I think a lot of it comes from the fact that he's Tom Huddlestone, who was in the Spurs and England team. So they expect to see a player that's totally amazing every week. He can't make mistakes, he can't misplace a pass and he better not have a bad game.

He does a lot of things right, but the forward brigade will tell you otherwise.

He can pass the ball nicely but with not enough sense of urgency. It's generally predictable stuff. Surprise isn't part of his game. And he's no athlete.

If he's having to drop behind the defence to collect the ball that says more about our defenders ability to play out than it does about Tom.

Others seem to manage.

We're really not a great side in possession of the ball, but Huddlestone is a player who could help us to be one if he'd just get on the ball in more useful positions.

Agreed, we don't half give the ball away a lot. Suppose this is why it's easier with Meyler in the side as he never stops running around so he's always there as an option.
 
Football isnt a game, that is meant to be passed on the spot! Which generally is what Huddlestone does, the opposition love a player who passes from the spot. It's easy work. Plus Huddlestone is so far deep, if Huddlestone misplaced a pass or is caught in possession, the other team are furthur towards there goal!.... They always say never lose the ball in your own half, Huddlestone is always so far deep, this always happens and it separates the team, in half leaving jake to do alot to help out the defenders. It's all basic stuff and Bruce isn't grasping it. Which is very worrying. Hayden seems to like to get forward and when he loses the ball, often we have had time to get back and in position.
