don't get me wrong - I absolutely adore Hugo and he is a good leader - but I think Monday night was the perfect situation to illustrate why we need a street-smart captain in the centre of the park.

Ditto for the Newcastle game, and I would've liked to have heard from our captain in the aftermath.
We had this conversation Sunday in the pub after the game finished. Would making someone else captain next year be deemed as a slight to him though? He has done nothing wrong, but we need an outfield skipper. I reckon him Club Captain,and a team captain in the heart of the defence or midfield.I reckon Dier.The extra responsibility may curb some of his youthful exuberance.
Agree on Hugo, make him the elder statesman club captain.Not so sure on Dier, would prefer an older more vocal player. Never been a fan of goalkeeper team captains.
Anyone else think Hugo is exempt from criticism by a large portion of spurs fans?
In the last 4 games let's really analyse his performances:
1) was at fault for the WBA goal
2) should have done better for both Southampton goals (how exactly did Davis second one even go in).
5) let's in 5 against Newcastle.
He conceded 8 in 4 and generally looked dodgy as hell but it's like we blame everyone but him(myself included sometimes tbh). Very odd.

Dont judge the captain alone in our desastrous season finish. The whole team has let us down. Yes, the goals he conceded were a bit easy, but he saved us countless times...
It's just one of many great saves.
The captain's role in the Premier League is overrated. It used to be something important wearing the armband and it isn't anymore really. It is a small bonus for the players, but they barely contribute a difference to the games. Every single player must take more responsebility for what happened in the last few weeks.

When people tell me Hart is better than Lloris..
Hugo even has better hair, clear he's not using Head and Shoulders...
Captain fantastic. Played a huge part in France beating Germany tonight.
Now bring that trophy home, Hugo!
Edit: updated with GIFs that hopefully won't be taken down.
Put a word in, would you?

I think the opposite...
Had he won, he would've been hot property and with the medal to prove it...
As it is, he's still humble. He'll know where he's well off... he can return to the fold... and the embracing, comforting arms of Poch and his Tottenham family.
He'll stay after this... had France won, I wouldn't have been so sure...
No way was he saving that. He was literally full stretch.
