Dunne

You know its not his mistakes that piss me off. I've come to accept them. Its his distribition. Its shocking. I want to slap the bloke every time he hoofs the ball upfield.

Not only does it prevent us from forming decent build ups, more often than not it just gives the opposition the ball back. Its a defensive error as well as an attacking error.

Love the bloke, great servant and all that, but not good enough for us anymore... not even if he was in his prime.
 
He got away with a handball,his attempt at a headed own goal just went wide and some awfull aimless hoofed balls up the field.In my mind he got lucky and unfortunately showed again he has become a liability.He's been a legend,its a shame but his time is up.

Complete fuckin bollox.

'Attempt at a headed own goal' is called a clearance. I recall Fellaini having one attempt on target all game. Now he's on fire at the moment and Dunney shut him right out.
As for the 'hoofing', i don't want my centre half pissing about trying to dribble out of the box. His job is to clear the ball.

Stoner you need to have a sit down with someone who understands the game and learn a few things. First off, yes, Dunne does make some excellent tackles, but he also gets caught out far more than he should. That awesome save that Given made when we were 1-0 up was due to Fellaini turning Dunne far too easily.

As for the "Hoofing", you're completely missing the point. Clearing the ball when under pressure in our box is precisely what he should do, its what he does do, its what every decent defender does, thats not the issue.
The issue is when we are in possesion OUTSIDE the box, the ball is being passed comfortably around amongst Kompany, Onouha, Richards, Zaby, whoever... then it gets to Dunne and he just balloons it with no pressure on him whatsoever.

He's terrible, and your assessment of him is worse.
