Now, I’m not saying Forster is the answer by all means and we certainly need to prioritise a goal keeper signing in the summer, but can you see what a calm keeper does to a defence?
No flapping or kicking the ball to the opposition. No heart attack moments. Just adds a level of calmness, which obviously filters through to the defence.
Hugo Lloris is just a walking nervous wreck of a keeper and whilst i wish him the best on his recovery, i just hope Forster remains number 1 now even when he’s back. Lloris is finished as a top level keeper and at least Forster can do a job for now until the summer.
Fraser Forster

We should learn to trust more, our what is backup crew: Skipp, Forster, Sarr, and even Danjuma.
We slate our squad depthness, surely they aren't as bad as we are led to believe?

OP big Fraser has done well. He was brave going to feet for that one in the Chelsea game. Him and Lloris are like chalk and cheese with their attributes. Both have pros and cons.
I applaud the career Lloris has spent with Spurs. On his day he was truly top top class. But like all great things they inevitably come to an end.
Forster is a great no2. Finding the next Lloris is the priority for me

I`m not sure if Forster is the long term answer but we certainly need a replacement for Lloris. Hugo has another year left and is still a top keeper on his day, but has some weaknesses that the next GK needs to be better at, kicking being the main area.
The new GK needs to be good with his feet, as well as a good shot stopper, agile and commanding.
I reckon the club will let Lloris leave on his own terms, he has earned that after so many years service. He has also been a fantastic GK for us, all keepers make errors and Hugo has been no different but the good moments have far far outweighed the bad.
I think we will bring in a new GK if one we like becomes available, otherwise Hugo will see out his deal and we can spend that money elsewhere.

They aren't.
We have a bench of
Porro
Son
Danjuma
Sarr
Perisic
Lucas
It's just our CBs that have no depth. But in terms of firepower Conte should be trying to maximise this by getting the ball forward to them as much as possible or winning the ball higher up.
Romero can't keep bailing us out every week.

Something calm about Forster. Or maybe it's the fright of Lloris. Wish we signed Pope

Forster's decent but (not the first time I've noticed) he did one save yesterday that went straight back into danger - if Chelsea had a functioning striker they could've well nicked a goal. That's one thing Lloris has always been good at - he'll make a good save but he always pushes it out or wide.
Anyway yeah fair play to the big man. He'll do for now

Lloris has been a great servant but think he is probably done at Tottenham as he won’t be a back up and why should he
Back to France to finish his career in the summer maybe ?
Happy with Forster til the end of the season ….I noticed yesterday how comfortable he was off either foot , used his left more than his right it seemed

Yes correct it was a fumble but Lloris has been doing this all season. At fault for so many goals. I appreciate he’s a good servant, but he’s been a massive liability recently.

"I just think we were very, very lucky to get a player of Lloris' ability when he first signed".... Not sure that's relevant, he's now 36, has been at the club 10 years. We've seen a gradual increase in his errors & drop off in performance, as you would expect from any athlete as they get older. Great keeper and a fantastic servant but in no way a legend..... He's won nothing. The right thing to do would be to go after a long term replacement this summer

"He's won nothing"??
How about a World Cup?

Wow. I'm amazed at these comments. He's barely been tested and has yet to prove anything but you're still preferring him over Lloris? Staggering.
100% Lloris would have saved at least one of those goals against Leicester and yesterday Forster flapped at a shot and parried it directly into the six yard box. he was very fortunate Ben Davies was there to tidy up.
I think you lot have forgotten the positive parts to Lloris' game. He's a brilliant shot-stopper that has admittedly made a few errors this season. Who hasn't gone through a spell like that? De Gea went through something similar, now he's back as the commanding figure he was. For a man that has given so much to our club - he's unquestionably the greatest goalkeeper certainly of my era (or the Prem era) - yet you Forster is the better keeper? Come on!!! He's going through a bit of a bad spell, sure, but to disrespect our captain like that is crazy, and wholly inaccurate.

These comments are spot on.
Lloris has captained a World Cup winning National team.
Maybe his days are now declining...but they are NOT over. Better goal keepers are going to be very hard to find.
