But why is it his fault that his teams were leaking goals?

And once they've leaked 3 goals, what's he supposed to do? Decline to score on the basis it won't affect the result??

Anyway, on the other point (ie all round contribution), Hucks said Earnie contributed nothing to the team except his goals, and if Hucks thinks that's a fair criticism of a striker then it's a fair criticism!
