Have you seen the goals DA? Apparently Hudd's goal was a belter, volley from a corner?? I think I read that somewhere. I'm a fan of the bloke, he can certainly hit a ball.
I haven't seen it, but was listening on the radio. It was a free kick I believe, Bentley caugh Zagreb napping by flicking the ball sideways to the on rushing Hudd, who slammed a volley past the keeper from a reasonable distance.
I rate the Hudd too. His only problem is his pace. His passing ability is amazing and as you say, he can hit it like the best of them, and often accurately too. The European game suits him to a tee with its slower tempo and more technical style rather than the super quick end to end EPL. Having said that, he has shown glimpses in the EPL of being an excellent midfield general. He's still young, so hopefully will keep getting better and better.
The Bale stat is amazing. He did miss 3/4 of last year though. Hopefully we can continue and string a few more wins together.
I'm still chuffed with Bent too. He's a confidence player, but one of the best finishers around when he's on song. He doesn't need many chances either - he'll usually bury 2 out of 3. He doesn't hold the ball up like Berbatov or link up the play like Keano, but he finishes as well as anyone, so hopefully Modric, Bentley, Lennon and co continue creating chances.
COYS!
