Sorry, but again I have a feeling of smug satisfaction about this.
Yet again, he is played at LEFT MIDFIELD, and yet again turns in a fine display, I've said it before this is his best position, and isn't it ironic its also the position we have the most first team options in (4 players could make this spot their own). I actually think his WORST position is left back. He has proved very capable at left "wing-back" , Centre-Back, Left-midfield. He is capable at Left-Back, but not at 1st division standard.
BTW i figured this out a few seasons back, playing Championship manager, where he was an ever present at left midfield for me, or left wing back, if I played
3-5-2 .. if I played 4 at back, I always brought in a dedicated left back.

Great to see him back at his best. He's a great player whereever he plays, especially in midfield!

I think his best position is Centre Midfield. Would love to see him and Eustace in the middle together.

How funny would it be if he beat Jimmy to the full international team? ;D ;D

It would indeed.
and if he plays in his best positions (ie not left back), he could well do it, hes still got years left in the game (touch wood, baring injuries)
Go on Clarke, make em eat their words.

I know a Stokie who literally hates Clarkey. Everything he does he berates, due to the fact he is a cocky git! (in his opinion!) I'll admit, I've never been a HUGE fan of Clarkey (like I am Akinbiyi, Asaba, Eustace, Ed etc), but when he is good, he's really good! I still prefer Marcus Hall, admitedly, but Clarkey offers us versatility and that is vital to any squad. He can play left back, wing back, left wing, central defence or central midfield. He's having a superb few months and his form is top notch. Whoever plays for Stoke should get our full backing, especially when they play as well as Clarkey has recently! Triffic! Jon  |

Now I know the Irish are shite, but I really can't see Clarke getting a full international cap. Good player on his day he may be, but he's really not international standard. Even in a left midfield role.
That Graham Kavanagh, now you're talking international class... ;D
