Elite goal scorer. We are lucky to him.
One thing that has started to frustrate me sometimes about him is how scared he seems to be of any physical challenge. Not only doesn't he even try on 50/50 challenges, he even pulls out of 60 or 70/30 duels in his favour. I don't normally care about this, it isn't his game and normally it isn't that important anyway. But he is missing out on extra goals by not challenging for loose balls near the penalty area.
Against the spuds, early in the 2nd half, Lloris messed up and passed the ball in the direction of Auba. It seemed to me he got there before the covering Spud defender with a half an open goal, don't know really what happened after that. To me it seemed he was so frightened of being clattered he had no conviction to really go for it.
