is allowed to use his hands? Dive for the ball?

Obviously not played a lot but can't quite understand why we shipped out Gazzaniga for this guy at the moment.

How can you rate him from tonight, barely had anything to do and the goals he couldn’t do anything about
Not just today, he hasn’t been assured in his other fixtures either - but like I say early days, right now he doesn’t fill me with confidence.

He doesn’t dive. He seems to get rooted far too often. It’s been a recurring theme of the games he has gotten for us so far.

Has the guy ever used his hands?

I am sure I've seen him make one save but can't remember if it was a training video or match
