Amazing then that Modric has outscored Huddelstone every one of the last three years.
Because this is nonsense. Huddlestone was awful against Arsenal and Chelsea - in the two games you are referring to - giving the ball away 36% of a meagre 42 attempts against Arsenal and 34% of an even more meagre 32 attempts against chelsea. He was virtually anonymous in both games, they were possibly the worst 2 performances by a central midfielder for spurs all season.
Agreed that Hudd was dreadful in some games at the back end of last season. The Arsenal game in particular was a disgrace, depsite the cracking goal.
Last season was generally a write-off for him though as injuries prevented him from building up any sort of momentum.
He will certainly have an important part to play next season, especially if Modric leaves.
Personally I can see him thriving next to Sandro as he did when he played alongside Wilson.
