Zatman Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I loved that he got pissed off at Given for not coming for a ball that Given should have taken. Just shows his leadership and maturity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows his leadership and maturity Yep, had Given come closer, Clark could've headed the ball to him. When he didn't, Clark didn't take the chance, which was the right choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Why did he come off, is he injured or was it just for precaution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Why did he come off, is he injured or was it just for precaution? Apparently he was a yellow away from suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Why did he come off, is he injured or was it just for precaution? Apparently he was a yellow away from suspension. So I guess Vlaar isn't anywhere near ready for Swansea - Or TS would prefer KC to serve his ban away to one of the big boys - Who went CB to replace him ?

DJ_Villain Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Have to do a complete 180 on this lad... He was awful the past couple of seasons but it seems those two years were his baptisms of fire and he has been firing on all cylinders this season... Sorry for ever doubting you Ciaran... Keep it up lad... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayEm Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Just thinking hypothetically here- Clark is one yellow away from 10 in total, and a two game suspension. So if he gets one against United or Spurs, he misses the Semi Final. Do we want him to pick up a yellow against Swansea to avoid that? I mean, it seems somewhat likely he'll get one in one of the next three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted March 14, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 14, 2015 Our defenseman of the season for sure. Leader both vocally and by example. A great perfectly timed tackle again today to save us from a goal against. If there's one thing I'd like him to change, it's that he still passes back to Guzan a tad too much. But that's a minor detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Such a transformation. Could never see such consistency from Clark before this season, but he has really matured into a very good premier league centre half. Keep it up son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm just wondering why he has only 10 caps for the republic of Ireland. I know Oneill is such a terrible judge of a centre back having sold Gary Cahill and buying Curtis Davies but surely he should be a regular now in the Ireland side.

Zatman Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 O'Neill has preferred O'Shea(god knows why), Wilson and Keogh ahead of him and before that Trappatoni preferred St.Ledger who never let Ireland down and Dunne and O'Shea as O'Neill is clueless I expect him to not play an in form Premier League defender in Clark ahead of O'Shea and Keogh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtysanchez Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) O'Neill has preferred O'Shea(god knows why), Wilson and Keogh ahead of him and before that Trappatoni preferred St.Ledger who never let Ireland down and Dunne and O'Shea as O'Neill is clueless I expect him to not play an in form Premier League defender in Clark ahead of O'Shea and Keogh Well there is no way you would drop O'Shea for his experience, Keogh had a great game in Glasgow a few months back, the back 4 on one team in training this week has been Coleman, JOS, Clark and Wilson so you may be wrong. I fully agree that Clark should be starting by the way Edited March 26, 2015 by Dirtysanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 To be fair to Oneill, its only this season that Clark has finally established himself as a good cb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Didn't Clark make a really bad error in one of the ROI games a while back that cost them a goal? It was similar to when he tried to Cruyff turn Tevez if I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 To be fair to Oneill, its only this season that Clark has finally established himself as a good cb Yes and this. To be fair someone like Marc Wilson at Stoke has been regularly playing CB for a good year now so whether you rate him or not you can understand why Ireland would put him above Clark in the pecking order until now. O'Shea is just in there for the experience really as it's quite a young back 4 without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I would have Clark and Wilson together. After what Gabby did to O'Shea I dread what Milik and Lewandowski will do to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
