A good "Target Man" and 2 reliable, Premier League quality Centre Backs

[Saint IQ]

I've come to the conclusion that we have been very bad at attacking since we haven't had a good target man to hold up the ball. We were good at attacking with Pelle and Lambert, pretty dire without bar the 1 Gabbiadini purple patch. So since 2016-17

 

IMO for clubs outside the top 6 wanting to get into the top half nearly everyone will need a Striker who is extremely good at holding up the ball. Only Leicester and Bournemouth seem to attack fine without

 

Then with the centre back situation we have been very bad at defending but only since last season, Fonte left poorly replaced, VVD left looking like he's been poorly replaced...

 

Vestergaard will hopefully come good but has been awful the last couple of games and clearly needs someone beside him who has pace or actual Premier League standards which Hoedt does not. (I would literally never play Hoedt for Southampton again unless it was in a back 3)

 

So basically we will never be as good as we were from 2012-2016 at attacking and defending until we have an adequate centre back pairing and a very good Target man

 

Seeing as Hughes seems the only man in Hampshire who rates Hoedt highly we are in for many more losses

 

Depressing times.

Having a target man wont help cause we still wont be able to create any thing for him to hold up / head on and finish if he is even in the box. Its up to the attacking wide players Redmond and Moi to deliver a decent ball into the box lol

Play gallagher and play yoshida please.

We had that striker, and people used to boo and jeer him. Poor Pelle.
