Ex-Spurs Player Hugo Lloris

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Who thinks Mourinho should give Lloris a gun, which he can hide in the back of his shorts, but only partially obscured?
Could be useful if we go 1 down against Bournemouth, no? Players need all the motivation they can get, that's my thinking.
 
A bollocking that involved the captain pushing Son and still trying to confront him after the other players had stepped in.

That's not a good standard to set.



Would Kane have answered back?

That's working on the assumption that Lloris would have criticised Kane in the first place and I don't think he would have done.

Maybe Lloris spoke to Son in a way that Son felt was out of order and he decided to stand up for himself.

More speculation. Who knows?

All we know for certain is that Lloris pushed one of his own team-mates and tried to continue the confrontation on the pitch after the players had intervened.

Some people think this is beautiful or a captain showing passion and doing his job.

I think it was unprofessional and not an appropriate response to someone answering back.

It should have been dealt with in the dressing room and not in front of the cameras.
All we know for certain as well is that Son didn’t like the idea of being told off by someone in a higher rank than him in the team as well though. See how your hypothetical question kinda falls flat about Hugo not doing to Kane?

Sonny didn’t do his job, got grilled for it, that’s life, that’s football. Or would you have preferred that didn’t happen and we faced a similar kind of outcome to what we did vs Sheffield United?

Also, I just need to say..... I genuinely can’t believe that this has been blown up how it is or has been. It’s a sport, you compete to win it ain’t a skipping contest or a beauty pageant. I hope to see many more bollockings along the way as this team has a milky spine.
 
All those rallying behind Sonny; his mouth almost certainly got the better of him. Hugo's not a rowdy geezer, but we know Sonny is prone to a little red mist and you could see him gesticulating at Hugo even before the half-time whistle....

Take a roasting from your captain on the chin and move on.

They've since kissed and made up... Can we now move on too(*)?


(*Except the Sonny fanbois... They're still spamming me with kisses. 😘 )

If you want to move on, stop posting sh!t like this to instigate fans here.

You calling Sonny's fans "Sonny fanbois" in condescending tone, and act like you are better, but You are no different.

You do exact same thing that you criticize some of those fans do here.
 
Right.

Shoving back and forth between hyper competitive athletes is bound to happen. It's not a big deal.
This makes me laugh. They both acted utterly appropriately as long as Son takes it on board it's a good thing. Then they hugged it out. Some people acting butt hurt on Sonnys behalf like Lori's wanted to deflower his sister is hilarious. I want the players like this we need MORE of this. Who is going to start on Aurier cant come quickly enough.

I love Sonny; he's great.... Very few here are fanbois (I don't perceive you to be one for instance)... You seem to not understand the distinction.

With my closing comment I'm communicating to a handfull of fans that claim some kind of racist conspiracy within our fanbase (which is more than a bit offensive and inflamatory tbh!)... If you're not a fanboi and don't behave like that then you needn't be offended by my acknowledging them and the fact that I woke up to 1 of them spamming all my posts with disagrees..

The rest of my post was a rationale of the Hugo/Son dynamic and is 100% on topic.
 
My point about your avatar is that it seems you may understand/enjoy the physical confrontation that occurs within the game regardless of whether its the same team or not.

What I enjoy is seeing someone stand up to a nasty, dirty little shit like Billy Bremner.

Bremner was deliberately targeting the leg that Mackay had broken on two occasions and he quickly learned that you don't mess with Dave Mackay.

A captain pushing one of his own team-mates and still trying to get at him after other players have intervened is a completely different situation.

Yet you equate Dier invading the crowd with the intent of dispensing 'justice' to a fan is the same as Pat Cash giving his mum & nan a cuddle after winning Wimbledon. :mourloopy:

No, you don't know that for certain.

You don't know what Lloris said to him.

It may not have been the point Lloris was making that Son objected to; it could have been the way he made the point.

All we know for certain is that the captain pushed one of his own team-mates and was still trying to get at him once other players had stepped in to intervene.
 
Do people remember when the debate was is Hugo still good enough for us? Should he still be captain? Pretty clear why he is captain now, we would be lost without him

Agreed.

He's almost become underrated amongst Spurs fans because of the way they seem to go for his head if he makes a mistake.

Domestically, we've only lost 3 games in which Lloris has started and played a full 90 minutes in this season. They were at home to Newcastle, away at Chelsea and most recently away at Sheffield United.

The other 10 games we've lost domestically have seen Gazzaniga or Vorm involved.

Domestically, Spurs have kept 8 cleansheets this season. Lloris has been in goal for 5 of them. Gazzaniga keeping the other 3, one of which came in the League Cup against Colchester.

I do wonder how better off we may have been if we didn't lose Lloris to injury and if he was here for the first 11 Mourinho games where Gazzaniga was looking shaky and let in some really soft goals.

He has the label of making mistakes , but Leno/Alisson have made more mistakes than him and are lauded for their consistency.

Its really unfair because so many people have this perception of Lloris which just isn't true..
