Dunk would immediately be their second best centre back after VVD mind, let's not act like he's some donkey

And I suppose they play nice and expansive football, exposing their CB's in the process....

Matip, Lovren, Klavan (currently our best CB on form) and Van Dijk are all better than Lewis Dunk who, I will repeat, has scored 2 in 2 for Liverpool.

I mean they don't have hundreds of millions worth of talent in their squad either That’s irrelevant to the point. Ben Gibson was class for us last season until we had to have a go, he got exposed when he had to deal with more balls in behind and players running at him. It’s a different game to having 5 midfielders in front of you and all you have to do is win your headers etc. Not saying it’s easy to do what Dunk is doing but you’ll find out who the top defenders are when they’re in an expansive team. Gibson is still a good defender too, just has to be in a certain type of team.

To a point yeah, but Middlesbrough having a go is very different from Liverpool with a £20m player in just about every position against the majority of Premier League teams

I mean they don't have hundreds of millions worth of talent in their squad either Lovren was brilliant for Southampton. A level higher than Brighton. He's still a good defender for us. Just the way we play sometimes makes him look stupid, but for the most part he's a really good defender. Just not good enough to consistently play top level, 1 v 1 which he's often asked to do. I've liked what I've seen of Dunk but you can't ignore what lovren has done in the past and the level he has played at even for us for the most part. Harry Maguire is another. Tarkovski, Mee as well. Lovren would be fucking brilliant for that burnley side. Money is irrelevant. The system Dunk in is easier to defend in and look good in. Lovren has thrived and would thrive again given the chance.

He had 1 good season in England, and it was 4 seasons ago, hardly like we're talking about some huge body of work before Liverpool, I take your point though, system does matter

And what "body of work" are you judging Dunk on? Half a season in the Premier League and a couple of seasons in the Championship?

Suppose Dunk is boss then.
