Lol I actually played professional goalkeeper and you sound like a toddlerGazzanigga is terrible at penalties otherwise he's ok. Don't Spurs have a goalkeeping coach that can teach him to wait for it to be kicked and then dive where the ball went???
Tell it how it is why don’t you lol....He deserves nothing. This is why we are a loser team. He is paid 100k's a week to be the best. If he makes idiotic mistakes (and this is the 8th time he has cost us a goal) he should be dropped. FUCK HIM.
Poch needs to show some fucking balls. This whole squad think they are untouchable - no new players and a weak manager have seen to that.
Harry Kane dictating when he comes back from injury, ruining Son in the process.
The whole thing is a fucking shit show.
I'm not entirely sure about that. Poch seems to have a fantastic bond with guys who buy into his philosophy, but I think he can also be cut throat when necessary.Whilst I would be very open to us moving on from Hugo this Summer and investing in a young promising goalkeeper such as Onana from Ajax, I honestly think the chances of it happening are slim to none. Him and Poch seem to have an unbreakable relationship, and I reckon as long as Poch is our manager, Hugo will be our keeper.
I really don't think Gazzaniga is the the answer either unfortunately. Sure he's looked good in the odd appearance here and there, but play him week in week out and he would be shown up badly IMV.
Massive difference between Hugo and Mason though mate. Mason was a squad player, wasn't our captain and crucially he wanted to leave for a finish to get guaranteed game time. Also while Poch clearly was very fond of him, his relationship with Poch wasn't nearly as strong as Hugo's is.I'm not entirely sure about that. Poch seems to have a fantastic bond with guys who buy into his philosophy, but I think he can also be cut throat when necessary.
Case in point: I think Ryan Mason would have stayed around as a squad option if Poch had let his heart rule over his head.
Based on what evidence?Whilst I would be very open to us moving on from Hugo this Summer and investing in a young promising goalkeeper such as Onana from Ajax, I honestly think the chances of it happening are slim to none.

Who did you play for ?Lol I actually played professional goalkeeper and you sound like a toddler
"Keeper makes a save shocker"We all remember the Salah screw up, but forget the TAA cross-come-shot that Lloris tipped over. I've a feeling it would have gone in or hit the bar at least.
Plays tomorrow. No doubt.
If he did that, chances are he wouldn't save the penalties as they would be past him before he could really react. In all honesty, a penalty should be a goal.Gazzanigga is terrible at penalties otherwise he's ok. Don't Spurs have a goalkeeping coach that can teach him to wait for it to be kicked and then dive where the ball went???
"Keeper makes a save shocker"
The biggest pish ever posted is the line "Saves us more than he lets in". That's the basic job of a goalkeeper. If he let in more than he saves, he wouldn't be a footballer.
And yet it's amazing how many managers do appoint keepers as captains. Look at the number of keepers who have been International captains, as well as those club captains. Hmmm - maybe managers know more about their players than you do? Who'd have thought it.Agreed.
No they don't tend to be forgotten, it's what a keeper's basic job is. Why do you think a goalkeeper is the only player on the pitch allowed to use his hands?He's our last line of defence and if he screws up, often it results in a goal.
Of course the mistake was awful. However he's saved us innumerable times as well (these tend to be forgotten or ridiculed with "keeper makes a save" straplines)
Plays tomorrow.
Evidence of what? Hugo's strong relationship with Poch or Gazza not being good enough to be our future number 1?Based on what evidence?
