heffoman Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 One occasional performance is not enough anymore.Hopefully burnt his bridges and will do the usual WBA, BCFC and Walsall transfer tour soon.Absolutely moronic comment.

villianusa Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Puts in a very good performance, now he needs it to do it consistently. If he does, he will have a big say if we get relegated, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Why not? He did for much of last season. Clark is a limited footballer and slightly lightweight but he reads the game very well and he looks a better shout than Lescott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 No disrespect to anybody, but the writing off of players is done by fans too easily (not just Villa fans). We only have to look at other threads today, and players who were written off, or worse, are getting praise for the performances. We just need to look at players who left Villa, because "they weren't good enough", and have gone to have very good careers in the Premier League.It just takes the right manager, the right words, the right formation, right team selection, and so called poor players can flourish.The club has been in a slump for a while, with managers who haven't performed at their best. If we have a manager who can perform at his best, I'm sure players will follow suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted November 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2015 Bottom line, we need to play with two centre backs. Richards picks himself, so we need to decide on another one. Clark was better today than Lescott has been at any point since arriving, ergo for me it's now Clark's place to lose.This is why talk of selling him is stupid. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Played well today, he'll never be the best centre half in the league. Deserves a run ahead of Lescott on that performance. Although ironically I thought Lescott had his best game for us so far against Spuds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Richards-Clark hasn't been too bad, our back 4 looked reasonably solid in August, just stupid errors costing us goals from Clark and Amavi.Still Lescott has been inflicted on us it's been looking a car crash there so keep Lescott out of the team please.

Lescotto is diabolical, when was the last time we've had a CB play this bad for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted November 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2015 Why not? He did for much of last season. Clark is a limited footballer and slightly lightweight but he reads the game very well and he looks a better shout than Lescott. i know we are all entitled our own opinion, but Clark being good at reading the game? ANyhow just glad there was no major mistake from him, he is the lightweight clone of richard numpty dunne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 As I said before, I really think it's all about who he plays next to. If you look back at all his bad performances over the past couple of years it's almost always been next to Vlaar, Baker or more recently Lescott. Put him next to Okore or Richards and he's very good most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 He needs pace alongside him, someone to cover when he gets caught out.Only problem is we defended pretty well as a unit today yet still continually left men unmarked in the middle of the six yard box and somehow got away with it. But it cost us v Swansea with Ayew's goal.Our players aren't very good against quick 1-2s and off the ball movement, a reason why Arsenal keep on smashing us these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Didn't he do one of his trademark tackles in the penalty area? Looked a great tackle from where I was sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Clark is a highlights dream. He is either flying in to challenge's and making great last ditch tackles giving the impression that he could finally be maturing into a decent center half, or he is giving away stupid free kicks/penalties and generally giving us his Titus Bramble impression. Today was the former and he deserves credit, however I always feel uncomfortable with him in the team and would hope he is replaced sooner rather later.

TrentVilla Posted November 8, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) His mistakes this season (Palace, Sunderland, Spurs) were nothing to do with who he was or wasn't playing alongside they were his own weaknesses in his game and his inability to eradicate them.The way Kane rolled him on Monday was simply appalling, he was good today but I just don't think he is good enough to play consistently at that level.
