HARRY REDKNAPP PRAISED Ireland international Richard Dunne after he played an important role in helping QPR beat Leeds 1-0 in the Championship today.
The veteran manager, who signed Dunne in the summer, was keen to highlight his role in the victory.
“Elland Road is a tough place to come but at the back we were strong,” he told reporters. “You win the league with clean sheets and Nedum Onuoha and Richard Dunne were outstanding, Clint Hill also popped up in the right place to get the goal.
“There is a new spirit here with the people I brought in, I’m not taking chances. Bringing Richard Dunne in on a free was a no brainer and Gary O’Neil and Danny Simpson have come in and all been excellent.”
The 33-year-old centre-back was yesterday chosen as part of Giovanni Trapattoni’s final 23-man squad, though the Italian coach recently cast doubt on whether he would choose to start with Dunne in the Irish side’s upcoming games.
Farm strength.
One word: Animal
A Combine Harvester.
The way he places the ball at the ref’s feet in that first gif is hilarious. He was unbelievable at the breakdown on Saturday. An absolute tank.
Makes Zebos MOTM award laughable
at the same time sob didn’t do a whole lot else
Zebo didn’t have 4 big positives like this, did he? SOB no pistaches, either.
I was myself happy both played well (we need an alternative to Kearney) but SOB was clearly better.
*mistakes* (french auto correct!)
Against Scotland. That’s nothing to boast about
You’ve done pretty well at the breakdown yourself, have you Mike?
As good as you I’d say
I reckon that a back row of O Mahony, Henry and O Brien is our best scavenging back row.
I would love to see it against a team like Australia who could play Pocock and Hooper.
The choice of Henry over heaslip just baffles me.
