Myhill Talks Spurs & Lloris

Goalkeeper Boaz Myhill has said that Hugo Lloris’ save from Jonas Olsson was the best he’s ever seen in person.

Speaking to the Birmingham Mail in his own post game interviews, our stopper echoed Gareth McAuley in praising the save, and described it himself as ‘the best I’ve ever seen.’

‘I think I’ve seen the best save I’ve ever seen in real life. It was an unbelievable save so from that point of view you’d have to say it was two points dropped. It was a strange game really in a lot of ways, some good bits and an unbelievable bit of quality from Lloris at the end to keep the score at 1-1. You can’t legislate for saves like that. I was stood in front of the Spurs fans and I’m kind of half turning around going ‘aren’t you going to clap that?’ because that’s one of the best I’ve seen. They must not have been able to see that far up the pitch. It was a great save and unfortunately we couldn’t get the win.’

Speaking a bit more specifically about the game itself, Myhill went on to say that he felt both sides were troubled by the conditions on the day as the wind swirled around The Hawthorns, but in many ways he felt at points it probably helped us.

‘I think the conditions were a great leveller. We couldn’t really play any good football, it was just get the ball as far away from your goal, panic and scrap to get it away. We made some good chances, they didn’t really make any chances apart from the goal they scored so from that point you could say we might have won. You’ve got to play to the elements on days like that and unfortunately we could not get the winner.’

With a long ball from them catching us out, leading to Dele Alli scoring in the match, Myhill went on to say it was largely a lottery on over hitting things with the wind behind you and underhitting them with it in front and it certainly made coming for crosses interesting.

‘Warming up before the game I didn’t know what was going on. I was practising crosses and it was just a lottery, the ball was swirling around all over the shop and it just made it hard to read really. I waited to try and work out where it was going to go and obviously one of their players has gambled and latched onto it.’

Ending he added.

‘We missed a good chance last week to win against West Ham and we might have won against Spurs so we might have more points. Unfortunately we haven’t and like I say we have to go again next week. But three unbeaten is brilliant.’
