BOF Posted August 10, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 10, 2015 He was lucky on that alright. If Wilson had been less honest he'd have been within his rights to go down after that push in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 How can Clark be in the worst team of the week ahead of someone like Coates, for example? or Mertesacker or Koscielny. That 1st goal was comical as said wouldnt worry about goal.com, thought was just the transfer rumours that was garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2015 Just watched the Match again. Clark was very good, again. Last year was no fluke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambertout into Veretout Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Really needs to cut out the 40yd sand wedge forward passes, think that is 5 or 6 now in the first half, each time it concedes possession.

VillaChris Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Another solid game for him aside from the goal which he should've got across quicker. Considering the car crash he looked not so long ago he's made a lot of progress in last 18 months so much so I don't get heart murmurs when I see him on the ball.

dudevillaisnice Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) I can see what we are trying to do by playing out the back but it's very nerve wracking to watch. Richards looks a bit more comfortable by passing out the back but it's pointless when they pass it to each other then hoof it with no target man upfront. Still, early days.

MrSmirch Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Really needs to cut out the 40yd sand wedge forward passes, think that is 5 or 6 now in the first half, each time it concedes possession. I think that's something they work on in training, to try and get one of the forwards behind the defence. Remember the second goal against sunderland last year where gabby was sent through 1 on 1? Probably would have worked better if we were targeting Blind as Smalling was eating those up but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, early days. dont think its as nerve wrecking as when Baker will be playing it out from the back think Houllier tried the same thing and its easier to watch Richards and Clark do it than Cuellar and Collins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I think with these links to Lescott and Fonte, it's clear Clark is most at threat for the centre half position. Despite his new deal I think this is just a case of tieing down our talent and avoid another Delph situation. Unfortunately Clark was most guilty of lumping the ball and losing possession while Richards was alot more comfortable on the ball. I really like Clark but I do think he'll be paying more of a support role in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 22, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2015 Still don't think he is good enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Still don't think he is good enough. He's not. Despite the hype about him over the summer on here. Beaten for the first goal this week, ball spooned off him for the goal last week. He's crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Still don't think he is good enough. I think he is, but he was very poor against Dann. You can knock Baker, but he would never have been pushed away like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, like 99% of the posts on this site its opinion, if everyone put in my opinion at the end of every post it would be a little silly. In my opinion. People can think Clark is good enough if they want but his performances and the goals he costs us suggest otherwise. Again, in my opinion to save you another post.

jacketspuds Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Clark is not good enough. If he was as fantastic as some make out we would not be finishing 16th/17th for the last few seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Baker is even worse, neither are good enough not even close to being. You must be pretty livid at the combined 9 years of contract they've been awarded this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
