TOTTTENHAM have been dealt a major blow with captain Hugo Lloris facing up to two months out injured.
But that’s not how all Spurs fans see things.
The Frenchman has been the club’s No.1 for more than a decade, but mistakes have crept into his game on a more frequent basis in recent months.
Lloris has made howlers against Newcastle, Aston Villa and most recently the opener in the North London derby.
His poor form has even led to calls for him to be dropped and replaced by Fraser Forster.
Regardless, Lloris has continued to keep his place, starting all-but one game in the Premier League and Champions League.

But Forster is now set to get his chance with the Telegraph reporting that Lloris is facing around six to eight weeks on the sidelines.
He sustained the injury late in Sunday’s win over Manchester City and has suffered knee ligament damage.
But not all Tottenham fans are disappointed with the news.
One said: “Advantage Spurs 🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

A second said: “Lloris out for 8 weeks? Champions League qualification is ON.”
A third chimed in with: “Might be what we need.”
Another said: “Good, he always has a clanger in him.”
A fifth said: “Top 4 confirmed with this bonus.”
If Lloris does end up being sidelined for two months, he could miss several games across three competitions, including both legs against AC Milan and some key Premier League clashes.
