So away from the emotion of post game and with time to reflect.
Its not an unreasonable thing to say that we should be looking to replace any player who has shown a consistent drop in form. Theoretically there is not a position on the pitch which cannot be improved upon (including Kane).
In reality we work within our constraints and resources. Bespoke, ready made improvements don't really exist in the market we operate in (if at all). All new player acquisitions are calculated risks and an established and integrated player will always have a number of advantages over a new signing.
Yes, there are better keepers than Lloris in the Prem, that is not disputable. Arguably two of those keepers cost near £100m between them and both have cost their teams goals / conceded penalties this season. Ederson has conceded a penalty in the last two prem games in a row!
All players make mistakes. Goalkeepers like defenders - being the last line of defensive - often suffer from being responsible for mistakes made further up the pitch. Foyths two penalties the other week are a good example of that.
Last point. Lloris has shown us a great deal of commitment through the years, it is clear he offers more to us as a player than just his ability on the pitch, his influence in the dressing room as one of the most experienced and senior squad members shouldn't be underestimated. He is also one of the only players in our squad that has actually won anything of merit.
