Fairly certain every single spurs player touched the ball in the build up.

So Scott and John spend all summer spouting the impending doom of our season ahead, how shit we are in Europe and how that must be addressed. It is addressed and they are nowhere to be seen to congratulate the squad.
This is why melters are wankers.
I am beyond excited to get a fully fit squad back. Imagine Rose and Lamela bolstering this squads depth.
With the youngsters all getting exposure too, things are getting very exciting. I still haven't forgiven Rose yet, but hopefully he comes back with a chip on his shoulder to prove himself, because Ben Davies has been impeccable this season.

Not sure. Lloris kicked it with so much force it seems to return with lot of spin or hit a lump or twoforcing it wide.
I bet Lloris thought it was going in, got away with it.
At least he's learnt to kick through it not just try to pass it out.
Everyone except Llorente, and he made the run that opened the space for Kane to score.
16 but that includes the loose ball from Davies that Kane stole....I really need to get some work done...
Never thought the words would come out of my mouth but in certain situations he is an absolute liability....I think we should be using Vorm for both domestic cups this season, and that means the distance. None of this dropping him for Lloris if we reach the semis nonsense.
I wasn't really being serious, although you never know...Not sure. Lloris kicked it with so much force it seems to return with lot of spin or hit a lump or twoforcing it wide.

No way. His kicking is shite, granted. But he's superior to Vorm in every other respect. Vorm is great to have around and doesn't moan but if we're in a semi final against Chelsea again, Hugo plays.
Well it's a shame that kicking the ball under pressure is an huge part of goalkeeping
Perhaps the advantage of Vorm in domestic cups is giving Hugo time to work on his kicking and control without compromising his other training. I rate him but I guess as the rest of the squad improves, players who were once the shining light tend to not shine so bright.
Fuck me that sounds depressing... I'm not wanting to get on his back as he has saved us countless times but his mistakes are generally more costly than anyone else's on the pitch.
It doesn't overshadow the rest of his attributes though. He's just bad at kicking. Same way Son can't tackle. It doesn't neutralise the rest of his makeup.
The life of a goalkeeper. They make one mistake in a whole game and they are vilified and ridiculed. A player can misplace 10 passes in a game and it may never even get a mention. Poor bastards.
It's scary how much of the modern game is kicking/passing under pressure. I expect keepers in the future will know this and be exceptional on the ball.
Without going on a witch-hunt it's the nature of the beast, Son can close down and get his body in the way, he doesn't have to upend every player. Lloris does have to control, kick and pass under pressure. He is the last line of defence and the way we build from the back requires this. I hear what you're saying about one mistake but there are normally a few dodgy moments in each game so it's not fixating on one single event.
I believe great keepers are judged on their consistency and lack of errors more than awesome saves. For me Seaman was never a flashy keeper but in his very long peak he was very steady. Look a Calamity James, on his day incredible but too many fuck ups, like Bosnich meant he was never that highly rated.
Hugo made a huge howler last night and got away with it but also did a few pretty good saves. Realistically there is no better goalkeeper currently playing we could replace him with.
We're living in a world where Joe fucking Hart is somehow still England's first choice goalkeeper. We should count ourselves lucky.
