Why Tottenham DROPPED Me For Hugo Lloris!

[@redzzder7951]

Brad Friedel what a goalkeeper, was brilliant for every club he played for very underrated by the general population

[@andystewart3421]

What a keeper Friedel was

[@corriearcade60]

the fact he was starting at 42 at a european PL side gets not enough attention

[@r4h4al]

Yeah, deserves respect for that.

That opening monologue from Brad about your view opening up and enjoying what will soon be the end of a chapter speaks true for so many things in life, really well put

[@TheYotsuna]

Dont blame AVB for being nervous, Friedel is a big guy.

[@mirzafazlic5661]

In the 08/09 season he got a red card vs liverpool, meaning he would miss the next game thus ending the streak, however, the red card was reviewed by the FA and he was allowed to play in the next game.

[@SwellyTheExpress]

There is a single guy at every concert in Columbus Ohio who wears an Aston Villa hat, gets shitfaced and yells that he’s brad’s cousin. I don’t even know if he is or not. Just feels like a good place to share.

Many USMNT fans regard Howard as the greatest keeper America has produced but for me it's Brad. Howard had the better US career, arguably, but Brad had the better overall career and his longevity and consistency is unmatched.

Friedel had a massive 2002 World Cup and kinda sorta retired from Int'l play afterward (Keller was the GK in 2006 and 1998).

Friedel was next level. One of the best of all time seriously. I do wonder if Liverpool had stuck with him if he may have played at Anfield for 20 years

[@iMDN94]

To say Brad was in good form when he was dropped is a bit wild, we were throwing away some leads around that time, and there were a few moments in that time where a younger keeper could have saved us some points. Lloris had to come in and play, it was right to sign him.

[@ciarandavis1651]

Yes, doesn't really see the wider picture that he was the past and Lloris was the future

[@asimpleman2779]

AVB played high defensive lines, his teams concede a lot of goals. I'd say that's more a reflection of your defenders, bare in mind AVB made Terry, Cahill, Ivanovich and Luiz look average due to his tactics.Coming from a Chelsea fan.

[@interstellarbeatteller9306]

@@614Amsterdam Sorry, but until the MLS drops the draft & adopts relegation/promotion, they can't be used in comparison. He seems smart enough to know that even Pep relies on the coaches around him.

[@614Amsterdam]

@@interstellarbeatteller9306 MLS has its own forms of nuances and systems that do mean good managers still perform. Is it directly applicable to a relegation? Maybe not. But it’s ignorant to dismiss it entirely when that’s currently the best litmus test of his ability as a coach. Furthermore, the draft is hardly a factor in MLS teams anymore. The lack of relegation means it’s easier to build a strong squad with stability. The main constraint is the salary cap + too many games for thin squads. IE. Columbus crew is currently underperforming in the league because they’re in the champions league final and had to heavily rotate their squad to maintain that.

@@614Amsterdam It's ignorant to assume I was being dismissive of the league, when I consider the MLS as hard as any league to work in, because of those nuances. Top manages could struggle there

[@Marcus-mm8yr]

This Levy imprint is what we continue to see today. AVB wanted Hulk, Willian and Moutinho. But the club gave him Dempsey, Dembele (baller) and Lloris. Levy also thought signing Gedson was just as good as signing Bruno Ferndez..we could have bought Hazard, Grealish, Tomiyasu and so many good players that different managers at Spurs asked for, but instead they were given knock off versions. No way is Vicario signing better than David Raya, glad that illusion has been cleared up! Levy has been good for developing the stadium and other supporting infrastructure but now the club needs a Perez-esque football oriented Chairman backed by a new ownership - to take Spurs to the next (trophy) level.
