VillaRoy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 3 goals this season in prem, and could have had more. He is a major threat in the final third. Time will tell if he can play at left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Did well today, feel more happy with at LB than CB, just dont think he has the physical strength to be a CB at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fran_villa Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 He's a class little player, and he'll fill the LB area got Ireland i'd say, i called todays formation early today. GH is looking at my posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Think he's one of those players like Barry who will learn his trade in a number of positions before settling probably into centre back when he grows in stature a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claret75 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 He'll never be a CM. Would of said that about Barry when he broke through as a CB/LB. Clark already has a couple of respectable displays in CM too. I doubt he'll be a CM, he's not sharp enough Thought he played well at LB 1st half, my MOTM for the 1st, but was a bit exposed 2nd half and seemed to tire and get into bad positions. Overall OK and I'd rather see him there than Warnock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I really like Clark. He has an adventure about him and he always looks dangerous in opposition half. Done well for penalty as well and I was a lot more confident him playing left back than Warnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 He's got something about him... I don't know what it is. Same thing Laursen had. It's like you don't notice him moving then all of a sudden hes into action and winning the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-67 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I've been calling for Clark to play left back for a while. Having now seen it, I'm not sure he's mobile enough to take on tricky wingers but thought he did a really good job today. He gives us an extra big fella in both boxes as well and I like the fact that we had all four of our defenders up for corners. Decent layer and certainly no worse than Warnock at left back. Well done son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solves a problem or two.It sure does, please god he might push Kevin Kilbane out of the side. he looks a class player though, still very young but some of his passing from the back is quality..

TrentVilla Posted January 2, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2011 I didn't see the game today so I've no idea how he played but will be watching it back tomorrow and watching him especially because I really like Clarke I think as theunderstudy says there is something about him. Its hard to put your finger on, hard to describe but there is a quiet efficiency and a underlying class in his game that for me sets him apart. We've some excellent prospects in the young players but for me Clarke is the pick of the bunch, all I've seen of the game is his goal but I couldn't help but notice the composure he showed as he took his chance. That ball was in the air and coming to him for a long time but there was no nerves, no last minute hesitation or doubt he knew what he wanted to do and just did it. In fact, just doing it kind of sums him up. It was the same against Arsenal, the same composure and that to me is the sign of a real talent when its in a defender of his age. My one big hope with Clarke is that we are able to give him enough football to keep him happy and that he doesn't end up going the way of Cahill.

fran_villa Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Does anybody know if he's only just signed up to a new contract, because if not i'd get him on a ten year. i think this lad is better than Cahill was at the same age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
