Time for Habib Beye to take his chance.
GH, please do not play Cuellar at Right Back.
-
Oh crap.
Beye's done OK, but he's not Luke quality.
-
If Beye carries on as he did against Chelsea we should be OK.
-
Can't really see a left wing threat from Burnley, Sunderland and SHA.
-
I may be alone, but for SHA, I would play Cuellar if LY isn't fit. A bit more strength in the defence in a game which is usually a bit more pysical.
-
Id rather have salifou at right back than Beye.
-
I'm hoping he'll do well and shows the importance of cover in all positions.

Beye is hardly shrinking violet, he's more than capable of handling himself against the scum and give far more attacking wise than CC.

martin was vilified for cc playing right back, but its ok now is it? i am an advocate of horses for courses but we all wanted full backs playing where full backs play, didnt we?
-
Beye and lichaj are both capable right backs- I see no reason to consider cuellar for the right back position.
-

What did he do against Chelsea that offended you? Or is it that you form an opinion of a player and don't give them any further chances?
-
I'd have no issue with Cuellar, Beye or Lichaj at right-back for those games.
All have done well enough there in the past. Beye would be my preferred option though.

Its not as simple as that in my opinion. I liked how solid the defence looked with Carlos at RB, but of course he doesn't get forward as well as LY. In a game where the full backs are going to come under intense pressure, be it aerial, or on the ground, I think Cuellar is stronger. Its about using the squad to get the best results possible.
-
Houllier must be doing something right, when the best anyone can do on here is pick a fight over whether Beye should play right back instead of Cuellar.
I'm more concerned as to who will fill the mid field places and whether we have an effective, read, any striker able to score goals.
-
I would play Cuellar ar right back, but then I would play Cuellar ahead of Dunne or Clark at the moment, Beye doesn't give us much going forward so I'd play the better defender.
Warnock can't be far from a suspension, in an area where we've got no cover.

The midfield and strikers pick themselves at the moment, due to the lack of depth in the squad, defence is the one area where we've got a far bit of cover.
-
I don't mind beye, he's decent enough on the whole. Although you do get the impression that at least once a game he's going to end up on his arse in the box with a winger bearing down on goal.
-

Yes, I can believe that.

Do they?
We'll see.
-
There's not much between Beye and Lichaj in my opinion, other than Lichaj has a pretty long throw and he's young. I'd go with Lichaj - give him his chance in the league after his fairly encouraging performances in friendlies and cup games.
-

did you think he played well? i didnt.
-
Carlos for me. No shadow of doubt on this one.

What did Malouda do all game?
-
I'd use the opportunity to give Lichaj an extended run, see what he's made of. But I wouldn't be surprised to see GH go with Lichaj for the Burnley game, then Beye for the two in the league. I think Beye was fine against Chelsea.
At least we've got options to cover RB. It's a totally different story at LB. That still worries me.
-
I was surprised when Beye played against CHelsea as I thought Lichaj had done well and Habib hasn't featured under Gezza. I think the kids got promise so would want him to get a game or two while Young is out, but then Beye's got the shirt right now and did nothing to warrant losing it against Chelsea.
-
Beye was a bit shaky for me against Chelsea but I've not really seen enough of Lichaj to judge, so maybe still Beye on Sat then Lichaj on Wednesday and see who is best for Blues. Carlos is a centre half, may as well put Ash in goal as Carlos at right back. This is the top of the professional game and full back, centre half etc are specialist positions these days.
-

That's crazy.
-
if we need a left back we can use one of right back in left back or move Downing to left back I think he can play there. Providing it is not a tough and powerful winger he is facing.

I wouldn't want Downing anywhere near LB myself. And the switching of a RB would only work if it was Young.
-
Yes and yes. If Young's out, our LB option if Warnock's unavailable would probably be to use Lowry there. Or Clark, who is at left footed, comfortable on the ball and mobile.
-
Clark at LB might work.
It would cause another 'Cuellar at RB' style row on here, though!
-
Surely we would just play our reserve right back at right back as we did on Saturday.
-
Beye did ok against chelsea so if it aint broke dont fix it.
-
Beye deserves to play against Sunderland. After that, let's see. He's hardly played any football over the last 12 months so he's hardly going to be 100% but deserves the chance.
Carlos will never let us down if needed but I do have reservations with Lichaj. From what I've seen of him, I just don't see him making it at this level.
-

Downing left back? Are you sure? I'd be very worried about him playing there.
-
Beye could play left back in an emergency but we do need specialist cover in that area , certainly I'm happy to see beye keep the right back role until young is fit.
Cuellar will get his chances at centre half and I'm sure he will play a big part in our season-houllier is very a manager who loves to rotate and keep players fresh- he is assessing what he has here before deciding what he needs to add to his squad.
-
I think he play there at his former club. Can't be 100% sure though.
-
Lichaj played at left back in the last reserve game against Wolves didn`t he?
-

Yes, look at all the clear chances and shots on target that the best attack in the country managed to come up with.
Beye did fine and will do fine on Saturday as well.
-

It would rather have Lowry there - Beye proved against Rapid Vienna he is far from comfortable on the left. But Beye is more than adequate cover at right back.
-
Beye did well against Chelsea so he deserves to play against Sunderland simple as that!
-
Must be Beye, aquitted himself well against Chelsea.
-
Got to be Habib Beye, with Lichaj on the bench. Simples.
-
Id rather have salifou at right back than Beye.
What a ridiculous comment - I assume it was ironic.
-
I have to admit that when they announced the team on Saturday I despaired at the announcement of Beye. But I thought he was one of our best players against Chelski so I'm happy to be proved wrong and for him to deputise.
-
I have said this before and I will probably say it again but I think Luke young is at least our third best right back. I prefer Cuellar and Beye and possibly Lichaj. I know I will get crucified for this opinion but I still stick to it.

You assume wrong.
There's a rather crazy person who doesn't really get football posting and he needs humouring.
-
I guess Warnock must be very close to a suspension. That could mean cover needed at both full-back positions, hopefully not against SHA!
