I hope he comes back and has recovered well. We could do without having to replace him as well in the summer.

If everyone thinks Lloris is the answer to save all our defensive problems then you are in for a rude awakening. He has no leadership qualities, so he certainly won’t be drilling the shit defence of ours and he was making just as much mistakes as Gazzaniga. Don’t get me wrong, he’s better than Gazzaniga, but not by much. Lloris coming Back will change nothing.

I am sure EVERYONE doesn't think he solves ALL of our defensive problems. We aren't the Borg with one hive mind.

Apart from, by your own logic, we will have a better goalkeeper in goal.

Welcome to the modern world. When having a debate with someone you disagree with you have two options:
1) listen to the points the person is making. They might have valid points or might be talking shit. You can then make your own points and time will tell which opinion was most correct.
2) you can not listen to the person's opinion and twist their words or in the extreme just assume what their point is and ridicule it. You think you are intelligent but actually you are a small-minded moron incapable of basic discussion.
The modern world is mostly option 2.
So many platforms for discussion but we're just incapable of it.
Lloris is FAR better than Gazzaniga. It isnt even close.

One positive with Jose’s apprenhension to playing around at the back is that we will probably see the best of Lloris and none of the worst.

I think Gazzaniga is a good goalkeeper, but not having Lloris for a few months shows what we get way too used to when he plays regularly. He covers for the defence multiple times a game, because he's so quick.
People have been going on and on about how our central defenders have slowed down, as if this is a sudden development. Sure, they're getting older, but what's sudden is that they don't have this mobile sweeper-character behind them. Lloris covers, I'd guess, about a 30%-40 larger area of the pitch than most keepers. His style of play enabled our high line under Pochettino and it's no coincidence that, without him, our defence keeps getting caught by players getting in behind.
It's what you don't even notice about Lloris when he's there that shows up his quality. In every match now, opponents get to balls that Lloris would have collected.
People tend to watch and remember errors with goalkeepers. An absence of errors is not what makes Lloris exceptional. Even his ability to make impressive saves is not what makes him exceptional. His speed of reaction off his line and his coverage of his area are what make him exceptional.

I'm hoping the break from football has been good for Hugo as i feel his decision making has been shot for some time, to the point where he is mainly a stay at home keeper now when he was pretty much the original premiership sweeper keeper. seems to second guess everything, which is not great in any position let alone one as important as keeper.
Here's hoping the rest has been good for him mentally too. ?
