Sure Boumsong isn't the best defender around, but IMO the problem we're facing in defence since we started this season has nothing to do with Boumsong but with the way we're playing and all the defenders and not only one.
I'm not here to praise Boumsong because he doesn't deserve It and not here to bash him because he doesn't deserve It aswell.
And I have to say moving from EPL to Serie (B) isn't something someone can easily adapt, except for those who played in Italy before.
Another thing is that usually defenders do performe better when they have a hand around=backup, we all know the good understanding Thuram-Cannavaro had since their Parma days, thats how they both developed, the same goes with Montero-Ferrara, Maldini-Costacurta/Baresi....The same thing we're witnessing with Terry-Carvalho.....nowadays.
So the point here is that Boumsong doesn't only take the responsibilty lot of you are putting on him.

abt the point with stability and defensive partnerships.Boumsong didn't have a stable partner next to him.He had almost every defender next to him and that doesn't help at all.
I will give him credit though cause now he decreased those stupid extra touches or unnecessary possession of the ball.He left almost all the fancy stuff he used to do in the past.
