as usual Hucks managed to be BOTH fantastic and terrible

Running at defenders he is absolutely brilliant, especially last night.

However his final pass/shot and general composure once he actually gets into the box was as usual rather hopeless 95% of the time.

So, enigmatic genius that he is, it is rather easy to both praise and criticise him in the same game.

He set up the chance for Etuhu from which teh keeper made a great save, and his sharpness got Breen sent off (though I thought Hucks had already lost control of it and wasn't likely to score).

On the other hand he had our best chance of the game in the 1st half and missed it, while in the 2nd half he (after a great run) had a tame shot from a silly angle when all he had to do was roll it across to Etuhu.

Take your pick.
