Huddlestone is the perfect player to play in the same side as Petrov and Bent. Two players who love to play off the last man and thrive on being released early. We saw today how effectively Bent and the Hudd can be, but we also saw how well the Hudd spreads the play and he kept trying to ping it out to Routledge. A more experienced player like Petrov will find more space than Routledge and the Hudd has the ability to release him 2 or 3 times a game.
Don't get me wrong. Huddlestone is a great passer but I still have concerns regarding his lack of mobility and ball winning skills
