rewatch 4-4 v the Filth of a few seasons ago, he had several dodgy performances like that, and was rightly dropped from the team, maybe the kidology, M-Management what Harry instill's is working, massive improvement, now its up to him, work your nuts off and make yourself undroppable from the squad, I expect to see him again Tuesday.

He came back from his injury and didn't look the same player. I've said before that I rate him very highly after the performances when he first joined, and have been hoping he'd return to those days before we end up shipping him out. He was particularly outstanding in the 0-0 draw with Man United at the Lane.
However he also put in a few dodgy performances, and it looked like his head wasn't in the right place. Fingers crossed we get to see the old Hutton make a timely return.
I know! I guess it's a sign of passion, but I can think of better things to get worked up about instead of a disagreement over a choice of RB.

It's not anger mate! More frustration!
We are talking about Hutton and the RB position. Then i'm asked why i'm bringing up Corluka!?!? :bang:
I believe my first comment holds a valid argument and instead of being questioned about my points, i'm given quotes from Arda regarding Corluka.
WTF!!!!!!

I thought Kaboul had done okay - was sleeping for their goal, which has happened before - before Hutton wanted to be even more advanced, and it was exactly what we needed. He was happy to get ahead of Lennon, showed great attacking class and put in some thumping challenges.
Does he still have a future? With Corluka and Kaboul injured, I'd like to see him play on Tuesday and see how he does. Yes, he's better going forward than defensively but I think he is a competent defender and given Kaboul and Corluka have hardly been defensive rocks at right back Hutton could get in and make the spot his own.

To be fair, he was injured for their goal.

He wasnt on the floor though, was he? Having played Foley onside (along with Gallas) he needed to show a bit more strength and sharpness to stop Fletcher getting ahead of him. Maybe the injury did really hinder him, but he does have a habit of switching off as right back. Lampard's goal for Chelsea and Bendters for the scum at the back end of last season are examples fresh in my mind.

That was Harry's only criticism of him - he said he should have gone down so he could get a sub on rather than trying to hobble on.

You missed the game away vs Hull last season then. Good players can play together. They are both very good players
Hutton was excellent in his first season when he joined in January. Then he got a bad injury, played when he wasn't fully fit (4-4 arse for example), was out again with injuries and found himself behind Corluka in the team. Then by some fans he was written off, (conveniently forgetting his early Spurs career) and placed behind Kyle Walker in their eyes based on I don't know what exactly. We're talking about a Prem proven, experienced (CL) performer and a full international.
I hope he gets a chance now.

No.
Looked good at first.
Injured.
Looked suspect after injury.
Arrival of Naughton and Walker wouldn't have helped his confidence.
And a Dad Basher - that whole sad, sorry, piss-up episode wouldn't have helped his cause with 'Arry.
As Spurg says, love to get the player back that didn't look out of place at all containing United.

I was there that night and we got clapped off the field by the whole stadium just because Hull City fans wanted something to clap about. There was only one team playing so that match shouldn't be used as indicative as to how the two players compliment each other.
Hutton takes Lennon's space on the flank by overlapping him and thus negating Lennon's one weapon in his armoury - his pace to outstrip a defender in limited space.

I completely disagree with this. It is a myth used to explain poor performances by Lennon. A full back that bombs on gives defenders - who normally only have to concentrate on stopping Lennon from going "outside" to negate his game - more to worry about. They can no longer just double team Lennon. The problem is Lennon has to learn to interchange and use the "help" when required.
As Steve said; Good payers can play together. Great examples are/were Alves/Navas at Seville or Evra/Giggs or Cole/Malouda.
It's all about Lennon using his brain.

I'm yet too see evidence that they can't play together. The season we signed Hutton, Lennon was off the boil and not linking with anyone. The following season, Hutton lost his place for the season while Lennon sparkled, and this continued into last season. Yesterday, Lennon came on while button was already on, and in limited time was heavily invade in both Pav and huttons goals.
I'm no lover of Hutton, but he came on and was superb, and if he plays like that consistently there is no reason why he shouldn't work in tandem with an on form Lennon, good player playing well find a way. Just in the same way that Lennon and corluka, usually excellent together, have looked awful together as a result of both dipping in form and confidence.
I'm as biased towards Lennon as anyone, but if he plays badly, it's his fault, noone elses.
I hope Hutton builds on yesterday!

The players and coaching staff are intelligent enough to make sure this doesn't happen regularly. When Hutton's needed in games like yesterday then he can play that way. Against better sides he can defend more. Saying they 'can't' play together just isn't true. Saying it may be less than straightforward might be a truer thing to say. You can't write off the Hull game because we were excellent against a poor side. Fact is they both played that game and played very well, especially Hutton, who I don't recall getting in Lennon's way at all.

I was watching Hutton on match of the day and noticed he running just like Azza, with his hands out to the side, a bit girly if you ask me. Did anyone else notice this, or am I imagining it?
