Bloody brilliant tonight, i really hope Oscar starts him over GG on saturday. Him and Upson tonight were fantastic!!!

Couldn't agree more. That looked like an immense central defensive partnership last night, against a good player in Sagbo, and brilliant supply from the likes of Huddlestone, Livermore and Elmohamody. They both look so comfortable on the ball.

Superb performance. Impressed with his use of the ball and weight of pass which was very good.

Would like to see him play alongside Upson more as I think Upson will help bring on his game - same goes for Chicksen.

Dunk was excellent last night, in the past he has seemed to lack to lack concentration every now and then, but last night he was on it for the whole game! defending sound and distribution more effective than GG !
 
















Fraid I agree with the view that he did make a bad mistake for the goal, at the time I didn't know whether it was him or Upson. I guess we'll never know if Greer would have gone to ground so rashly and made it so easy for Sagbo - shame because it marred an otherwise excellent performance

I'm struggling with this perception of Dunk on here. The ball for the goal came from the left hand side, most attacks did to be honest, Chicksen and Upson were defending this side! Or not on this occasion. The only defender alert to the danger was the right CB who tried to block the shot having just run the full length of the pitch creating yet another forward attacking move. I'm sure he owes us all an apology for a few minutes later doing exactly the same and earning us a replay. Dunky hang your head in shame for producing a MOM performance and not letting us lose to a Prem team tut tut!!

I can't comment on his overall performance, but I don't think his move that led to a goal is that similar to the one that blocked a shot a little it later. He is stood right by Sagbo and dives in tying to tackle but completely misses him. The later had more of a gap and his lunge was to block, not to tackle.

He was not stood next to Sagbo, I was in line on both occasions, LD stretched in because he had ground to make up, watch on the tv and it shows this. It still does not excuse the other two defenders on the left, they did not do their job.

why did he not stay on his feet for sagbo goal apart from that he was superb

Because if Sagbo had popped that in first time people would say that he should of blocked the shot. If anything Sagbo should be praised for his well taken goal...

Quite. It was top class control and a well taken goal.

Shock horror. Striker gets the better of defender. Apart from the fact NO defender has a 100% success rate on tackles, Dunk would not be with us if he did.

Intriguing, an intelligent ape...

He seems to understand football

He was at fault for the goal, but forget that........

He was outstanding and displayed the form and awareness that made him such a valuable asset, early in his career. Fantastic performance......
