    1 clean cheet in 16 games

    1 clean sheet in our last 16 games. Major problem that no one seems to be talking about. We let in crappy goals too.

    When we weren't scoring we at least were drawing due to our solid defence. That has gone now.

    We will need to strengthen at the back in the summer, as well as a DM.

    I was asked recently who i would replace, Schar or Botman. The answer is Schar, as much as I love him.

    We all know we need a top class left back.

    Gonna get slated for this, but I would consider a new keeper too. Raya? Not as good a shot stopper but still good and quality with his feet. Pope is garbage with the ball.

    Pope saved us from a hammering today but we do need a top class left back and another Centre back.

    Don't get me wrong. I do rate Pope, I just wonder if we can improve on him. He has his flaws. He's not up there with Alisson, Ederson, De Gea, or even Ramsdale.

    6th best home form. That may surprise some.

    To be fair I'd only take Ederson over Pope and it would be close.

    3-1, 4-1, 6-1 - aye, shocking we got no clean sheets there. Pope was brilliant today with his saves and I remember only one wobble playing out. He was unsighted for the first goal.
    We were beaten by a better team today and I was well impressed with their defending - we couldn’t find a way through.
    We were on the front foot all game and put in maximum effort so no complaints from me.
    We are playing teams which are about 30 transfer windows’ dealing ahead of us - bit of patience required.

    Agreed.

    I don't think it's Pope that needs looking at, at the minute.

    Really? I think Alisson is comfortably the best keeper in the league.

    We need another left back and defensive mid, that's where we start, after that some creative attacking players!
