[Football] How good was DUNK today?!

[jcdenton08]

I know it’s not the “done thing” after a loss for a positive player performance thread. If we win everyone is a legend, if we lose… less so.

But I think Dunk was absolutely immense today. Without him it could’ve gotten very messy.

No yellow card, some world class defending including an amazing header off the line - but what about that (left foot?) through ball out of absolutely nowhere. Absolutely wonderful footballer.

I hope his cock and balls are okay though. That looked… sore.

(Again, before I’m attacked, gutted to lose any game) but wasn’t he outstanding?

 

[Littlemo]

He is brilliant, love him. Could have been a lot worse without him today.

 

[The Fits]

I think it was his best performance this season, weirdly.
We’ve been truly blessed to have him here.

I absolutely agree , but I daren’t say that in the OP as we lost… I took as a risk as it stands!

 

[Mustafa II]

A proper captains performance. Led by example.

So many moments of brilliance.

That cool chest to the keepers hands (always surprises the commentators, but we've seen it enough times to know it's his special move).

That incredible pass through the middle, again, becoming typical of this world class defender.

The header off the line. Absolutely immense. A certain goal.

...and of course the blocking. Blocks on a dive, with his head, with his nuts. He will just throw everything he has at every shot and cross and will get to it 90% of the time.

He has become, without a doubt in my mind, one of the best defenders in the world.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I'd rather read this thread than the vitriolic, reactionary nonsense on the official match one

Dunk = Legend

 

[Bakero]

He was phenomenal. An Arsenal supporting mate messaged to say Dunk had been "immense" and later to say he had wanted that long range shot at the end to have gone in.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

The biggest legend at the club. I will keep touting this until he is dethroned which I truly believe will not happen in my lifetime.

 

[Swegulls]

He was great, and so was JPvH!

Even Clinton Morrison on the bbc website said what a very good player he is ….immense would have covered it

That chest back to Bart was just ridiculous

 

[Triggaaar]

That chest back to Bart was just ridiculous

It would be ridiculous if someone else had done it. For Dunk it was standard. The commentator didn't realise that though, and was taken aback by it.

I've said before that the "Dunk Chest" should be added as a skill move on FIFA.

The club need to create a montage.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

He was excellent. That 50/60/70/100 yard pass was ridiculous.

Spot on. though Igor is learning fast and did one Thursday.

Re Dunk, it is just embarrassing that Southgate overlooked him for so long.

We talk about Caicedo, MacAllister etc… being world class, but actually we’ve been watching a world class centre-back for some time.

Brilliant player

 

[Farehamseagull]

Awesome. He had to be.

He was immense and deserved to be on the winning side . Hopefully he will be on Thursday.
Btw it’s not the case that there is relentless negativity after defeats . Indeed there is literally a ‘thread full of positives ‘after every game .

 

[ozzygull]

Immense!

Exactly.

And that bolleaux from the commentators about how his passing has improved. It was always that good, but those first couple of seasons trying to survive in the Premier under Hughton alongside Big Shane, it wasn't exactly a priority

I really think we are now watching one of England's best, at the height of their career

We have many shining diamonds in our team but Dunk shines all the time. Gross is almost as consistently bright.
