Easiily our best player and yet under performing on a monumental scale this season and his contributions have been minimal.

He doesn't seem to be half the player he was last season. He seems to be playing with anxiety and tension and is way off his game. Currently he doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as England.

He also looks out of shape and bulky. Especially in comparison to last year.

I wonder what the reasons could be.

- Disappointment of playing so well and missing out in the England squad twice. That being the main reason he moved here.

- Europe / FA Cup hangover.

- Home sick

- Fitness

- New player competition pressure

- Played in wrong position

- Personal Problems

Since Diame came he is playing a completely different role to that of previous. Sometimes he looks like a defender from what I 've seen on tele
 
I think Huddlestone has got too comfortable - he's got nobody challenging his place in the side - whereas I expect to see the likes of Ince bust a gut in the cup game midweek to stake a claim to be included in the Prem squad.
 
I think the main problem with our conceding of goals, lies in midfield, everything is coming through, making it hard for the defence!....I think the defence is fine in all honesty! I don't like Livermore and huddlestone playing together as they are too similar!

Midfield should be

They're rich, play in midfield, have been capped by England and both played for Spurs.

That's the beginning and end of their similarities. Totally different styles of play, strengths, weaknesses, musical taste etc.

Amen to that!

their style of play is SIMILAR not IDENTICAL, slow at getting forward, slow at getting back especially livermore! the diamond isnt working! ...i think huddlestone is a good livermore!
 
Am I the only one who wants to see 3-5-2 again?

McGregor

Chester Dawson Davies

Robertson Huddlestone/Livermore Elmo

Ramirez/Ben Arfa Diame/Ince

Jelavic Hernandez

I feel we look much better in a 3-5-2 than in a 4-4-2
