Another player who I barely see get talked about is Guerreiro the Dortmund LB. Not perfect, think he prefers going forwards, but would still be an immense upgrade on Rose/Davies.

Like I said, Hugo’s stats in general are excellent, the whole team has made horrible mistakes this season and Hugo does not deserve to be singled out. With a limited budget there are areas we need to focus on much more urgently if we are going to win matches consistently. Spending £70m on a new keeper and nothing on the midfield would see us finish in mid table, our keeper is not the reason we are unable to play proper football.
Yeah, they are comparable in a lot of areas, but I would rather have Kai than Alli in all honesty. I feel he has more control of the ball at his feet and is just more of an all around footballer. But that isn't happening so may as well just let Kai go to whomever grabs him.

Over the years Hugo has made some outstanding saves and saved us games/points, but he is also prone to blunders occasionally which has caused the reverse.
Although your right that the team has been shit this season, a new keeper is a requirement soon I feel, but as for £70m the club won't spend that on the team let alone one position.
The midfield isn't right and the entire back four isn't good enough, that is going to take time and money both of which are in short supply these days.
Our keeper, our defence and our defensive midfield are the reason.
Hugo stat's? Wht is the stat for trying to do dragbacks on your own goal line? Or injuring yourself because you can't jump properly? Or conceding 7 at home in the CL? How does any of that make "excellent" reading.
We don't have a single goalkeeper we can trust.
Yes our defence is shit, Jose's solution, give a contract jackpot to a player in the worst form of his life and getting worse every month.
But hey, I read an article yesterday where Jose said he could solve our defensive problems "no worries" but he'd have to sacrifice our attack to do so, so we're just hanging on Jose getting the balance correct!
We talk of nothing else at mine. I said to my wife at dinner last night: "I wonder what Guerreiro is up to this weekend?"
I wish our lot would stop bangin' on about him tbh... It's relentless.
Thank God for lockdown so we can go over his highlights properly.
I think Jose was worried about going ultra defensive because he thought the backlash would come.
But I think we did need to go that way for a while at least until confidence had been gained, before the lockdown our form was truly shocking with the team not being able to defend for shit.
Let's hope now it's like a pre season, with work being done on both the physical and mental side of the training, became it certainly needs it if we are to resurrect something from this shit season.

We aren't top 6 though...
Leicester, Wolves and.....? : P
I had the impression he was always injured.... Not so much:
Joshua King - Injury history
This is the injury history of Joshua King from FC Watford. On this page injuries as well as suspensions.
Turns out he just doesn't score very much in a team fabled as being "attacking:.
EPL APP: 154
Goals: 46 (12)
= 1 in 3.3

Wherever he goes he'll be signing for splinters.... Crazy to think that a few windows' back he and Wilson were both being touted as being 'worth' £70m.

How high on our list of priorities is this though, yes we have needed back up for a while, but hasn't the absence of a DM and the porous defence now considered a priority.Leicester, Wolves and.....? : P

I’d take Ward-Prowse. It would be nice to have someone who can take a free kick and put the ball in the net for a change. I know Eriksen could do that for the Danish National team, but most of his efforts for us were an exercise in frustration!
Danny Ings all day, works his knackers off and now he has found where the goal is as well.
Absolutely, I said as much (specifically about a DM) in January... Even with Harry on the sidelines.
There are goals in the team, but how many games this season have we put ourselves on the back-foot by conceding first?
(I'd say most without checking....)
James Ward-Prowse - All goals (Detailed view)
This is the goal statistic of James Ward-Prowse of FC Southampton. This statistic shows how (right footed, left footed, header etc.) the player scored his goals.
4 FK goals since 2015... Aside from that we already have 4 players who play in his position.
Far more pressing needs.
