They're under the winger category

That's the issue. They created more categories to include more names for the sake of it. There is little to none difference in playing position and playing role between players from these different categories.

Rashford, Mane, Aubameyang are pretty much playing the same position, and not different role than Gnabry who played more on the right.

Leon Goretzka and Thomas Muller are attacking midfielders by the list...

Many players got in here by popularity not because of their performance, role nor position.

Any Covid updates on Hugo?

There is no information at all on why he is a doubt for the game, but it seems like most of the press have been told Hart is likely to start.

It might be corona, we seem to be very unwilling to disclose when our players get it. Winks and Ndombele had it months ago but the club have never officially confirmed that and Doherty's case was confirmed by the Irish FA.
 
Hasn't really been put to the test this season but he's near perfect the times he has had to make challenging save or two. Hope he stays healthy throughout the remainder of the season. We are screwed if he isn't healthy.
 
The divide from Hugo as 1st choice to Gazza and Hart is too big. However, Lloris has had a great season so far. May be his best overall if he keeps it up.
 
If we set up a higher line on set pieces it gives Hugo a chance to come out and claim the ball.
 
He should have done better but so should the rest of the team. Like Joe Hart against LASK it’s very easy to criticise a goalkeeper for a mistake but the keeper is not the reason we played like shit for 30 minutes of the second half.

Goalkeeper is the last man. The further away from our own goal, the more lee way that can afford for the players to make defensive mistakes. When the outfield players not performing, the goalkeeper is needed more than ever not to make mistake. And he's our captain.

Lloris made mistake. We can just accept to move on, and hope that he doesn't make any more in this campaign. However, to excuse it and shifting the blame is digging our own grave

He made a mistake but more important than an individual mistake is the performance of the team. I’m much more concerned about our consistent inability to leave our half when under pressure than a single mistake from Lloris.

The 2 issues are not related. You can worry about the outfield players' performance, doesn't mean it's acceptable for a goalkeeper to make that individual mistake. Our whole team threw themselves out there defending, and reduced Crystal Palace chances to clutches. They didn't really challenge LLoris all that time until the free kick. The pressure Crystal Palace built doesn't make that ball 10 tons, nor traveling at bullet speed.

That free kick is very straight forward. LLoris caught in 2 minds, and left it too late to react. Can we expect the captain and an experienced goalkeeper with track trophies winning record, to deal with such situation?

Not the end of the world. Move on. Lloris was culprit in this conceding goal and shouldn't escape criticism if you choose to criticize.
