You could take the xG of all the shots on target against us and compare it to goals conceded to get a rough Hugo factor.Schmeichel Sr was an absolute beast; Hugo is not in his class, but I'm pretty certain he has earned us plenty points with some insane reaction saves. I'm sure someone somewhere must have stats of some kind for that. He's got weaknesses, and was nowhere near his best yesterday, but overall he's a major asset to us and the best keeper IMO we've had since Thorstvedt.
Are you sure that's not including West Ham and Palace where it wasn't on target? I can only remember City Monaco and FulhamI remember the one against Monaco in the CL, and against City a couple of seasons back. Other than that I am struggling.
I just googled it out of curiosity. In his career he has saved 9 penalties, 5 of which were with us. He has a total of 55 unsaved penalties (16 with us).
Five saves out of 21 faced for us - roughly one in four - sounds perfectly respectable to me.
No idea, was quoting Glenda's Legs stats.Is that counting friendlies?
Yup, just those couple of little steps to his right gave Willian a big target to hit and with his weight on the right foot Lloris had no chance to recover...The first one - its clear where the chel$ea players are massed in the wall, and to get the ball up and down on the near post meant he should have had that side covered for an easy catch. But on a day like today, everything they struck hit the net, and had Hugo covered the logical side, Willian would have popped it into the other corner. It wasn't a massive fuk up by Hugo, but he should have covered and saved it.
If anything I would blame the wall for the first goal. Did of if them at that end jump?
Yes, there were other shaky moments but I was referring to his involvement that led to goals really.
@DubaiSpur I don't really recall his chance to punch but happy to be corrected.

Said it before ( and upset some), he is a very good keeper but never understood the world class handle he gets from some.
You have to guess that Foster has to make more saves than Lloris because West Brom are nowhere near as good as we are. And Lloris, like all players, makes mistakes. But more often than not he is capable of amazing saves.Very much agree. Someone posted on the preivous page that he doesn't save much considering how many shots he faces. Granted he doesn't have anywhere near as much to do as someone like Ben Foster for example but how many times has he made 7 or 8 world class saves to get his team a point against us? Even when we beat WBA 4-0 it would have 10-0 if not for Foster. I can't remember any games where Lloris has made save after save.
He's one of the best keepers in the league but he makes too high profile mistakes to be considered the best in my opinion.

What about when he handled outside the area and worse still when he panicked, came out and hazard nearly went around him? Comedy capers. I don't know whether it was this or another thread, but I said a couple of weeks ago that Lloris will never be top drawer due to his mentality issue. This game was another in a long line of clutch matches where he has bottled it.
Hugo Lloris = world class
just not legendary class
in football today the man is a world class keeper no question about it IMHO
When did you ever see Clements or Banks make errors like Lloris did on Saturday? Now they were world class
I don't remember enough of clemence and never saw banks play as it not old enough
But even the very best make mistakes
Was a huge admirer of Clemence but he did make errors. Did not see him all that much when he was at Liverpoo but he had his share of clangers when he was with us, eg failing to hold long range shots. One season in particular he was relatively poor, so much so he himself publicly admitted he had allowed his standards to drop and made a point of putting in extra work during the close season to get himself back up to his previous level. The following season he was absolutely outstanding all the way through.When did you ever see Clements or Banks make errors like Lloris did on Saturday? Now they were world class
