This is an old problem though...

Hucks requires a 4-3-3 because he is crap as a striker. You get people on here saying "the 4-3-3 is great" because of the end of the promotion season when we were on fire. BUT the 4-3-3 has always left us weak in midfield and vulnerable defensively (especially against teams that pass the ball well through midfield) and it looked good at the end of 03/04 only because we were playing all the sh*t teams. The only 3 decent teams we employed it against (Wigan, Palace, Sunderland) we won 1 and lost 2. I have said this before and I know it is boring but no-one has suggested how you feasibly fit Hucks into a 4-4-2 (easily the most sensible formation for most occasions). Until.someone can I will continue to reluctantly believe that for all the skill and excitement he (usually)brings he is currently at least as much of a negative as a positive to the club because we are b*ggering up our formation to accommodate him.
