Richard Dunne.

Cueller has to play instead now surely!

[D.boy]

Cueller should start next week alongside Collins. Dunne isn't at the races this season.

[PaulWinch again]

great tackle at the end, but unfortunately that doesn't really matter as his error cost us a point. He should be dropped.

[brontebilly]

aside from the once in a season crazy error, Dunne was superb today. He looks back to his best and is our best defender. Collins was fine too. Cuellar might he hard done by but thats the way it goes sometimes. We are carrying a centre half too many.

He was dodgy from what I saw. Looked very fat and very slow.

There were a few very iffy moments. Gave the ball away a few times in very dangerous positions (then again, I think most people did at some point) and his distribution seemed worse than ever at times.

[TheSandman]

Has to be dropped. Has to be. Nowhere near fit enough.

Cumbersome is the word.

Cueller a better bet against SHA.

Thing is even if that is the case, that crazy error is what cost us the game.

[The Situation]

I've said it a billion times before, and if I have to I'll say it a billion times again... Cuellar is better than Dunne and the Cuellar-Collins partnership works the best! Houiller has got to play Cuellar next week against the scum... plz.

he seemed fit enough to chase darren bent down in the 92 min and dispossess him. His error was a bad one no doubt though I'm not sure what Collins was doing there either seemed to put Dunne off at the last second - but we had over an hour to come back from it. It didnt solely cost us the game - Heskey's diabolical miss was just as crucial perhaps even more so as we were totally on top at the time and could have gone on to win the game.

far more relevant points to pick out than - dunne is nowhere near fit enough. for example - warnock was hopeless again today and fitness wise has more problems than dunne I reckon. Dunne was shit early on in the season when in a disgraceful condition but is back to last seasons form now imo.

[Shrek]

Warnock we are stuck with, there's no cover.

I'm lost as to how Cueller can be motm then be dropped for a player that has done nothing but make mistake after mistake inbetween the odd good tackle.

Record own goal scorer says it all.

He looks nothing like the player he was last year, Cueller has proved how good he is.
Gerrard has done right by team selections thus far, but this is one problem he must address.

We have played our best and got the best results when Dunne isn't there.

[brontebilly]

Cuellar was excellent against Wolves. His best game for the club and has been unlucky to be dropped. BUT it was Wolves. Collins and Dunne have been superb centre halves for Villa for an entire season, we conceded 39 goals last season the best under MON and possibly for a long time if I bothered doing the research. Cuellar has been a disappointment at this club to be honest, next to Laursen when he first came he struggled and Davies got in. Next to Davies or Knight he continued to struggle. I dont see how Cuellar is an improvement on Dunne on the ball. Neither of them are great with the ball. To be fair I think Dunne and Collins have earned the right to be our centre half pairing. It seems to be the way Houllier sees it too.

[Shrek]

We played the entire of last season with Cueller in the team, it's no coincidence that without him we have been poor.

I say drop Dunne and play Cueller if it doesnt work then fair enough, but Cueller is a class centre half who has performed consistently when played in his correct desicion.

[Archie]

I rate him an average player even when he's at his maximum, but the current   form of Richard Dunne is really awful.
How long will you take to you to send him on the bench Mr GH?
