He's made the Eurosport European team of the week alongside Pique and Alba (also featuring Ronado and Messi) - I shit you not, check the Hutton thread.

And this gif is rather mesmerising, no?

Ha, yes it is.

I'm glad he's playing well - I did say on here recently that I generally have called most of our young players pretty accurately but I feel like I got Clark horribly wrong, as I was a huge fan of his when I watched him regularly in the reserves. So I've been more frustrated with him than most in recent seasons.

Deserves to be in the European team of the week for the tackle he made after the Westwood injury if nothing else. Get the ball and then put the man on his arse - that's how its done.

I thought he would go on to be another Cahill when he was captaining the reserves, and he"d got just a touch of the Bobby Moore"s about him. My lad's have laughed at me every time I've mentioned that he'll come good again. Chris Herd was another who impressed me in the reserves when he played a central midfield role, the guy may have had his problems but anyone who watched that demolition of the Arsenal reserves a few seasons back will know what he's capable of!

Yes, I too had the highest hopes for Clark but had just about given up on him. But he's done better recently so hopefully he's getting back on track.

I think Okore looks like the real deal too.

Okore has a touch of class about him. He and Clark seem to go together seamlessly. Maybe that's because both are playing on their natural side, so it's a comfortable fit.

So what's the betting that tomorrow Vlaar will be back and Okore will be out ?

by kimbo Fri Dec 12, 2014 2:53 pm

I'll be fuming if that happens.

Clark is naturally left sided Okore is naturally right sided. Media seem to think that Vlaar will play but he's also right sided, so Vlaar /Okore will leave Cissokho more isolated (imo).

I dunno, Vlaar does fine on the left and played there for most of his time in Holland. I just don't think either of the lads deserve to be dropped.

by **Trotters** Fri Dec 12, 2014 11:03 pm

Lambert can't drop either of them. They've been almost flawless and it's now their top to lose.

And if Lambert gives the nod to a player that has given every indication that he wants out over a player who's been upset at not playing then....well, it'll be a mistake that he'll just admit he's made and that'll be A-Ok with Lerner!
