BBC pundit claims Tottenham will never lift a trophy if £8m player is playing

Tottenham Hotspur’s fantastic start to the season has started to falter after suffering a second defeat on the bounce.

Newcastle United became the first visiting team to beat Spurs since Brighton in April.

The towering defender put in another impressive performance yesterday evening.

As part of his analysis, Crooks talked about Tottenham’s current predicament.

Crooks believed a point would have been a good result, but was very critical of one Spurs player.

He believes that Tottenham won’t win a trophy while Hugo Lloris is in goal, believing he’s not a ‘top-class’ goalkeeper.

Lloris had an eventful match last night, and was involved in the main talking point of the evening.

The French ‘keeper rushed out of his area to clear away a through ball, but took an awkward first touch.

He then collided with Callum Wilson, who stood his ground as Lloris was knocked over, before the striker chipped the ball into the empty net.

A VAR check awarded the goal, before Miguel Almiron beat Lloris from a tight angle to score Newcastle’s second.

Tottenham won’t win a trophy with Lloris – Crooks

“They also need a top-class goalkeeper not a top class shot stopper. Spurs will win nothing with Hugo Lloris in goal.”

Lloris has been a mainstay in the Tottenham side for over a decade, after arriving from Lyon for £8m.

However, he’s prone to a mistake, despite as Crooks says, being a phenomenal shot stopper.

Lloris was outraged that Newcastle’s first goal stood, but should have cleared the ball with his first touch.

Tottenham have been linked with other goalkeepers in recent weeks.

Tottenham have yet to win a trophy in the time Lloris has been at the club.

Spurs’ captain would love to win some silverware before his time is up at the side, but time might be running out.
