The errors that are noticed are the errors that are most costly usually, or to put it another way the most costly errors are the noticed errors unfortunately.
He went down in front of us holding his head in his hands. I'm sure it was disappointment but I'm also pretty sure it was a how did i let that happen "head in hands" moment also.

Gave away a 5th minute penalty for handball v Norwich. Lucky for him Guzan saved it.

Played pretty well in the second half.
I would have a very different opinion in that I rate defensive errors according to the standards of defensive play.Originally Posted by paul_oshea
Dunne's 'error' was on the margins, according to the testimony of many, so marginal as to not apportion blame to him.
There was a vastly more serious error, earlier in that game, but the difference was, the Swede blew the opportunity.
In my book, a defensive howler is a defensive howler, just because it didn't prove directly costly, doesn't reduce the error value.
And I would say, even if that early howler didn't prove immediately costly, it certainly appeared to ignite the Swedes.
Ball hit him from a couple of yards. Never a deliberate handball and a very harsh decision.
One of his best performances for some time, he was largely excellent in helping Villa claim their first clean sheet in 26 games.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
That's what I thought. He showed real confidence and authority, dare I say leadership from what I saw. Nearly deflected a dangerous cross into his own goal but overall was very good.
Was very impressed with Clark today. Will big player for us, just needs the experience.
Always look on the bright side of life
Thankfully played no part in a 4-0 home defeat to Spurs in the League Cup. Vlaar and Baker both played 90 minutes in an otherwise very much weakened Villa side. Probably a good sign that Clark sat this one out.
Clark is back from the niggle that kept him out midweek and is playing in midfield against Man City.
Back in the starting XI for Villa today against United
Ball watching for Uniteds goal!
100 plus appearances for Villa and he still can't do the basics right.
Seen him a few times for Villa, he's dreadful!
Another false dawn for us.
As soon as I saw that goal I thought: The Doc will be on about that!
The doc never disappoints
As soon as I saw Clark was playing I knew posters on here would be bigging him up.
So do you think he wasn't ball watching for their goal?
Plenty on here would be moaning if he did it for us.
I think he's poor, just my opinion.
I know my Footie
Change the record Chazza!The doc never disappoints
It's my opinion.
I think you might be better off concentrating on your own performance and getting back to match fitness before slagging off your former team mates
Doc, I wasn't bigging him up and I do think he was at fault. All I was saying was that I knew you'd be on about it. If you hadn't I probably would at the end of the game. I've always said he is error prone, but I still think he could be a consistently good player. I'm wondering will he be given a run at left back for Ireland. We're not good in that position and we are decently covered at CB even if our third best CB has played less football than me in the last 8 months
Haven't seen in in-depth but I thought it looked like Vlaar and the lack of tracking in midfield left him exposed. Two free men to mark by himself.

3rd best? Thank God, the Gaffa, thinks differently! 😜
Erm, there was a solitary post mentioning that he was back in the starting eleven.
St. Ledger can mark three men by himself.
