[Albion] If Dunk is fit, would you start him?

Straight back in for the first 45mins.

Igor has done well, I’d keep him in the team. it’s good that we’ve got competition for places.

I could be wrong, but I feel now is the time to start making the break. It will take time but it has to start somewhere.....

His last game was literally Newcastle away. Did you come out of that game thinking 'yeah, time to start making the break from Dunk?'

And Wolves?
Liverpool?

I was being a bit flippant, but it is impossible to know what might have happened if Dunk had played against Wolves or Liverpool or come to that City. Would he have stopped Salah cutting in from the left? Who knows? Would he have called some attackers back v Wolves? Maybe.
But I think we now have players who can take responsibility off of him (Welbeck in particular, has I think shown great leadership, against City, and also v Spurs).
I am sure Dunky will be back, but suspect it will be from the bench this week, hopefully coming on at 3-0 up to see out the game.

IMHO Igor showed great leadership against Citeh to boss the defence and give JP the freedom to play.

Abso-bloody-lutely. I am shocked - SHOCKED - by the result of this poll..

Two-thirds of you would drop our captain and greatest ever player just because he got a minor calf strain a few weeks ago.

I am staggered by you lot

I think being our captain and greatest ever player is not a criteria for match selection. Team selection is based on present moment context rather than history and status. I'd be reluctant to make a change.

Think this poll would have been a lot different if we had not beat city. Since Igor has come in we have lost 2 , drawn 1 that felt like a defeat and beat city. And Igor and hecke let haaland squeeze inbetween them for the goal.

The defence was a bit of a mess at times for Liverpool and wolves at home.

Dunk has to come in.....
