Jordan Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Don't blame him at all for the pen. Every defender does that on every corner. Only gets given against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I haven’t seen a replay of the pen incident but he was really poor overall today. Especially with the ball. Wasted it countless times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 If that’s a penalty then when VAR gets introduced permanently we need to use our three calls in pulling in the penalty area. 3 penalties a game that will get Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Day Gadgie Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I was quite pissed at the time but i thought Benteke also had a hold of Clark. Right or wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Mbemba is much better than Clark and yet he's nowhere to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Aye, thought clark was very poor today. Liability every time he is clearing the ball. Think the same about Darlow every time he has the ball at his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinoasprilla Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Mbemba hardly seen since Moratta pushed him to score at Chelsea. Benteke pushes Clark who reacts and tugs at his shirt. We didn't get either decision. I think rafa would prefer a defender to do what Clark did and so would I. That said Mbemba is a better player than Clark like to see him paired with Lascelles from now till season ends. Won't happen though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 We've got two defenders that cost more than him though that sit in the reserves/bench Lejeune has also cost us points this season, probably more per game played than this fella. I'd be very wary of sticking Lejeune straight back into the side as he looks like he takes a long time to get his sharpness back. His first game back earlier in the season (Southampton away) he looked like he had the turning circle of a fuel truck. He also gave away a pen at a time when it looked like we were home and hosed.

Optimistic Nut Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Looking back at that thread the general opinion was he was very good apart from the penalty. No issues other than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I don't think you can blame Clark for that pel, it was as soft as they come. Even Benteke didn't think it was, he thought he'd been pulled up for fouling Clark. The Shelvey one later, aye, that was a bit more blatant but the Clark 'foul' happens on every pitch up and down the country every game and very rarely gets punished. It was that dickhead lino who was quite clearly thrilled that he got to do something, twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Looking back at that thread the general opinion was he was very good apart from the penalty. No issues other than that. Really? His use of the ball was appalling. Mind, that goes for all the defence, so probably shouldn't single him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Last time I saw Lejuene play was vs Everton and he was no better than Clark in any capacity. Personally think Clark is a competent defender but as an overall footballer he's very poor. He'll die for the cause but when the ball is at his feet he's so uncomfortable.

I think Lejeune reads the game a lot better, Clark seems to get caught out of position an awful lot. I think Lejeune has the makings of a really good defender but he needs a 3 month run as a starter. He's not looked fit since Kane crocked him and it's a risk giving him that run now imho due to how slow he looked when he last came back from injury. I'd be looking to next season for him at this stage. Just hope we're a premiership side then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
