He's injured! answers last nights query, but if he is, then surely we need Davies back as backup!



We have just let Leicester have him until Jan so I don't think that will happen unless someone else gets crocked, of which the chances are high.

Dunne won't be dropped at the moment, not now that he's captain because of the injuries.

It's Collins who should be dropped for Carlos, not Dunne. Collins is constantly chasing the ball and getting out of position, often getting in Dunne's way like for last night's second equaliser. I think Dunne had an awful start to the season but in the last couple of games has started to improve.

And there is no way Collins is better on the ball. How many times does he hand back possession to the opposition by trying some long-range flashy pass that doesn't come off? Pretty damn often. He should play it simple and retain the ball.

I think Dunne and Cuellar are a better pairing. Cuellar's far better positionally than Collins, leaving Dunne to concentrate on his own job without finding his centre-back partner in his way.

Cuellar is now injured and will miss the Man Utd game and maybe be back for Blackburn.

Can't agree with that as I think Collins has been far better than Dunne so far this season.  But do agree he needs to stop thinking he's the ginger Beckenbauer sometimes and play it more simply.

Warnock is our weak link at the moment.

Maybe the steward, waitress, turnstile operator & Hercules will get selected before
we ask Curtis to return ?

I like Carlos and would be sad to see him go. But his attributes are an irrelevance if he doesn't fit into the managers system.

You can't please all of the people all of the time. We want to keep the ball better - and the likes of Cuellar certainly won't let us do that.

But on top form I'd argue that as a centre half goes, he arguably our best, so hope Houllier still sees a role for him...

Never rated our best defender? That's a bit odd.

Carlos has been really hard done by. Great game v Wolves then dropped and seen the 2 centre halves hardly cover themselves in glory. Also played out of position for so much of last season. I'd love to see him given a decent run at centre half.
