Lloris IMO is a top keeper but if he has a flaw it's his kicking. His kicks from the floor are a bit wayward more often than not. I wonder what his golf handicap is?
I can't find the article anywhere mate.Do you have a link to the Q&A? Cheers.
Don't compare a world class keeper to average at best keepers... If anything compare him to players like Buffon, Casillas and Neuer...He plays as well as you could expect a guy to for his age. If he continues as he is without any more serious incidents (head injury thing) then he'll do well. He doesn't seem to be the tallest/bulkiest figure in goal, but that doesn't seem to affect him at all.
I'm divided as to whether his rushing out is a liability or a strength at times, but can't argue with his ability to react to a deflection or surprise shot/header.
Considering that goalkeepers tend not to peak until their 30's, he's got a great future.
I always think about what Brad was like in his 20's and how he seemed to peak in mid to late 30's. David James was a bit like that too.

Absolute strength. Off his line so quick if forces the attackers hand. Attacker fluffs it more often than not.
