Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to finish in the Premier League’s top four after the international break.
Hugo Lloris was on cloud nine when he returned to Tottenham in the summer because he had just helped France win the World Cup in Russia.
During that final against Croatia, the senior goalkeeper made a mistake that would end up filtering through his up and coming Premier League campaign with Spurs.
The 32-year-old, who has been a regular between the sticks for Mauricio Pochettino’s side this season, has produced some performances that has seen the White Hart Lane faithful question his place in the team.
From a player that was once reliable, Lloris has, unfortunately, inherited a bad habit of making a mistake at any given moment and at any given time.
Earlier on in the season, against PSV in the Champions League, he was sent off for rushing out of his area and taking out opposition attacker Hirving Lozano – PSV would go on to equalise late on.
In the Premier League, Lloris showed indecision as he conceded from a set-piece against Watford, but his blushes were saved because Spurs went on to secure all three points.
During Tottenham’s narrow defeat at home to Manchester United in January, he arguably should have saved Marcus Rashford’s low strike.
But the performance that may not sit well with the Spurs supporters the most is the one against Chelsea last month. There is no doubt that he should have saved Pedro’s opening strike and Kieran Trippier own goal was just a calamity from both parties
Either way, the club’s £7.9 million signing from Lyon in 2012 [Independent], has gone backwards from the previous campaign and if he falls any further he could find himself out of the starting XI.
