[Albion] Lewis Dunk - England’s second best centre half?

[Weststander]

Tarkowski or Dunk with Stones. Not Maguire or Mawson.

I like the three man Maguire, Stones and Dunk.

I told the two scousers( southern edition) in front of me, if VVD keeps improving the way he has, he might end up as good as Dunk.

VVD is an awesome player. But it's great to know that Dunk is only troubled by the most elite in this league. Wonderful to know that he is a local product.

Magnificent today and certainly in the top 4/5. It's all very close though. I do feel he suits England's current style better than most of his competitors though which SHOULD mean yes top 2 because of that.

Certainly worth all of his £10m valuation.

I like the three man Maguire, Stones and Dunk.

Agreed. That would work incredibly well. Very good balance to that.

Excellent player, big fan of his. However, not fast enough to be considered international quality imo.

 

[bhafcjack]

I'd say hes just behind Coady and of course the brick wall James Tomkins

I think Lewis is as quick as most Centre Halves in the league, if he does have a lack of pace he certainly makes up for it with his positioning and reading of the game. He is rarely caught out of position, this season the only time he has looked vulnerable is when covering the full back when we are advanced and caught in possession, great to want to play positive football however occasionally you need to stick the ball into Row Z.
I would be disappointed if Lewis is not in the next England squad. Lewis is certainly integral to our relative success.

What behind Alfie Mawson?

Second best to whom?

He has pushed ahead of Alfie Mawson with his performances this season and also Michael Keane so I would say 3rd best behind Stones and Maguire.

What behind Alfie Mawson?

Not at all He has raised his game this season but others havent . 12/18 months ago he was raw now he looks accomplished.playing against better strikers.

Dunk was brilliant yesterday and generally gets better and better but currently is still behind Stones, MaGuire and Gomez.
