Hugo Lloris

Cheers, just seen it above.

Sometimes a penalty taker is just too good and you can get fooled but I think if the GK stands their ground during those run ups they'll save a fair few and put pressure on others to aim for the corners. Given it seems so obvious maybe there's a good reason why they don't.

it's game theory, mixed strategy is optimal, both for taker and keeper
 
He's been a fantastic player for the club are we are lucky to have had him but I think his best games are behind him and find it hard to think of any games this season or last where he won it for us as top keepers do.

he did start the season well I think, the problem is we never know when the next spill is coming

he's still probably the best keeper in the league imo, but I'd swap him for someone capable of making the saves without the mistakes

All keepers make mistakes, we just remember Lloris’s more as he plays for us. I don’t think he is any worse this season then any other for us, plenty of great saves. It’s always the same thing that lets him down which is his kicking and decision making when rushing out, but if you look at the names being banded about such as Pickford I’m not sure I would replace, for they are more prone to random errors then Lloris is.
 
He needs to be replaced. Errors are coming more often and that's on top of not being able to kick, being poor on crosses and glued to his line.
Defensive is constantly getting slaughtered but we have a joke of a keeper and no protection from the midfield, it really has to be a soul destroying experience.
