Hugo Lloris is apparently \u201cpast his sell-by date\u201d after his priceless howler contrbuted to Tottenham\u2019s defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, according to Liverpool legend and pundit Graeme Sounness.<\/p>\n
Sounness accordingly laid blame on the Spurs goalkeeper following his failure to handle Douglas Luiz\u2019s long-range shot on Sunday, which gave the opportunity to Emi Buendia\u2019s opener in the subsequent 2-0 loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve said it for a long time, since the start of last season he\u2019s made four errors that have led to goals,\u201d he told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the worst record of any goalkeeper in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, he\u2019s past his sell-by date.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lloris\u2019 contract will be expiring in the summer and rumors are already swirling for some time that the club are pondering moving on from their 36-year-old club captain.<\/p>\n
Tottenham gaffter Antonio Conte admitted post-game that conceding the goal, the tenth in a row that Spurs have conceded first, could have been avoided.<\/p>\n
He stated: \u201cWe conceded a goal. In football, we know that can happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou dominate the game and then you concede a goal you can avoid. I think after this goal our feeling changed totally. I think the players felt they didn\u2019t deserve to be 1-0 down and it was difficult. Now, we have to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coming direct from mouth of the Italian serial-winning coach, that\u2019s already saying a lot.<\/p>\n
