[Albion] Ryan on Dunk and Duffy - hmmmmm!

[Wozza]

"I don’t know if I’ve ever played with two players that defend with such desperation and get so many blocks in", says Maty Ryan on centre-back pairing Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy.

That's nice, Maty.

“I can’t think of a better defensive duo and if they keep performing as they are, there’s no reason why they couldn’t play for a top team."

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Oh dear. Maty. What have you said...

Dunk probably put him up to it in the hope of getting a new contract extension.

That was worth a chortle

I never realised that Australia were recognised as a top team.

[LamieRobertson]

Maybe something was lost in translation

 

[WATFORD zero]

He probably meant that if they keep performing as they are, we will all be playing for a top team

I must say, the way the defence celebrated together like a Champions League Final win at the end shows a cause and a spirit rarely seen.

I can't think of a better defensive trio! Maty was absolutely superb behind Dunkin Duffy yesterday.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that this has been taken out of context and what he meant was that WE would be a top team with them in it.

 

[clippedgull]

He's definitely referring to them playing for a top team, which we are not.

I think any future purchaser would have to buy them as a duo as they work so well together!

"There is no reason why they couldn't play for a top club like Manchester United".

Not the most ambiguous of quotes.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Wonky wording but I get what he is saying.

 

[Wardy's twin]

We all knows what he means - we will be a top team soon if they continue playing like that.

 

[Stat Brother]

Wonky wording but I get what he is saying.

Hardly wonky he's saying Dunk & Duffy should be playing for a 'top 6' side.

We have a 'Communications Team' at work who put out press releases and so on. They often quote staff - but generally speaking their 'quotes' are not precisely what we said. So unless we hear Maty actually saying this, we don't really know what precisely he said, or in what context. For instance, I know that quotes are often answers such as 'could D&D play for a top team?' - 'Yes'

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Feeding off our manager seemingly amazed we're able to play at this level. Why shouldn't we be? This is an expensively assembled squad full of good players - let's have a bit more belief throughout the club. We're not Championship anymore, we are where we deserve to be.

 

[Creaky]

His maths isn’t that brilliant either

They deal with it 99.9% of the time and I’ll deal with it the other 0.01%.

It was what he said in the post match interview - I heard it on the radio on my drive home after the game. I thought when I heard it that it was an unfortunate choice of words!
