Clark tries to track back and get under a spinning ball. Deeney, runs past Richardson who doesn't move, yet it's Clark's fault. I'm not saying Clark couldn't of done better, but Richardson did bugger all, when it came to a ball that directly in front of him, which he could have ran and jumped at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted November 28, 2015 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2015 Not good enough, never has been and never will be. He is a liability ever time he steps on the pitch and just keeps costing us goals. Never a PL player. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arj Guy Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Laughable for the third goal. Simply not good enough for the PL just like the majority of our squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Calamity Clarke! Pisses me off when he holds his arms apart when we concede its like he's saying WTF?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 He lost concentration yesterday for the third goal and that was a killer blow. I don't know if it was tiredness. Maybe he's still necking pints in celebration of Ireland's qualification. He was back on his heels and looked about as capable of jumping to clear the ball as someone who has had both their achilles tendons cut. And it's not the first time I've seen Clark watch the ball wait to drop onto his head, while a striker gets above him to easily head the ball into the net. It's almost his signature move at this stage. Maybe try some plyometrics Ciaran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted November 30, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2015 Problem is do we replace the left side of defense (i.e. bring in Okore and Llori/Crespo ) and then wait for that to gel? How long do we wait before changing again? Defense's thrive on consistency - should Remi stick or twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stuck with the same back 4 that were run ragged by Everton last week. This week the same players were the architects of our capitulation.

AshVilla Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Clark is awful On many occasions he has cost us points this season he's too lightweight to be a CB limited and is going to get no better If we get relegated i can see us dropping another division if the club think this joker is good enough to be our first choice CB he will get destroyed in that division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedman Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm not for 1 minute going to argue Clark is a good defender, he's been woeful this season but I don't think the 3rd goal is his fault. I'd have to watch it again to be sure and I have no real interest in doing so, but the ball was spinning away from him and he had to back towards it leaving him off balance and unable to really jump at it combined with it being in the perfect position for Deeney to attack, I personally don't think any defender would have won that header or stopped Deeney from scoring that goal. Anyone who's played football must have dealt with the ball spinning away from you in the air and know how difficult it is to actually get off the ground and head it away in those circumstances It always looks like it's a mistake, the same way that the ball bobbling a yard in front of you causes you to shin it miles off target looks a mistake, doesn't mean anyone would have been able to handle it differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadlyDirk Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm starting to feel that Lescott might be a better alternative to Clark after all, although Lescott looks a bit clumsy and laboured he's a big enough unit and he's got bags of experience. Plus we haven't been comprehensively turned over with him in defence, only example I can think are Chelsea and Spurs, who let's face it, against them we would probably never beat anyway in our current malaise...
