im suprised so many people like hudd.

all he can do is hit the old good long pass or cross.

he is so unfit & has shown no motivation to get into shape & become a more mobile CM.

he is just another mid table player on our books im afraid.

Interesting point, but I think it depends on the type of opposition your playing. Bilbiao play like a typical Spanish team, short, sharp passing, and Huddlestone as the holding defensive midfielder was totally inaffective as they moved him all over the place, so in my opinion it's better too have more skillful player's such as Krankjar and Modric so we can play a simular game and work hard as a team to close space and wait for their play to break down, then launch our own attack, but I dont think you could play them both as your central midfield against most PL teams as they would be over powered by hard running, powerful midfielders, so Sandro, or Hudd's is a must as long as they can use the ball once they get it...Huddlestone has disappointed me recently as his mobility leave's a lot to be desired, he just does'nt look fit enough, so Diarra would be great if we can get him to reduce wage's ( most unlikely )...I think BaE has developed into one of the best defender's in the league, although I rather he put the ball in row z at time's in stead of twisting and turning in our own penalty area, but it show's the confidence he has, and I must admit I love to see that kind of play ( sure get's the blood pumping } but time and place come to mind.

Having not seen the game - Due to Bestman duties (scary as hell) - I had to give my tickets away!

I'm excited at hearing Niko and Luka played in midfield together, was one of them wide, a la croatia? or were they both central? , in wich case was Niko the more defensive, despite being less mobile?

I have often willed Hazza to start them both as central midfielders as it allows us to accomodate the players with the most ability, however I can acknowledge it leaves us vulnerable defensively! - interesting idea though.

Is Llorente realistic? I know he's Bilbao born and bred many exciting players they have brough through have stayed at the club there whole lives. Is Bilboa the club which will only play players from their region of spain or did that end a while ago?

Sounded like a second half full of promise?!

COYS!

Phew - you're reinstated ;-)

Lts,
My son and I were saying that watching the game. The concept of a 'hard hitting' midfielder is a bit overplayed IMHO. As long as the players have good positional sense and can break up the play, you don't need to jump in like Palacios. Didn't BAE prove that last season as well by getting in more interceptions than any other FB?
