    You'd imagine him to be very slow with a build like his, but I remember him outpacing Mark Gonzalez for Ireland v Chile a couple of years ago and it amazed me.

    I went today and he kept up with Torres all day. I felt Torres was carrying a couple of knocks throughout as he got clattered a few times, but still....Dunne matched him for pace. A huge unit, but extremely quick.
    I did miss the game.

    He matched Torres!????

    I have to see that to believe it.'

      He was MoM by a mile. He saved one on the line and blocked another goal bound shot by Benny. He actually matched Torres pace
      Just believe and you never know what will happen.

      According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

        Haven't read the whole thread, but hasn't he been Citeh's player of the year for the last 3 years or summat? Quality player, and deceptively quick for a bit of a porker.

          Torres probably didn't stretch his legs as fast as we know he could. He mentally thought he could beat him because he looks like a porker and underestimated him.

              Torres got the better of Dunne one time but then the lazy Rennie wasn't close enough(how can he be that when even Molby moved around more than him) to see that Dunne brought him down.

              Could have been sent off.

              Can anyone explain how Rennie could pass the physio test?

                He got new legs for chrimbo then?

                He's one of the quickest defenders in the league mate. Not great acceleration but when he gets going. him and Carra at the back would be fantastic.

                  He didn't match him, he tore strips off him. torres worst performance in a red shirt for me, even worse than against the mancs

                    Sound lad too.
                    Do you know if it's true he's a childhood Liverpool fan as well Nic? Read that somewhere (not that it really matters like but still)
                    I've been singing his praises for a few years now, i remember starting a thread about a year ago in which i said he was one of the best centre back's in the league cue a great deal of sarcastic/laughing replies.
                    Not laughing after his performance today are they?
                    No one-off either, he's been brilliant against the top 4 in most games in the last couple of seasons.
                    Fair play to the guy for turning his career around. Four or five seasons agao Keegan was ready to sell him but he cut out the boozing, lost some beef and now he's regarded as one of the best defenders in the league. A nice story.

                            Has been great this year, got his act together over the last couple of years, slimmed down and shown to be a great player and leader.

                            Truely immense for City this year along with Richards have been one of the best partnerships in the Prem

                            Should be Irelands Captain
