[Albion] Lewis Dunk

[shingle]

Is the most underated player in the premier league. How he's only been capped once for England is beyond me.

Today he was absolutely magnificent, his distribution was fantastic as was his defending.

In my opinion, the best player to have ever worn the stripes.

 

[Weststander]

In the form of his life, without Colwill almost having to cover counter attacks on his own, as others are caught out upfield en masse.

Looks like he’s enjoying every minute of it too.

 

[Doonhamer7]

I though he was immense today as the other defenders didn’t have their best games - so he had a lot to cover

 

[kevo]

I'm convinced he must have slept with Southgate's wife or something...

 

[The Mole]

He also suffers from a bit of humility - happy to concede that his goal last week was a fluke
one of my favourite Brighton players in the fifty plus years I’ve been supporting them

 

[Cotton Socks]

I love him so much, I'd give him a plaice in my pub quiz team! Sorry to those that have absolutely no clue what I'm talking about. You'll have to sea it for yourself & I can't be bothered to fish through the threads to find it. Sorry.......

He missed one tackle against Sterling or somebody like that in a training session which has ensured HE NEVER GETS PICKED FOR ENGLAND EVER AGAIN.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

If he had a Red Devil or a Liverbird on his shirt he’d retire with over 100 England caps. Even back in his Wimbledon days he was a class about the rest of us. Absolute talent, end of conversation.

 

[Easy 10]

I don't use the term "legend" lightly, but in Dunks case it pretty much goes without saying. We will look back on his BHA career in the knowledge that he is the greatest home-grown player in our history. In fact you could probably forget the home-grown. He might just be the greatest.

 

[GoingUp]

Lol he's a moody bastard on the pitch which is great, commanding players and speaking to the officials. He shouted at Solly for not making a run today and flung his arms at him 'Solly, fu*cking run!!!!!!!!!'

 

[WATFORD zero]

He is quite simply Brighton's greatest ever player. Now in his 14th season in the first team (13th if you don't count his one appearance in his first season), the last 6 at the highest level of English football. We have had some great players over the years but nobody else comes close to what he has achieved, so consistently, for so many years at the Albion

 

[Normandy seagull]

Captain, Leader, Legend!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Not far away from his 400th game for the club…that in itself says a lot

 

[Guinness Boy]

Man of the match today. A typical lack of knowledge pick from the sponsors to give it to Mitoma. Yeah, he scored, but he was marked out of the game

 

[Seagull58]

He would have at least 50 England caps under any non-Palace England manager. If only he could crack jokes in a Scouse accent or hoof the ball left-footed into touch.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Dunk has been very good in a number of games recently , stifling the opposition and playing out from back a part of his game which potter removed from him.

 

[Wardy's twin]

One thing , IF he had got 50 caps he would not still be at Brighton.......

 

[Stato]

He missed one tackle against Sterling or somebody like that in a training session which has ensured HE NEVER GETS PICKED FOR ENGLAND EVER AGAIN.

The footage was of him getting done by Rashford, something that has happened to many a decent defender.

It's a myth that it was this that saw him not called up again, as it occurred during his first time with the England squad, when he was called up, but didn't play. He was subsequently selected in the following squad and picked up his only cap then.

It seems to me that the real reason is Maguire. Dunk was picked when Maguire was injured. Southgate sees them as alike and has always preferred Maguire regardless of how obviously out of form he has been. By the time he was injured again, Southgate had started picking Coady, a player who's nowhere near as good as Dunk on the pitch, but seems to be picked because Southgate reckons he's excellent when he's not playing. I've always got the impression that Dunk and Maguire don't like each other and if you want to be picked in Southgate's England squads, you need to get on with his blue eyed boy.

I’d love dunky to lift the cup he’s an absolute legend and bleeds blue n white

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I’m going to be inconsolable the day that Dunk is no longer wearing the stripes.
