Dunk jumped up to head the ball at Craven Cottage and was pushed in the back.
He does. From long kicks down the middle he often tries to “ease” the opponent forward so he can’t head it, so Dunk can take it on his chest or let it run through. He has got it wrong a few times this year.
I watched the game on tv, and saw replays. Dunk was pushed with two hands in the middle of his back, which was why he was so angry with the ref, even after the game.
must admit, i only saw the one hand pushing in the replays i watched
Read the first sentence of my OP. Next time I’ll get a panel to review my words before I hit “post”.
My OP wasn’t Albion specific. Watch recent defending by Man U for example where defenders make no attempt to head the ball.
I rarely comment on Albion team issues on here (I wait until I'm talking with my Albion mates) but Dunk clearly pushed one of our players in the back while defending a long ball down the middle in the first half on Thursday. If he'd not done that, Muniz could have turned him and been one on one at goal. So it was kind of karmic if he got manhandled at the corner.
