He did a chest back to an equally blasé one handed catch by Big Bob in front of the baying Bmuff fans, I'll have you know

It’s a disgrace.
Thankfully for Lewis he seems such a positive and forward-looking person.
In a era of peak Terry, Ferdinand, Campbell it would be fair. But not now.

I guess the Nigels will subject him to their slander next week given they were going for it with Greenwood yesterday.. About time the authorities grew a pair and call this out.
Oh yeah I forgot, proven goal scorer.

I know that my Albion bias should be taken in to account, and so i wouldnt go as far to say Lewis should be a first choice centre back for England but its so weird that players like Coady & Mings have been given 10+ caps each, 10+ opportunities to show what they can do, & Lewis who is a far superior player has only had that 1 game years back. At the time maybe his top league quality was still unknown to a wider audience, but over the years since he's put in MotM performances every week & doesnt get a sniff. Even players like Guehi & Mitchell only had to put in half a season at a Prem club of semi decent performances before instantly Southgate & media were say 'yep these 2 are definitely worth a go in the England team'.
He doesn't need many more reds to catch up with DF And Viera?
Would hardly be a surprise if he got one next week.
I doubt it would be as good as Sir Duffy nutting their defender though

Same here, imho LD didn’t warrant being England’s starting CB for sustained periods.
But he should’ve been involved for two lengthy spells - around the time of his cap and the last 9 months.
GS repeatedly said he’s go by form. Then abandoned that for his WC centre backs.

Just shows that we have an imbecile as England manager
Michael Keane 12 caps
Phil Jones
Mings is even worse than those two
Not having Lewis Dunk in that team in the last World Cup meant that Giroud was able to score in the semi final as Macguire (as always) fell asleep.
What is the point of keeping Southgate - he is a serial failure, and has never ever achieved anything at all a a manager. He is also WET.
But England's loss is the Albion's gain.
And our success has been built around Lewis, as the most consistent part of the spine of our team. Absoloute legend!!!!
I think he has only got one yellow card all season. He seems to have successfully cut that out of his game.

Especially when you look at who’s got caps ahead of him.
Tarkowski, Micheal Keane, Maguire, Dier.
How he’s only got 1 cap is completely baffling.
Edit: who the hell is Joe Gomez.
It’s called the Glen
It’s called the Glenn Hoddle disorder

Assuming it’s a dig at Spurs, but not sure I follow.
I assumed it was a reference to the lack of caps Hoddle got.

Put him in the curry
Not sure I'd be too keen on the idea of Dunk spending too much time with Southgate and the England set up, they'd have him zonal marking thin air in no time.
I think Dunk has been overlooked simply because he was seen as a body on the line defender and nothing more, that's just pure and simple hogwash as most Brighton And Hove Albion supporters know, he's so much more and if they couldn't see it or can't see it then it makes me wonder how inept the set up is in the first place,I'm not sure I'd swap Dunk for any other CB in the league let alone a English one,that says it all to me and my Fantasy team wouldn't be complete without Dunky.

No dig at Spurs. Hoddle was probably Englands best player at his peak but wasn’t getting selected in the first team anywhere near enough. Considering Bergkamp (not our one) modelled his game on Hoddle whilst Cruyff couldn’t believe England weren’t building their team around Hoddle, it makes me wonder if there’s a thing with England and avoiding players who aren’t associated with Silverware eg Matt Le Tissier and now Dunk?
