Over the past ten years, Lloris has been a recognisable face for Spurs. Any player who contributes consistently to a team for such a long time is granted that distinction. Lloris has played for Tottenham longer than any other player has played with their current Premier League teams. However, none have appeared in as many games for their teams as his 447 for Spurs.
Lloris was a valuable asset in goal for the north London team for many years, but during the past year or two, his performances started to decline. His mistakes crept into his play, which was more obvious than most previous season when Spurs finished seventh. Although not entirely his fault, having little trust in your custodian is not helpful for the rest of the team, especially when one error can be so expensive.
