kurtsimonw Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Good player, always has been. Just some were very quick to jump on him after he didn't adapt and play well the very second he stepped foot in VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 He showed on Saturday what a good CB he is playing alongside another experienced good CB and with two full backs either side and a strong and energetic CM'er in front of him. It was always going to take him tie to settle in to the Premier League and with an inexperienced partner, in Davies (or poor partner in Knight), a right back playing left back and a CM'er playing RB with no cover in front of him typically for the last 30 minutes of the game this was always going to be a difficult ask!!

dundeevilla Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Cuellar is a quality centre back. And he also scores goals. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think he is a good CB but he is not the best at fullback IMO. He doesn't have the pace to get up and back supporting the winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tismyk Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Still not sure about Cuellar, poor at right back and still suspect in the air at center half, but happy to have him on the bench when everyone is fit as he never hides and gives 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSufferingVilla Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 He'd walk into the starting lineup of any of these Premiership teams: Blackburn Birmingham Bolton Burnley Fulham Hull Portsmouth Sunderland Stoke Wigan West Ham Wolverhampton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 He'd walk into the starting lineup of any of these Premiership teams: Blackburn Birmingham Bolton Burnley Fulham Hull Portsmouth Sunderland Stoke Wigan West Ham Wolverhampton And Tottenham as he is actually injury free compared to what they have.

wiganvillain Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 He is and will be very very good with either Dunne or Collins as he takes the sweeping up after the "attack the ball" CB does their bit and both Dunne and Collins will do this. He isn't the "thou shalt not pass" CB and this is where the Davies / Cuellar pairing fell down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 He's very good in his preffered position, Centre Back. Quick, agile, win's his fair share of headers and is a perfect foil for a big centre half, either Collins or Dunn. Another player who is looking more at home in his second season with the club.

sled Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Useful 2nd or 3rd choice right back. Very good central defender - as people above are saying perfectly good cover for an out of form, injured or suspended Collins or Dunne. Good enough for a regular place but may have a bit of a job shifting Collins or Dunne, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Cuellar was dreadful in the air leading up to Boltons goal on Saturday - beaten really easily for the flick on to Cahill in our box - but other than that he was good. Dont know if he's a bit similar to Knight in that he plays basically well for 85 mins but always has a horrendous error up his sleeve. Could not understand how he managed to hold on to the right back spot for so long, surely L.Young gives us more pace, tenacity and balance down that side. I suppose there is no reason why he shouldnt play the next game keeping his place at centre back, apart from the fact I think Collins is better. Jury still out for me, a good 3rd or 4th option, we have better who should be in front of him in all back 4 positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd add Everton. Cuellar > Distin for me, especially this season, Distin's been poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 He's much better than Dunne imo. Id have Cuellar & Dunne in the middle if Luke Young was playing. He keeps the ball on the ground more often than not this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vojskovoda Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Even when there were a few doubters doubting him last season, I always kept my patience with him and knew he'd turn out to be the defender he has been this season so far. He was MOTM easily today and he seems to be getting better and better each game as it comes... it's also refreshing to know we can count on him at RB if we don't have anybody available to play there or if MON chooses him over Beye or L.Young, but I'd like to see him stay at CB and progress even further.
