Joel Robles

My only despair is that this was an easily winnable game despite the circumstances. Lukaku is exactly the type of player a high line doesn't want to deal with. Give him opportunities and I guarantee we win this game. Robles took that chance away from us as well as poor play from Gana, Barry, Schneids, Williams and Mori. Still- Tottenham should have won and they did. Not surprised.

True but should have done better with Kane's first goal and a top keeper needs to judge whether it's safe to roll the ball to certain players. Think Spurs had about 4 players up to press Schneiderlin and Williams for the second goal.

He did keep the score down but his main error for the second goal let him down today. I expect him going back to normal next week. I honestly think Stek would not have done much more than him today.

The one we're Ghana let him run into space , and the pathetic Barry turned side on blocking his view to let the shot come in you mean?
 

The most concerning thing for me is his habit of jumping up outside the 6 yard box when a shot is coming. Eriksen almost scuffed it into the corner because he is too far up. Also caused the RS winner because he couldn't grab Sturridge's trickler
 
Robles is massively at fault for that second goal, no defence at all for it.

No matter how much Schneiderlin wants the ball it's up to Robles to assess the situation and not give it. Robles could see everything happening behind Schneiderlin and still chose to roll it out. It was a shambles from that point on like.

Who's to say he did not ask for the ball?

He has been really solid but has also been well protected by a defence that allowed few chances to the weaker teams.
Today was his chance to show he's good enough to be No 1 next season and he choked. He'll have another 3 away to top 6 teams and if he doesn't greatly improve in them he'll be replaced by a summer buy like Pickford.

He's pulled out a number of good saves because he has Mori and Williams in front of him every week. He's been the catalyst to our improved goals conceded column not them 2 in front of him who by the way also failed miserably today.

I don't rate Lloris as high as some. That's probably why he's playing for Spurs and not PSG/City/Barcelona. Spurs have a mental block as well, it's just nowhere near as chronic as ours.

Robles' only two errors in last few games? Home to Liverpool and away to Spurs. Funny that. Complete coincidence that they happened in the games that make up the 7 fixtures a season we can't compete in.

He's not at De Gea level but personally would have Lloris above any other keeper in the league other than perhaps Courtois.

Fair point about Liverpool game but Joel's been in goal for other teams in the top 6 and not made similar ricks, just think it too early to write him off as a bottler in big games, especially as he has yet to have a full season as the #1.
