The flip side of that is...

That with Hucks and Earnie up front you wouldn't need an aerial threat. You'd just bang it into the channels, turn the fullbacks and let 'em rip. If Etuhu got forward behind them he'd be enough of an aerial threat for crosses.

It has to be said, though, that it's beginning to look like Worthington's poor purchases elsewhere in the side have undermined his ability to play Hucks effectively. I've had it said to me that a supersub role for him is looking increasingly likely, and I'm not sure what to think of that.
