Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[Finchyid]

Some saves wouldn't have happened either.

We'd have probably lost to Watford, as an example. Let's not forget how he got injured either.

Simple point is that if PG isn't good enough because of his weaknesses, neither is HL for his.

Explain how we would have lost at watford? Gazza guessed the right way on a shit penalty. Did nothing else

the "lloris would've saved that" angle used to get thrown around all the time whenever vorm conceded as well yet lloris most definitely has let in plenty of soft goals over the years and his blooper-reel if someone was to make one would be utterly outrageous. just this season he's managed to dribble the ball into his own net and break his arm trying to rectify yet another blunder.

How posters on here still defend him I can’t get my head around.
He was a good player for us up till around 2 years ago after that he has been pretty bad.
I appreciate he was very good in the first few seasons and was loyal over the years when he could have moved upwards but it’s been time to say goodbye for a while now

Lloris just kept being terrible in this season as well. It’s comical how bad he was. People was almost happy at the time he broke his arm.

Posters here defend him because he's actually a world class goal keeper and we're so lucky that he's part of the club we support. Chances of us signing a better goal keeper than Hugo Lloris are slim to none.

You need to lay off the crack pipe mate ?
In what world is lloris a world class goalkeeper? Maybe at his best but certainly not now. He has made more mistakes leading to goals in the last year than any world class keeper would in a 15 year career.

People keep judging the difference between Lloris and Gazzaniga based on errors and saves. That's misleading. The differences between them are to do with different factors entirely.

Gazzaniga can kick long at a teammate on a reliable basis. Lloris' distribution is erratic.

Lloris' world-class speed off his line enables our high line. The number of goals we have conceded this season from players getting behind our defensive line reveals how much the defenders have relied upon Lloris' speed and sweeping skills for many years.

I'm not especially bothered about Lloris' short distribution to a defender under pressure, because Mourinho has nixed that. It wasn't a problem under Pochettino either. It caused heart attacks, but virtually no goals conceded.

When Lloris returns, I hope we can expect to concede fewer goals against fast strikers, but it should be left to Alderweireld to make the long, raking passes to our attacking players, because Lloris can't do it accurately.

Agree with most of that but Gazza kicking it long is because he has been allowed to do so. Lloris getting us in the shit with poor distribution was because he was told to go short.
Yes Lloris is quicker of his line and thats one of his strong points.
They are different type of keepers but at the end of the day when all is said and done theres not much doubt who is the better all round keeper of the two imo.
And I think we'll see much less of that short unnecessary nerve racking distribution from Lloris anyway so win win.
Lloris booted it long for France. With us it barely reached the halfway line. He can do it. Maybe not as well as Gazza but certainly better than he was under Poch.

Lloris high speed off his line has caused nothing but mistakes and goals for a long time

Think it got us out the shit way more times than it caused problems personally.
There were occasions dont get me wrong but Ive seen us concede more than enough goals recently that I'm sure Lloris would have prevented.
Onions innit.

Think being injured has made people forget how poor Lloris has been for at least 2 seasons, world class not a chance, we need a new first choice keeper in the summer

Winnered x 1000.

Nuff said. End of.

Note these mistakes seems to come against the better teams as well. Liability.

Him and Trippier would make some compilation.

You heard of confirmation bias?

 

[Spurrific]

This thread is a great way of working out who hasn’t got a clue about goalkeeping. Lloris has made a few mistakes, but he’s also played 230 odd more games than Gazzaniga for us in a higher risk system. And their mistake tallies are probably about equal, even then.

If you actually think their ability or talent are comparable, you’re barking. I can’t wait to have him back, talking about the start of the season when our defence had downed tools is redundant, what can he do when the whole team decides to forget how to use their feet? He remains one of our most loyal and talented players. Kane makes a load of mistakes too, as do Son, Eriksen, Toby et al. Making out Lloris is in any way more culpable than the rest is (and excuse my language) absolutely bananas.

Our players always get better the longer they haven't played. It was Eric Dier people were calling out for earlier in the season after he'd been out.

 

[theShiznit]

Lloris hasn't been a sweeper keeper for about 18 months now, much preferring the comfort of the six yard box.

Not sure the rest will change that, but time will tell...

Could be a simple case that a change in coaching and a rest ( mentally especially)will help Hugo regain his form.

I think Hugo had it too comfortable. Poch was even quoted saying he didn't see him just as a player, more the coaching staff. I bit of fear and uncertainty could do him good and get him on his toes. Gazza done well for us though I think. He's not perfect but I wouldn't drop him to be honest.
