dudevillaisnice Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Genuinely hope he isn't starting for us next season. Never rated him. Might be Villa "through and through" but simply put he isn't good enough and never has been. I'm not even sure he would be good at championship level either.

DCJonah Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Had such high hopes for him a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 At 3.7×108 years of age he shouldn't be making stupid lunges in at the halfway line like that. Amateur defending. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I must say if there were any truth in the rumours that Albion would be prepared to pay 5m for him, i'll happily drive him to the Hawthorns myself. Not a youngster anymore and still makes silly decisions/mistakes almost every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Ok while I thought it was harsh the criticism he received a couple days ago, he's been absolutely awful today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked good for long periods against Zlatan to then go and score an own goal. Even today, there have been good moments before that stupid decision for the goal. There is a cock up in this bloke every game. Copied from the Euro thread, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) Clark always has a mistake in him, can't believe we gave him a 5 year contract. Sell him to West Brom ASAP! Edited June 18, 2016 by Supervillan78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember him making too many errors then because he was playing with confidence. We haven't seen that player since Richards came into the fold and was made captain by Sherwood when Clark was clearly the best choice. RDM needs to back him as our main CB hopefully next to Okore and it won't be long before we see the best of him again. unstoppable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Awful He's going to come back from the euro's knackered as well not someone we want to be relying on a tough slog in the championship next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDVILLAIN Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 He is just a disaster waiting to happen..as others have said here "he has a mistake in him every game"..it just tends to be a major mistake everytime leading to goals...sell him on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 He's just not good enough for us. With his inept distribution and his poor decision making he will cost us goals and points if he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been goal side of Hazard, giving the rest of the defence chance to catch up with play. Or at least attempting to. He was never going to win that ball, he was a million miles away from putting it or Hazard into the stand. Shocking decision. I was under the impression he plays well for Ireland generally?

1958Villan Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I've been saying for years Ciaran Clark is a square peg in a round hole. There is no way he is a central defender and he never was, he has always been a holding midfielder, until the genius O'Neil decided to make him play in the centre of defence, without giving the lad any proper training in the position. Now it is too late to train him how to play properly as a centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve's point was more that given he was never getting the ball he absolutely had to take the man. A yellow card and no one ever remembers the terrible positioning and anticipation, e.g., Italian bastards. I've no idea what O'Neill said at half time, but we clearly got too aggressive with the defence being consistently way up the field and spread out. That's just not how to play this kind of team. Though, we were lucky in the first half. I think Clark is generally quite solid when playing for Ireland, but normally we are much more compact... he's clearly been infected with the Villa disease with todays rickett and and the OG against Swedan. I'd be ok if we kept him as I think he's generally a good guy, but I'd hope we are looking at upgrading. Then again, champo is rubbish and perhaps exactly his level.

Butterfingers Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Why is Clark even starting for Ireland? I thought they had better defenders than him. Is someone injured? I think any chance we had of getting any sort of fee for him will have gone out of the window now. With his contract, I think we'll be stuck with him next season.
