Davies was excellent at a game at Anfield when he played through his shoulder injury.

Which we won 3-1 with a centre back pairing of.... yep Davies and Cuellar.

The defence that night consisted of Davies, Cuellar, Shorey and Beye.   Other luminaries in midfield were Sidwell and NRC.  Davies scored that night and was outstanding.

That's the one good game I can remember him having to be honest.

He had a very good game at Arsenal the year before too when we won

Dunne, Collins and Warnock were bought the week afterwards. Davies was a little unlucky as he was waiting for a shoulder op at the time, Dunne and Collins established themselves as a partnership in his absence. We paid a ridiculous fee for him and with Gary Cahill going on to be a far superior player it has skewed judgement on Davies somewhat.

He was decent enough next to Laursen but never used his physical attributes as much as he should have and his inability to kick the ball with his left foot was embarrassing. He along with a few of our players at the time went to pieces after Laursen got injured. Defence was exposed more by playing with 2 up top though after the signing of Ivanhoe and not 3 centrally as had been the case previously.
