Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham: Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris should be dropped and replaced by Paulo Gazzaniga, says Jermaine Jenas
Hugo Lloris’ latest mistake cost Tottenham a point at Liverpool, and Jermaine Jenas says it’s now time for the goalkeeper to be dropped by Mauricio Pochettino.Lloris, who captained France to World Cup success last summer, has allowed errors to become an all too frequent part of his game over the past couple of years.3

There have been calls for Lloris to be dropped following another huge error

But few have been as gutting as the glovesman’s error against Liverpool, which gifted the Reds a vital win over Pochettino’s side.Spurs had been by far the better team than Liverpool throughout the second half of Sunday’s encounter, and they really should have been leading only to see Moussa Sissoko waste a glorious chance.Nonetheless, a draw would still have been a fine result at Anfield, but Lloris made a glaring mistake that moved Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League table.Mohamed Salah’s tame header was dealt with by Lloris, but the keeper failed to hold the ball and it slipped out of his hands – only to hit Toby Alderweireld and roll into the back of the net.Getty3

Alderweireld could do nothing to stop the ball bouncing off him and into the back of the net

Though Alderweireld has been credited with the own goal, conceding the injury-time strike is entirely on Lloris’ conscience.And it’s now time for the France international to be taken out the team by Pochettino, with understudy Paulo Gazzaniga stepping up to replace him.This is according to Jenas, who played for Spurs when Lloris first joined the club seven years ago.“Lloris has been at Spurs since 2012, and he has been brilliant at times,” Jenas told BBC Sport. “We are talking about someone who won the World Cup with France last summer, who is skipper of his club and country. “He should be at the peak of his powers right now but he actually looks more nervous now than he did when he arrived from Lyon seven years ago.“When people talk about the best keepers in the world, his name always comes up – but I just don’t feel like his performances over the past couple of seasons for Spurs reflect that status, unfortunately.“Lloris seems to have a reputation based on what he has done in the past that is bigger and better than his current level, and that is a difficult scenario for his manager to deal with.“But I don’t think Pochettino will be afraid of dropping Lloris, and what might make it easier for him is having Paulo Gazzaniga as his back-up.

“Gazzaniga has played a few games for Spurs this season – 10 in total in all competitions – and has been brilliant every time I’ve seen him. He is probably thinking ‘it is time for me to get my opportunity’ and I think he should do.“As ruthless as it sounds, if I was Pochettino I would seriously be considering starting the Argentina international in Wednesday’s game against Crystal Palace.“I know it is a huge occasion because it is Tottenham’s first game at their new stadium, and it is one Lloris will no doubt feel he should be a part of.3

Lloris could miss out on playing the first match at Tottenham’s new stadium

“But Tottenham’s priority now is not about sentiment or any of their players’ personal feelings. All that matters is finishing in the top four, because getting Champions League football next season is so important for the club’s future.”Gazzaniga has made 10 appearances for Spurs this season, including two in the Premier League last September while Lloris was unavailable.The Argentina international joined the Lilywhites from Southampton in 2017, and was praised for his performances when temporarily promoted to the starting role earlier this term.
