I think Lloris might be the anti-Sandro in terms of value to Spurs TV. He's got the personality of a high school English teacher.
Fortunately his footballing does the talking for him.
I think this speaks absolute volumes as to why Deschamps has him captain of France, he hates any potential morale problem, so squad without Nasri and Ribery was ideal for him at world cup.
Hugo will do as he is told and put in a professional performance every week regardless of whats going on, great for a little napoleon control freak like Didier.
Looked like he wanted to murder someone after the match today. Poor guy doesn't deserve the shit put out in front of him today.
To be fair to Levy, for every Paulinho there is a Lloris.... also in starting this thread I claim responsibility.
#WorldClass ... Wait. Even that doesn't do justice ... He's #UniversalClass
Feel bad taking the focus off Lloris but in each one of those GIFS Chiriches is just doing something awful.
No words. If he was as good up front as he is in goal, Real would have bought him for £100 million already. Absolutely incredible performance, both as a keeper and as captain. One of the best players to ever wear the shirt, but that probably won't get recognised because he's a goalkeeper.
Absolutely awesome display - thank you Hugo
Hugo is the best keeper Spurs have had in my lifetime, and when he inevitably leaves for Spain/somewhere better end of this season or next, I'll always wonder why we didn't build an amazing defence around him, rather than an injured Kaboul, passed-it Dawson, amateur Naughton and Rose etc
What could have been!

Don't think you're being fair on Kaboul particularly. He's been out for god knows how long, struggled back and is just starting to show signs again of what we all (well me anyway) thought he could be 3 years ago
Can't think of too many players who have played more games than Kaboul this season, no sign of any injury to me and off the back of a MOTM performance where he didn't put a foot wrong. Dawson has left the club. Naughton and Rose are arguably our most improved players this season.
We have bought in Davies and Europa League cup winning Captain Fazio to strengthen defence so I have to say I don't agree with you at all.
It's more that his first couple of seasons with Hugo were plagued by that long term injury and therefore we gave games to Dawson and Gallas.
Naughton and Rose have improved immeasurably this season, but we've not bought a defender as class as Jan (who knows if Fazio will be this good? I have high hopes) the point was more that we can attract top quality defenders, but aren't.
My point was also that this is Hugo's third season. Things have improved a bit this year, but last night's display just made me feel sorry for him (and loads of drubbings last year).
