Brauhauser2012 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Weeks after week I watch this guy jogging about aimlessly. Today we took off Meshino and left Clare on. Meshino is 21 and didn't look tired at all and his goal was fantastic. Clare had one attacking run, other than that can't think of any contribution.

GinRummy Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Had a poor end to first half and I didn’t want to seem him re-appear for second but he was lively first twenty minutes of first half and thought he battled well and fought to get into the game in second half. Done his bit today and showed some neat touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebo Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I thought Clare played very well today, and I’ve been pretty vocal in my criticism of him. Finally saw the sort of aggression that he needs to display to have a positive impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Meshino offered little second half. Clare was decent today. Not sure why anyone would single out any of our players. All were decent a few were very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 think he works best in a 3 behind the striker. Work hard, won tackles and made a few pushes into the box. If we can get him confident I think he will turn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Thought Clare had one of his better games. Some good play, was tough and flew into tackles. Defensively though I think he was leaving Hickey a lot to cover during the first half. Think he is best in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldie83 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 OP obviously just has it in for the guy.

Brauhauser2012 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Most people seem to think he played well today. I'm always open to being wrong, its just the way you see it sometimes. I see him losing possession going forward , not tracking back, not defending, others obviously see something else. I'd love to see him take some players on, keep possession and get a shot off on target or thread the ball through to someone else in a scoring position. Perhaps if I keep watching him I'll see what everyone else sees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos_1874 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Clare is the de facto fans' scapegoat. Yes, he has underachieved relative to what I thought we were getting, but he is actually often no worse than a lot of the other underperformers who get a much easier time of it from the fans. Thought he did reasonably well today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre in larger parts and offers no support to the full back behind him. Going forward he can look a threat but still doesn’t do anywhere near enough. Silly booking aswell.

At least 3 times today he covered the ground to block passes, he covered back and won a header at the back post, several flick ons header wise today, a few weeks back he hardly got off the ground. I just think he could offer more and does look lazy tracking back at times but competition for places will bring out the best in him, as will letting him settle in one position.

Yeah fair point. He played well first half but didn’t get into the game in the second half. That’s when we need Mulraney and Clare to step up as we struggled a bit for creativity without Meshino.

Russ1977 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Excellent cross for the uche header that hit the bar and a couple of good driving runs second half. Problem is he looks lost when we’ve not got the ball. Doesn’t track runners and is really slow to close the opposition down. I’m not sure if it’s lack of will or he just doesn’t sense danger. Whatever it is he needs to improve on it if he wants to have a successful career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clare had too many poor passes and never worked hard enough I really felt sorry for young Hickey as Clare just never help the kid enough. It seems Clare is getting away with a couple of good runs and that’s all he does. How he gets away with it shows you that he is a favourite of Levein who can do no wrong.

been here before Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Was ok today but as usual seemed to fade. There's times where he's really slow to read the game. There's a saying about the first yard being in your head, Clare seems to lack this when the balls in open play. Some nice footwork at times but Im still just not seeing it. Interesting to note in todays programme that should he play against Livvy next week and in Perth next Wednesday he'll have 50 games under his belt. As an aside and before the 'He's only singled out cos he's black' morons wade in, may I also point out there are threads on the following players after todays game Meshino Berra Whelan Uche Michael Smith Pereira.
