Prone to error.
and Lloris isn't?

Frederic Kanoute
Take your point but errors seemed more of a part of his game than with Lloris.
Could be wrong but I don't remember Thorstvedt coming off his line that much either. Lloris dominates his area more and seems that much sharper all round.

looking at that list, there;s no-one there I dreaded having between the posts unlike a previous era when we had to make do with Milja Aleksic, bobby mimms, barry daines etc. For a short period of time Gomes was unbeatable until that error and it all went pear-shaped but he showed at Watford this year, he still has it in him, just a very fragile temperament

Unfortunately, the temperament is a big part of being a top goalkeeper. I'm glad to see Gomes doing well again, though.
Another aspect is concentration and ability to react alertly when not really involved in the game. A top goalkeeper can have nothing to do for an hour and then needs to be at his best instantly. This is very different from goalkeepers at lesser teams where their shot stopping heroics can be impressive and the occasional mistakes get forgotten among the many saves.

It is hard to compare, as Thorsvedt must have played behind some right dross. I can remember seeing him pick the ball out of the net against teams like Cov and Forest, he just seemed pretty average, pretty good... but not particularly wonderful or sought after by other clubs. For me Lloris seems better, but hard to remember well.
Yep and it's all through memory. We don't have the stacks of Sky archives to compare him with Lloris, nor did Lloris have to keep goal behind back fours of the class of Sedgley, Calderwood, Judas and Austin.

Thorstvedt wasn't around during the EPL era was he?

He and Walker shared the first two seasons. Thorstvedt also played Ossie's last two games the following seasons.
I was also surprised that Mabbutt lasted four seasons in the PL.

I would have loved to have had Brad at Spurs at his peak. With the exception of Schmeichel (senior), I can't think of many goalkeepers who have had a better Premiership career, though he did have the benefit of playing in some teams where he got plenty of practice!
