not many of those could really pass the ball though

I think that's been quite a big part of our problem. We've often picked CBs for their rugged defending, rather than their ability to build from the back. Means we spend most tournaments busily giving the ball away.

In the same way that The Nodge look better when we have someone like Ayala playing, who will actually try to keep posession. Even if they occasionally make the odd defensive blunder.
