Maradona10 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Well it's nothing to be ashamed of, they have made many teams chase their shadows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claret75 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Best of our current crop of youngsters in my opinion! i think he could be a good CB, when he gets stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 He's got excellent prediction of the ball, and to be fair, he can hit a ball, it was a sweet goal he scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a decent strike, but he had all day to control it and hit it. Still a good goal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxVilla Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 He's got excellent prediction of the ball, and to be fair, he can hit a ball, it was a sweet goal he scored. I'm not trying to be too negative or anything, I've been mightily impressed by Clark this season, but after seeing the replay that first goal was really down to Carew being in Fabianski's eye line which forced the keeper to lean to the wrong direction. The goal was not that well placed and had Carew not been there I'm pretty sure it would have been any easy save for Fabianski. That said I thought we were outclassed by a very good side today and nobody really covered themselves in glory - thought Clark put in one of the better performances in the claret and blue today. He's clearly not afraid to get into the box and he also seems more than happy to drop back into the defensive line and make it more like 5 in the back when we're on the back foot. Kind of funny but it seems at the moment he's the most 2-way center mid we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 27, 2010 Moderator Share Posted November 27, 2010 I like his calm and ability on the ball and he does love a tackle as well ...just a case now of what role do we develop him for (see Gareth Barry as an example ) I see him more as a Southgate than a Barry - he's a much more natural defender than midfielder. The fact that like both of those he's been able to hold his own in the other position says good things about him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 He played ok today, the whole team spent the game chasing shadows tbh. Glad he got his goals he is a threat, will do his confidence the world of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I see him as such a classy player with the ball at his feet. You always see the top teams play their way out of trouble like arsenal, able to pass it around for fun at the back. He fits right in there and has good distribution. I would play him with cuellar, both dunne and collins are not good enough. (i know cuellar is no nonsense but he is a quality defender and much better than collins and dunne) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Man of the match for me without a doubt, well done to Houllier for putting him in midfield. Two class goals and should have had a hat trick too. I really like Clark, I think he will be great for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Clark has that versatility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Barring the two goals I thought he was our best player today. Nothing special but did his job well. He was one of the only players to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 16 incompleted passes today, Bannan had 13, that's where some of the problems were today, 29 passes given away isn't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 said at the game how can Carew not have been interfering and ruled offside , seeing the replays shouldn't the goal have been chalked off ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yeah i posted that in the carew topic.. what the hell was he doing there anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Who cares? Tbf Carew wasn't exactly dancing around in front of Flappianski, the keeper could have gone right a bit rather than bob from side to side trying to see round a bloke about 12 yards away. It was a cracking strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
