Hodgson has hardly had a lot of money available to buy players. Of the 8 players acquired whilst he has been in charge, 3 have cost money, 3 have been Free and 2 have been on loan.And any players acquired this window will either be on a free or on loan.This is the reality of the situation. Spend spend spend, is that everyone's answer all the time, or you could just justify your 3 million a year and do the best with what you're got, which includes a 30 million pound striker, 30 million pound defender and zaha who is frequently reconigsed as the best player outside the top 6. Plus Townsend an England international, wan bissaka arguably the best young full back in the world. Plus numerous other internationals. I'm sure hodgson knows enough and has been around the block but let's not kid ourselves he's not doing a good job. Edited by rikz (14 Jan 2019 10.27pm)

Well not a surprise when you stick 2 wingers up top in a 442 We remind me of Hoddle 532, Townsend and Zaha are neither either at the moment, it's as if they come in as wingers and play the ball to each other and the resulting chaos occasionally creates an excellent opportunity.

Zaha had enough chances to score three on Saturday quite easily really.

If McArthur had actually put the ball in like he should have to make it 2-1 and then Watford still managed to get another would Hodgson still have had a bad game?

I'm sure if he could he would love to bring in Jesus or Salah, but seeing as he is such a bad manager what would be the point.
