Our Centre Halves
« on: December 01, 2010, 09:56:50 PM »
Whilst I dont blame Houllier for our current run, he surely must have some influence in why our central defensive partnership has gone from rock solid last season to bloody awful this season.

Dunne is a totally different player..overweight, slow ( I know he was never quick but...) and makes more mistakes every game.
Collins has also had a bad season thus far although his slump is not on the scale of Dunne.

Carlos must be sitting on the sideline and wondering what he must have to do to get a game. I know he has had injuries but he has surely gotta start now.

Did MON have a particularly good defensive coach?? The change in a few months for two of our previously solid players is drastic. I realise that the midfield in front of them is a lot more lightweight than last season but its more than that surely?

In fairness Cuellar has just come back from injury, but he must be played. Dunne cannot continue playing like this, and Collins has been rubbish for a weeks now.

Dunne is a carthorse.  Absolutley shocking and costs us a goal every game.

What worries me though is Cuellar wasn't injured a while ago and still wasn't getting picked.

Clark will eventually play there when our midfield come back from injury, I agree that Dunne is not the player he was a year ago and what was Collins doing at the end giving away stupid fouls??

He should have dropped that useless get Dunne long before tonight. I think I'd just about have Davies back over that him and that is no reflection on Davies.

Collins has regressed.

I definitely have Cuellar in for fatso and maybe Clark dropping back from midfield.

If Nige is fit again that should work.

We have two great playmakers on our coaching staff BUT no defender and that might be an area we need to shape up.

Dunne must be sold.

He is absolutely shit. We can't have ago at Collins, his partner is shite.

Houllier has too see how shit he is.

Did we lose to Blues or something ?

Cuellar has not been fit all season with various niggles, Clarke is in midfield with no alternative, what can Houllier do?

Even then Collins has been in and out with injuries and Dunne has an ongoing knee injury that would mean he'd be on the operating table if we had a replacement.

I don't rate either as good as Cuellar but I can't see what other options Houllier has.

If a ball gets booted up in the air between they completely panic and lose their heads.

Well if he cant see how obviously overweight and shit he has been this season there is something seriously wrong.

They defence has been a worry since the turn of the year for me, not just since the start of the season. We'll need replacements, sharpish.
