Relevant to Spurs - France being irrelevant
Ok, that's what I meant as well, hence 3 games, but it's not important.

I suppose. But maybe it's because he doesn't play a lot. I was trying to think of any match saving saves he's made.
'That save form Vorm, that kept us in the match'
Just looked at the games he played in so maybe being a bit unfair. Then again Pochettino didn't even use him consistently in EL.
1-0 loss to Besiktas
4-3 win v LCFC
0-0 with Burnley
0-1 loss to Villa
1- 3 win v Newcastle
1-0 loss to Man U
1-1 fiorentina
1-1 Everton
8 goals conceded in 8 games 3 losses, 2 wins and 3 draws. Only 6 league games (5 & 2/3 )

I never really remember him being that good for Swansea, and I think I read a stat the other day that said that Fabianski (his replacement of sorts) is one of the top ranking keepers of the last 2 seasons.
To be fair to him, we got to the final of the League cup in part because of him, and he hasn't really played much to say that he has had a chance to stick in the memory.
I think Lloris is reliable, so much so that we forget what it's like to have a terrible keeper. I guess we'll find out over the next few games if Vorm is a decent stand in.
As number two goal keeper Vorm is decent. He could be a No 1 keeper in probably half the teams in the prem.
Hugo will be missed for his Captaincy as much as his ability as a keeper. He is always a calm influence on the pitch and whilst not the most vocal of players, he gets how we play and is integral to that. He appears very close to Poch as he is too Deschamps. It is widely rumoured that Lloris is so influential in the French team that he has a say in who should be in the squad. Nothing to suggest his influence is of that nature with us but listening talk there is no question his presence is massively influential.
I don't know much about Vorm's character and how he fits into the team but as one of the eldest players in the squad I hope he can step up lead this young team, even if he is not wearing a Captain's arm band.

Vorm's debut for Swansea, despite the 4-0 loss to Citeh, was one of the best performances from a keeper in the premier league. Some of the saves he made that night were incredible, most notably the one from Toure's free kick. He's not at that level now, but hopefully he's still at a high enough level that we'll not notice the loss of Huggie too much.
Not that it's great, but why am I not surprised that Hugo's drawing is definitely the most accurate...
“He’s very good,” said the manager. “It’s difficult for Saturday [against Liverpool] but it’s sure that after the international break he’s with us again and available for the team.
“We’re happy because it wasn’t a big issue, his injury, and we believe and we think he’s available very soon. He’s not available to play [for France], he’ll stay with us in the next two weeks.”

Njie?
I bet he does... he knows he 'only' has to face Janssen this evening!!
...talking of which, wouldn't it be great if Poch had already had a word with Hugo, to "Be a bit creatively charitable" with his saves tonight whenever Vincent has a shot... (if you catch my drift) ...y'know, give the lad some confidence going into the weekend!
Now that would be tactical mind-games!
Well now you've done it...
:lloris:
Slow handclaps in your general direction if it now happens on Saturday!
I thought we were keeping it under the radar, and only mentioning it in May?!
Looks like France were playing Rush goalie......I bet he does... he knows he 'only' has to face Janssen this evening!!
