Pilko Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 The present day Aaron Hughes, ultra-consistent and unfussy in the extreme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Rafa knew how to sign a good CB, shame his fullback signings are iffy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I suppose you have to give Bruce some credit as he obviously prefers no nonsense defenders like Clark over the Schar types who like to bring the ball out. He played a good game on Saturday but wasn't really up against much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a good game on Saturday but wasn't really up against much. Why does preferring simple defenders deserve credit? Because Clark has generally performed well when he's come in so it sort of vindicates the decision. Not that I agree with it, but I think Schar needs a manager like Rafa to get the best out of him.

Kanji Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 He was so bloody good in the Championship season I assumed the long-term partnership was going to be him and Lejeune. Clark has a clangor or two in him, but he's always a decent threat on set pieces and have always been a fan of his. Solid, reliable. Nothing seems better than a good left footed CB who plays on the left side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 He started out with a couple of pretty poor games in that Championship season, but quickly found a consistent level of performance and hasn't really ever looked out of place. We had waaaaay worse over the years than Ciaran Clark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Always said I liked him before he signed for us, he's a very decent player. Similar level to Fernandez and advantage of left-footed. Personally I like our team much better with Shar playing. But if we aren't interested in passing it, we aren't interested in passing it.

Superior Acuña Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Love's a goal! 11th league goal for us (8PL). More than Phillipe Albert (8) and closing in on Steven Taylor (13). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Always good for a goal anarl. Hope yae had some cash on that Unfortunately not. I'd given up hope of us ever scoring from a corner given the shite deliveries Shelvey, Ritchie and Longstaff put in. Nee coincidence it was one from Fraser.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I’d play him in a back three with Schar the opposite side and one of Lascelles & Fernandez when all fit. There’s absolutely zero from CM so might as well just pick any two to sit there and let Clark and Schar bring the ball out instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
