I agree about richards and dunne, not bridge he just needs some protection from bazza.

Yeh Lets all jump on his case
Why would he stick the ball out for a corner when he had all the time in the world to boot the ball upfield... btw we conceded from the corner he gave away.. also bridge had 2 players all over him all night he coped fairly well its richard dunnes job to help him and also petrovs but our wingers dont like to track back that is why bridge will be alot better when barry is playing because he will help protect him abit more... as for dunne ben haim tonight was the better defender.

The second where dunne pushed out to close down and toure was caught napping and got beat by a ball over the top or the third where no one closed the man on the edge of the 6 yard box?
3rd gave away a needless corner.

Presumably all of them! Seriously if anyone that actually watches City can tell me a better defender that has worn our shirt on a regular basis over the last few seasons then I would like to know his name.
Defending is an art and whilst Dunney may not be a grand master he is still one of City's better defenders. Dunney is quite often exposed at the back by others failings and quite often by his own, but one thing he won't do is hide.
Please think about it and get off his back!

sorry but its game over at city for dunne in my books. hes been a loyal servant and will always keep a warm place in my heart but he is not one of the players to take us forward.
Pollerz said:How many more strikes before this guy is out.. seriously if i see us concede another goal because of his lack of defensive ability im going to scream..
Im as loyal a fan as any on here and im aware hes been are best player over the past years but when its time its time richard.. and im afraid your time has come.
Thankyou for your loyal service you where a true blue. but enough is enough..

How many times have we seen other top quality defenders (Terry springs to mind) bring players down cynically to give away free kicks and take the booking to break up the oppositions play and deny a goal scoring opportunity, when terry et al do it there top quality defenders, when Dunnie does it he's a liability!! Nothing like defending you're own!!
