‘We need to be brave’ – Tottenham Hotspur fans think a big change could happen after the win over Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is used to selection headaches but this one might be the biggest during his tenure so far.Hugo Lloris might be a World Cup winner following his Russian excursion with France last summer but he now faces a real battle to retain his No.1 jersey with Spurs.3

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino may be forced into a tough decision by Paulo Gazzaniga.

Prior to this season, Paulo Gazzaniga was regarded as a basic No.3 goalkeeper, someone capable in case of emergencies – as he proved against Crystal Palace in 2017, keeping a clean sheet in a shaky 1-0 win at Wembley.He looked a bag of nerves, despite going on to win the Man of the Match award for keeping the Eagles at bay.3

Paulo Gazzaniga put on a fine display against Chelsea

Now, though, he’s usurped the at-points calamitous Michel Vorm into the No.2 slot and is running Lloris close after another fine display between the sticks.Tottenham have now won all nine matches he’s started and he’s managed to keep clean sheets against Arsenal and Chelsea – allaying fears about how he would fair against top class opposition.

Paulo Gazzaniga's matches for Tottenham

1. Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Crystal Palace
2. Brighton & Hove Albion 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
3. Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Watford (won 4-2 on penalties)
4. Huddersfield 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur
5. West Ham United 1-3 Tottenham Hotspur
6. Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 PSV Eindhoven
7. Arsenal 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur
8. Tranmere 0-7 Tottenham Hotspur
9. Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Chelsea

Over the course of the matches he’s been able to display all the relevant attributes too, saving two penalties in the Carabao Cup against Watford, holding his nerve in a make-or-break Champions League tie with PSV Eindhoven, subduing world class strikers in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette and showing his ball-playing ability across all the matches.Against Chelsea his poise, composure, and confidence shown as Spurs rolled the ball around their defence at Wembley attempting to lure his opponents with the help of Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez.3

Hugo Lloris now has some serious pressure on his role at Spurs.

This ball-playing element has previously been an issue with Lloris, who lacks the calmness and the skill to perform this role.The Frenchman proved it on the biggest stage of all thanks to his comical error against Croatia in the World Cup 2018 final and, after costly errors against PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona in the Champions League, his displays are certainly under scrutiny.He will remain No.1 in the Premier League while Gazzaniga gets cup contests to showcase his abilities and supporters, like the ones below, will continue to ponder the future of the goalkeeping position in north London.

When do we start seriously asking the question about Gazzaniga and Lloris?— The Tottenham Way (@TheTottenhamWay) January 8, 2019

Gazzaniga is 26 years old. If we're to get him at his peak we need to be brave and make him number 1 now. Lloris has been a loyal servant to the jersey but I feel his time is up. #COYS #gazzaniga #Tottenham— For the love of Spurs (@LoveofSpurs) January 9, 2019

When are we going to properly consider Gazzaniga starting over Lloris? #thfc— Hotspur Edition (@HotspurEdition) January 8, 2019

Really starting to think Lloris needs to move aside for Gazzaniga. Hes been outstanding as of late while Hugos clangers seem to be coming more often— Joe Hunt (@JoeyWinkle) January 8, 2019

Said the other day players should be playing on merit. Appreciate what Lloris has done for us over the years, but surely cant be long until Gazzaniga is our number one? Nine games, nine wins, five conceded. Clean sheets v Arsenal & Chelsea. Feel comfortable having him in goal.— Noz Ahmed (@NozAhmed) January 9, 2019

Gazzaniga > lloris I cant lie— Jack (@jackwenlock1) January 8, 2019

Gazzaniga 8cms taller than Lloris. Lloris would have not made that amazing deflected shot save due to his lack of height. Gazza has very sticky fingers and is an overall better footballer than Lloris. He also oozes confidence. Loving Gazza! https://t.co/q2KSDzPU4I— Mike Clark (@mikeyycee) January 9, 2019

Gazzaniga gives something Hugo never has, release of pressure with an accurate long ball. Not every time, but certainly better with his feet than Lloris. #thfc #COYS— Adam Hooper (@Spur81) January 8, 2019

I think the Gazzaniga > Lloris calls are premature, *but* it's lovely to have a viable second keeper since… Lloris was briefly our second keeper?— Chris Miller (@WindyCOYS) January 8, 2019
