Been very impressed with Huddlestone and his impact with the attack via his two recent substitutions.
Played a big part in both game-tying goals and showed a few attributes that are closest thing we currently have to what Modric possessed -->tidy in possession & the accurate long pass.
He obviously has his limitations with his mobility and his ability to defend in that holding MF position. You saw it first-hand in the game vs City and he was exposed badly.
But he can definitely contribute in the stretch run and AVB should look to work the tactical game with a Parker/Huddlestone rotation.
Vs the quality especially away from WHL: Include Parker for his defensive prowess and ability to clean up
Vs the minnows especially Home at WHL: Include Huddlestone for the additional dynamic layer he can bring to the attack since we can sacrifice the need for defensive coverage
Both players can be rested and ultimately maximized. lets hope AVB sees this as well and we put it all together over the final 6 games
