What on earth is wrong with you eyes? How on earth can you rate that performance anything less than an 8 is beyond me. You have to be seriously blind and/or stupid not to realise how well he played today in almost everything he did and is by far our best performing player this season.

The match ratings thread after Norwich was nothing short of stupid, and this one is going the same way. My faith in our fanbase is dwindling as a result of this sheer, consistent, stupidity.

Go one mate, go get those evil buggers offering an opinion which differs to yours!

You're the same pratt who reckoned LuaLua was our worst player last week, even Naylor gave him a 9.

He also managed a conversion from a yard out but neglected to mention that...

To be fair, the fact he even got to it in the first place was hard. Think Dunk is an excellent player. Captain. Leader. Legend.

The problem with the defence is that they look good making last ditch tackles, but had they (and the midfield in front of them) been doing their jobs properly in closing down attackers as a unit, they wouldn't be need this last resort so often.

Anyone who can't appreciate Dunk's performance today is beyond help. You won't see a better centre half performance than that this season, he was fantastic all game and I'm staggered there are differing opinions about it.

You can't fault Dunk and Hughes for being woefully exposed by stupid tactics, and irresponsible performances from JFC and Gardner not providing the cover. It's also worth noting that, given the choice, Hyypia decided to give Dunk the armband rather than the vastly more experienced Aaron Hughes.

All game, except for the previously mention hoofing it over their bar from one foot out, and the unmentioned moment in the second half where rather than do something with the ball he turned away from it, let it bounce behind him, then let McCormack in on goal, and being a part of a team that seemingly forgot how to play football as soon as they took the lead.

No one deserved an 8 in that game. Dunk wasn't the worst, but certainly not worth this thread.

People disagree, opinions will always differ, that's football for you ! Quite why you need to start a special thread to get your opinion across is beyond me.
Thought you flounced anyway ? Couldn't keep away ?

That about sums it up Dunk was probably our best player but even then he made a couple of bad defensive mustakes which could have cost us dearly. However, when he has been sold we will realise his value to the team. This season he has come good and realised his earlier potential.

Says more about Hyypia than Dunk IMO. Dunk is widely regarded as one of the quieter players in the team (a point highlighted in Baldocks interview the other week).

We missed Greer today not only from a playing perspective but also from a leadership point of view. Rest as per Acker.
