Clean sheet v Man City suggests he does not make that many mistakes.
Man City have scored in every other game they have played this season him and away apart from the the away game v Man U.
I expect Man City's keeper Joe hart has made more mistakes this season!
Everyone make mistakes form time to time.
Clark and Richards today showing that one of Sherwood's (many) mistakes was signing Lescott and then making him a fixture - he's been dire since signing.
I'd have in for Bosnia, definitely.
I thought he did really well today.
I'd start him in Bosnia too, but torn between CB and LB. Probably LB, because I want Brady to play LM.
I'd just play Wilson left back to release Brady, he's a bit more used to that position than Clark and Keogh/Clark might have a better balance than Keogh/Wilson. I'd be tempted to play Ward to be honest and go with Wilson/Clark. Or, indeed, just leave Brady left back. Plenty for MON to ponder.
Either one of Clark-Keogh or Clark-Wilson would fill me with greater confidence than Keogh-Wilson, for some reason. Purely gut feeling. Would probably favour Clark with Keogh.
He actually got man of the match, and made a game high 11 clearances!
It's so fickle. If the referee had (correctly?) given the penalty against him he'd be in the firing line big time, especially after Monday night. Delighted for him though, he deserved a break.

Clark was absent from the Aston Villa squad on Saturday. I presume he must have been injured but I can't find anything online. The commentator on MOTD mentioned that Lescott came in for "the injured Richards" and Okore started his first PL game since losing 6-1 in the same ground last season. I saw a good bit of the game, Villa didn't defend well at all but Southampton were extremely wasteful. Villa were blessed to get a point really.

Liability. He'll never move to Cork at the end of his career with those stats.Quote:

It's been waiting to happen, especially after him picking up his fourth yellow a while back.Quote:

Villa have serious problems at left back without Amavi. He could be an option thereQuote:

Maybe Villa are a team under pressure and whose back 4 come under pressure a lot but it would be mean to quibble over such perfect footie knowledge.
I am now a bit shy to predict that Randolph will eventually concede another goal.
