Hugo Lloris

He has another 6 or 7 years at the club. Poch has also commented on how professional Lloris is. He is our second captain, his performances may have dipped a little. But we have seen this with outfield players and they come back great.

I’m a huge Lloris fan, but to say that wasn’t an error at the weekend is just crazy! If there’s a player in front of you you don’t kick it straight at them, you kick it out to the side! It was such an avoidable goal, Lloris kicks it out for a throw and he’s done a great job in anticipating the danger. His issue was what he did when he got to the ball.

In theory that sounds easy. In practice it is a race for a 50:50 ball and the aim of both players attacking the ball would be to get something on it before your opponent does. There would be no time to think, in that instance both are reliant on instinct and luck. It's not like it was hashed up clearance or he was caught dallying on the ball. If you are asking why didn't he clear it to the side then you might just as easily ask why didnt he control it and take it round the on rushing player.

Some one above wrote quite rightly, we play a relatively high risk system with the defensive high line Lloris will be called upon to make last ditch clearances as the sweeper keeper. Mostly he gets them right, it is one of his strengths imo. Occasionally he will get them wrong.

He made a mistake for the Chelsea goal pure and simple imho, but he was unlucky on Saturday.

It was 100% a hashed up clearance. It’s obvious and not just in hindsight that you kick to the side of the player in front of you, not at him and most definitely not take a touch and try and take on an on coming player, to kick first time to the side was the only thing to do in that situation! He got there in plenty of time to kick out to the side without much trouble. I even just naturally thought when the situation was developing that this is going out for a throw, no issues, the decision Lloris made to kick directly at the player was completely illogical I’m afraid.

I’ve not got a problem with him making the odd mistake, im a huge fan and have stuck up for him on here many a time when he first arrived when half the board still wanted Friedel to start and loads of times since over the years. I’m just pointing out that to say he didn’t make a mistake or he was unlucky on Saturday is just crazy.

Is that true, I thought they got there at the same millisecond really. There was way more chance of the ball bouncing to anyone else, rather than landing gently 4 feet in front of the attacker
 
In spite of his obvious weaknesses (his occational poor distribution and strange choices and/or lack of command in the box), I wouldn't swap Lloris for any keeper off the top of my head, bar De Gea. What he brings to the table more than outweighs the negative for me. I stick to what I said when he arrived and caught a lot of flak for his rushing out, I'd rather have a proactive keeper with the rare rooster-up than a passive reactive one. He has earned us exponentially more points than he has cost us.
 
De Gea would look brick for us

Imagine him with a high line. The gap would be huge between him and his defence and he would have to be even better
 
Only got to see motd last night. Totally blameless for the goal. There was no time to get it to the side.
What about de gea passing straight to a city player for a goal or scmicheal out picking daffodils, I take that's what he was doing because he was nowhere near the ball?
We take Hugo too much for granted.

Ok, I just looked again now because your the third person to say this (only on here). I 100% disagree, he’s left footed, it was even more natural to hit it out for a throw in than try and hit it up field. Sorry guys, but if you watched that footage and thought all he could do was hit it straight in to Diouf in front of him then we’ll have to agree to disagree.

They came to the ball at the same time, I don't see where he can clear it to. It would have been a bigger risk IMHO to try and play it either side. A misjudged slash at the ball with minimal contact on it but catching the player and Hugo is off.
100/1 chance it was going great to rebound perfectly for a goal. Unlucky.

I’m just not sure we’re looking at the same incident I’m afraid.
 
Time to start looking for a replacement methinks. Bad distribution has helped with Emirates Marketing Project's press and once again in the tunnel he has that look...like he's about to burst into tears.
 
It’s not the run of shockers he put together under AVB, but there is a problem, he looks nervy, his distribution turns us around and invites pressure, sometimes he flies out, sometimes he holds, which doesn’t help the cb’s, he’s making saves but putting the ball back into danger areas. He’s not the calm and commanding presence we need right now and I think it’s affecting the whole team.

He is probably missing Toby in front of him

He may not be aware of it but his stock is falling!
The frenchies are not that enamoured with him these days!

Was about to ask if his national place was up for grabs. The french used to have a half decent black goalie but I am going back 5 years. I actually wanted us to sign him, can not remember his name.

Hope Lloris turns it around but it leaves me nervous for the semi final. Maybe we play Vorm as he has played the other cup matches.
