Whilst I agree with your sentiment about us shipping too many goals from set pieces (we are all well aware we need to get a grip on this issue), not all of the goals shipped from corners/free kicks etc can be blamed on Murillo. A lot of the lapses came from poor attention by the full backs, not just the centre backs.
I would like to guess that Murillo has probably made at least one block or challenge that has saved us from conceding another goal per game. If it hadnt been for Murillo in the first half against Sheff Utd, we couldve gone in at half time two or three goals down and lost that game and we wouldve been in the bottom three now!
Whilst there are elements to his game that need to be worked on, some aspects of his game are phenomenal and we are clearly blessed we have him. He is still a young lad, with so much more to learn and he will only get even better.
