So The Spurs would have conceded eight more goals this season if they had an average goalkeeper (like Neil Etheridge of Cardiff, whose xGoT differential is exactly zero, which means should save, and nothing more) between sticks instead of Lloris. In his wins over Cardiff, West Ham, Fulham, Leicester and Crystal Palace, Lloris made the difference between three points and one – at least in terms of xGoT.
He saved 78% of the shots in the season and the Spurs awarded 115 shots to their opponents in 26 games – 29 more than Chelsea.
In addition, its xGoT differential proves that it has saved a lot of chances that would normally expected to achieve goals. The graphs below show where the penalty shootout is against Lloris. The green dots indicate the backups, the red dots the goals, while the wider the point, the higher the chances of reaching a goal (the higher the xGoT is). This particular graph shows where Lloris made his stops this season and perhaps reveals a noticeable weakness.
