Take note AVB... Fans give their verdict on Lloris v Friedel

posted: 8 months ago

Friedel Spurs

Who should Tottenham Hotspur play in goal this weekend? We put it out to the fans earlier this week to ask...

Didier Deschamps caused up quite a stir with his comments about Hugo Lloris being unhappy before he has even kicked a ball at Spurs.

However if he was simply expecting Brad Friedel to step aside he may be mistaken, with the 41-year-old in fine form.

Tottenham play Reading at the Madejski on Sunday, and it will be an interesting test for the North London club who remain without a win.

All eyes will be on who is selected to play in goal, so we put a poll up on our website to gauge supporter opinion.

Here are the results:

Brad Friedel - 41 per cent

Hugo Lloris - 59 per cent

And here are some comments from supporters...

"Lloris is world-class while Friedel is a solid second-tier goalkeeper. It will take less than month for AVB to realize that the idea of having Friedel #1 is ridiculous."

"Friedel is a good goalkeeper but I consider Hugo Lloris better still, He is younger, taller and more agile and does leave his goal line to pounce on a loose ball or to intercept a cross which Friedel rarely does."

"You don't become captain of one of the world's top teams at 25 just for looking fashionably Gallic -- it's unacceptable to keep him on the mantel piece indefinitely as a trophy reserve."

We'll have to wait and see what the always unpredictable Andre Villas-Boas decides to do on Sunday - Where do you stand on the debate?
