[Albion] Lewis Dunk

[TugWilson]

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.

I can answer the one cap bit , southgate ( better known as the buck toothed fucktard career ruining turdster ) is palace and knows Lewis is better drunk carrying a backback full of bricks than he was sober on his best day .

Southgate I believe has only been to the Amex once.

 

[Bodian]

Agreed. I measure 'best' as being the sum of his contribution over a long period of time. People seem to forget that he was a standout player in the Hypia debacle and his goals as top scorer that season went a long way to keeping us in the Championship.

5 wasn't it? 5! We've got four on seven this year already.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Definitely one of my favourite players ever. He is undoubtedly a club hero. Nice bloke, leads with a tough fist and is a f***ing class defender. Still many years yet, too!

 

[Weststander]

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.

Mings 17 caps
Michael Keane 12 caps
Gomez 11 caps
Phil Jones 27 caps
Guehi 3 caps
Dier 37 caps

Dunk 1 cap

He’s a better defender, leader, organiser, passer. Pace, he has enough, whilst Mings’s superior pace means sod all as he’s an awful defender.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Getting the feeling you played at Wimbledon with him mate?

No mate I wasn’t that good. Played
in the same team as him at Balfour Juniors and Varndean.

A seriously good footballer.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Another imperious display from Dunk, another horror show from England's Tyrone Mings.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

He was so good today.

Mings 17 caps
Michael Keane 12 caps
Gomez 11 caps
Phil Jones 27 caps
Guehi 3 caps
Dier 37 caps

Dunk 1 cap

Those stats are actually unbelievable. His lack of opportunity must be incredibly frustrating for the players himself.

 

[Auckland seagull]

I love the fact we can play De Zerbi ball with (it seems like), about nine teenage attackers, because we have Dunky and Veltman at the back ready to save us if we lose the ball. They are the best insurance policy you can have.

 

[Flagship]

He is so dependable now and seems to have eliminated the silly unforced errors that he used to make earlier in his career. He has got better with age. I also like the way that he never defends with his hands behind his back and never turns away from a challenge.

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

Yesterday was his 400th game according to this. The club should announce it when it arrives. Fulham?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Yesterday was his 400th according to this. The club should’ve announced it.

3 of those were for Bristol. I'm sure they will in a couple of games

I edited my post and said it will probably be the Fulham game.

Stoke away in the cup, if he plays, will be his 400th for us assuming he also plays against Palace and Fulham.

 

[the slow norris]

Came away from the Amex yesterday thinking Dunk was absolutely imperious, so glad to come on here and see this thread. He was my MOM, and I don’t think it was close.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

I don't think he'd start too often in a 4, but how he's not in every single squad and as you say got a fair few caps is beyond me. Oh did the manager play for palarse and villa so outside of them only picks top 6/now7?

 

[Brian Fantana]

I hope we get to Europe just so he can be the first man to captain us on there.

Can’t be many, if any, players who’ve stayed with one team from L1 to the Europa.

Andy King definitely did with Leicester. There was a bit of coverage at the time about him being the only player in the modern era to win League One, the Championship and the PL with the same club. He also stayed on to play in the CL with Leicester.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

At one stage yesterday Bournemouth countered and he sprinted 60-70 yards to get back behind the ball, passing several of our players on the way. The guy just loves defending. A proper legend.

 

[Triggaaar]

one of my favourite Brighton players in the fifty plus years I’ve been supporting them

Honestly it would be weird if he wasn't
