$100M keeper is our only option I guessI like Gazza and think he deserves a run but he's got a gaff in him also but his kicking is 100% better then Hugo's and it suits out style

Always been an athletic keeper he's not aging well IMO he makes less and less world class saves to cover up his gaffs. And he has a worrying habit of fucking up in big games. He's the worst of the current top 5 keepers and we should be looking at upgrading on him.
Lets not get TOO crazy, no one is taking Leno over Hugo. While I agree Hugo’s had a tough season, who are we upgrading too, realistically?
Sell Hugo, buy Cillessen.Lets not get TOO crazy, no one is taking Leno over Hugo. While I agree Hugo’s had a tough season, who are we upgrading too, realistically?
Hugo and the defence always lack a leader and solidity when Jan not around
No need to fucking sell him

I'm one of his biggest supporters but last night he was poor.
Goal 1. He deserved better protection from Alderwiereld. However should have stopped the shot.
Goal 2. He can see what's going on in front of him rather then Trippier seeing what's happening behind him. He should have taken control of the situation and cleared the ball out and taken Trippier with it, if necessary.
Even having said all this he remains our number 1 keeper. Plays at the weekend without a doubt.
And there lies our biggest issue IMO to many players are selected even though they play shit in this team because we don't have any choice. Lloris knows he won't get dropped.even though he's been our second best keeper so what's the reason to play better? Same goes for Eriksen and Trips, both been poor this season but there ain't a back up for Eriksen and Poch seems reluctant to play Aurier despite IMO he's had a better season then Trips
Wasn't at fault for the first goal, that was all on Toby. Was at fault for the second goal because of that God awful starting position and indecision when the ball is around 30 yards out.
Funny because I see it completely the opposite.
Toby got turned with a nice touch that can happen to anyone, but Hugo should not be getting beaten at his near post like that.
As for the second, I feel Trippier forced Hugo to come when he didn't need to. Granted Hugo's starting position wasn't ideal, but that ball was for the defender to deal with. Tripps signalling for the ball to run through to Hugo was a mistake, as was then trying to play it back to the keeper without knowing where he was.
Toby got turned because he has a weakness to a pacy player not taking him on the outside. Pedro hadn't even got control of the ball. By the time Pedro shot he was at the edge of the six yard box.
All Toby had to do was hold him up while Dav came across. Utter schoolboy defending by the modern day saint who cannot be blamed...
Toby rushed in to close down the shot. Pedro takes one touch back inside and Toby flies past him.
It's difficult to know where to stop when a player is through like that, ideally you get between the player and the goal, but running in at pace it's too easy to be sent the wrong way as Toby was. Alternatively, you run in to hold up the player and he just carries on past you.
Danny “I wanted out” Rose?Our captain should be Danny fucking Rose or Vertonghen, only possible choices.
