OPINION
It is clear to see that these Derby fans are not happy in the slightest with the performance of Tom Huddlestone in this 2-1 defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup on Saturday. He has been blowing hot and cold this season, and it looks like this performance is blowing cold. Huddlestone just could not seem to get into the game, and was outplayed by Brighton whenever he was on the ball. One supporter said that this display reinforces why he should never be a Premier League player, and it is hard not to agree with them on that one. He needs to perform a lot better if he were ever to get into the top-flight, as he would come up against teams like Brighton – or better – on a weekly basis. Either way, his efforts have not really helped the Rams in this clash, and overall, he needs to improve considerably.

When we play good teams that press well this is when Huddlestone becomes a liability, gets caught way too easy in possession and ultimately costs us goals. #dcfc

And that is why Huddlestone can’t be a premier league player. Way too slow and can’t defend
