Vive_La_Villa Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Said in the summer we needed a defender was told it was not a priority as we had the brilliant Clark . Woeful player if he is the main cb for the season we go down he is that bad. If Albion still want him for 3 or 4 m I'd get shot I wouldn't go that far but he does not need to be replaced.

sexbelowsound Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Not good enough. I didn't buy into the Clark hype so much last season and he can definitely be improved upon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 He was poor for the second goal, but the ball should've never ever even got there. Both Westwood's long ball and Sanchez' weakness put Clark in a one-on-one situation. Definitely should've done better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 anyone else think he stood off him as he was already on a yellow and didn't want to risk a challenge. Of course he was on a yellow because of a brainless tackle out on the left wing in the first half, which left sunderland with a 3 on 2 in the box and needed richards to make a great clearance.

KSV Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) After he got beaten there wasnt much cover either. Amavi got caught on the break.. too far forward.. i was yelling dont commit!!! and he over runs it. Poor poor goal to concede. Really dumb play.

villianusa Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 For all those coming out with the "crap" player, bar for the poor defending, what else did you see him do wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 For all those coming out with the "crap" player, bar for the poor defending, what else did you see him do wrong?for a central defender poor defending is pretty fundamental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I don't think he's crap at all. There's many more players who have made many more mistakes. Selling him to West Brom for £3/4m would've been terrible business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 For all those coming out with the "crap" player, bar for the poor defending, what else did you see him do wrong? for a central defender poor defending is pretty fundamental So is distribution from a goalkeeper, dribbling from a winger, goals from a forward, etc... But I don't see people going overboard on those players, or Amavi for his piss poor effort last week. Or Richards for pushing out against United, when two Villa players behind him, and then diving in Janusi (sp?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasGasGas Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Back to his crap, liability mode from before last season. Cost us 2 goals in 2 games now, which is to the tune of 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is a thread about Clark and the latest posts are about his performance in our most recent game so it's only right that you'll see criticisms about him. Do you think he had a good game?

theboyangel Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Unfortunately his mistake cost us the win. Problem is, defensive mistake usually cost us points and therefore we need better players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar his poor defending? isn't that his whole purpose? I did think his hair looked a little off. That was one instance in 90 minutes, the only other one I could think of, was the slide tackle on the touchline. And that was to try and cover Amavi, after he lost the ball again.

Technically we could say it was Richards slide and deflection that cost us the points. If he had been in position and covering Clark, he wouldn't have had to slide.

VillaChris Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It's the little things with Clark really, he's no longer a car crash for 90 minutes but little things like not being strong enough against Dann and letting Lens get past him too easily are costing us goals and hence he'll be replaced for Leicester.
