The first one is a deflection, the second one, a lot of keepers would struggle to make the initial save from Holt. A lot like Southampton's goal, a difficult save from a good strike, just that we didn't react quick enough to clear it.

He was excellent I thought. He's like a cheetah off the line, they went through 1v1 at one point and before their striker decided what he was going to do with his life out comes Lloris to block it. Came and punched half a dozen dangerous crosses away too, along with one pretty good save in the 2nd half.
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas refused to criticise Hugo Lloris after the goalkeeper's blunder in the 2-1 defeat by Norwich.
The Frenchman produced a number of impressive saves in the Capital One Cup clash at Carrow Road but failed to deal with Grant Holt's header near the end of the match, allowing Simoen Jackson to score the winner.
Norwich had drawn level just moments earlier through Jan Vertonghen's own goal, with Spurs earlier taking the lead thanks to Gareth Bale.
Villas-Boas admitted it was a concern to see his defence again crumble in the dying minutes under pressure, saying: "It is obviously something that is in our mind at the moment.
"It is obviously difficult but the further you train these situations sometimes the worse it becomes.
"You cannot match the emotion and concentration players face during the game. We obviously have to do better and try to improve things for the next game.
"It's a pity to see the game slip from our hands. We had a good performance."
Asked about Lloris, Villas-Boas said: "He did extremely well in the game. He had a good solid performance. It is difficult for goalkeepers in situations like these."

WTF? What's he supposed to be criticising him for?

I don't think so. Some may say he was at fault for the second goal, but people get fixated on slow motion replays and judge people on them. These things happen in a split second and when he made the initial very good save he wouldn't have had the time to alter his body shape or think to himself I bette push this ball into space.
That doesn't make much sense assuming AVB's ethos so far (on this particular situation) has been 'fight for your place and earn it'
I sincerely doubt he picks players regardless of their repsective performances and if this wasn't enough to earn Hugo a start, not sure what to say really.

The premise of your post suggested myself and other vocal supporters of AVB's appointment shouldn't (or at the very least - attempt to) criticise 'our man' since he was the no.1 choice prior to this. Or in other words - this is the guy you wanted - now stop moaning if he's not picking Lloris to start. At least that is how it came across - speaking under correction so feel free to tell me otherwise if I've misunderstood something. I simply outlined you can support the manager and still raise valid conerns occasionally about some of his decision - the two aren't mutually exclusive per se.

I think he needs to stick with Lloris now. Dropping him after that might ruin his confidence.
It would most certainly do that and send out a poor message to the rest of the team, imv - 'perform as best as you can to earn a spot = means fudge all - I'll stick with the regulars'. I don't think AVB would do that personally so here's hoping.

That wasn't what I was trying to say. Anyone should be able to criticise or question a manager. I just think that discussing what AVB's reasons might be is more interesting than page after page of "x player is better and must start the next game" or "y player is rubbish and should only play in Europe".
