The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

Win as a team, lose as a team. I am not blaming Clark for the goal. I am simply stating that he should/could have been stronger in preventing Gomis from getting to the ball ahead of him.great pass from Routledge, even better ball in from Montero. Poor defending from Bacuna, Okore and, unfortunately, for the otherwise reliable, Clark.

The only thing I think he could have done would be to foul him really and given the position would probably have been a straight red. Gomis will physically dominate a lot of CH's. Benteke on a good day too, sadly he didn't really.

Blaming Clark for the goal is silly.
Defending a pin point cross like that on the counter is virtually impossible

Completely absolving of blame the player right next to the fella who scored is a bit silly too.

As others have said, he needs to learn how to deal with physically stronger players than him if he's going to be a top defender, especiallyin a situation like Saturday when he's ran alongside him for half the length of the pitch and still hasn't got in front of him.

Player of the season contender is Clark,
But he shouldn't have let Gomez score that goal, the ball was there to be cleared and defended and he came up short on this occasion

Still having a great season though imo

Clark's not always going to be the faster player. In situations like that, you've got to stop the cross. That Montero had already beaten Bacuna once and looked dangerous. We either needed someone to get back and support Bacuna or swap Bacuna and Hutton over so that an experienced defender was defending.

Bacuna was our weak spot not Clark.

I appreciate they haven't been doing it all season but has anyone seen Leicester's last few games of the season.  Some very winnable ones there.

Could be down by then.

I just did a match predictor and was quite cautious and had it between us, Hull and Burnley. Unsurprisingly it will be the home games where we need the points anything we can get on the road is a bonus. A little crumb of comfort is that we held our own against a decent team like Swansea and could have snuck it so we should get something from our home games with a little luck and our crowd behind us.

No shit Sherlock ? no Sunderland?

How much 'holding our own' against Swansea depicts how far we have fallen.  If they get through this there simply must be radical changes of policy in the summer.

The way I see it we're in a 4 team league and we just need to finish third. Hardly ambitious I know, but I'd take that right now. Actually, if we can't manage that we deserve to go.

Bacuna was our weak spot not Clark.

That's the way I see it. Very hard to support any argument that Clark was at fault for the goal.

The fact that the player he was supposed to be marking scored the goal might be a flaw in the argument
