heid3ster Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Unlucky deflection off Clark for Germany's first goal. I think it was on target from Khedira so it doesn't go down as an own goal. That's a bummer, hope it doesn't hurt his confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bummer, hope it doesn't hurt his confidence. I don't see why it would. He didn't look down at all after it happened because he couldn't of done anything, and he had a very solid game once again. Also could've added one in extra as LockStock said, but to be honest Neuer made that save look a lot harder than it was. Still a good header Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers13 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If he was in I doubt that first goal gets conceded. Baker simply didn't follow the runners into the box and mark them. Pretty horrible defending, and very avoidable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockStockVilla Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) When he is fit again, I'd like to see if him and Baker have matured enough to play in the back together. update: just sick today, thats good Edited October 20, 2013 by LockStockVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 When he is fit again, I'd like to see if him and Baker have matured enough to play in the back together. Think Clark and Vlaar have just begun to get their act together, so would not change that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Tactics lost us that game. Clark or no Clark we'd have still lost. Up until spurs first goal they couldn't get the ball past the middle of the field. The goal was their first dangerous attack at all and if Clark was in he probably wpildve prevented it. Then the second goal was when villa pushed forward for an equaliser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Baker is better against the physical teams who lump it up like Stoke and West Ham, ironically he'd probably fancy it against Lukaku next week. I've been very critical of Clark but he has really stepped it up so far this season so fair play and I imagine he'll start against Everton.

We were set up fine and were probably looking the more likely to score although we weren't being especially threatening. Spurs scored a lucky goal which had a major impact on the game. If it was still 0-0 by the time Benteke came on I doubt we would have lost the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well, there is a growing tide of opinion that thinks counter attack is failing, we'd have played it v spurs with or without Clark. I think your review of the game is a little skewed, from the off it was when, not if Spurs score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark is clearly better than Baker right now, regardless of the oposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) They put the reins on the FB's which stifled their and our attack, but they were most likely to score. They had far more possession in the attacking 3rd, it was us who couldn't get past midfield. Their shots were limited to just one up to the goal, but if you give a team that much possession and in that area, well we saw what happened. It's fine when playing counter to give the opposition possession in that area, if when we get the ball back we totally burn them with a quick break but they weren't going to let us.
