Colin Clarke Played Quotations

We've got good flexibility in our midfield and with our forwards. He's played there last year and this year, so you know, we'll see how it goes.

Obviously, his size is an advantage. He's got good feet for a big man. He played up front in his early days, so he's got good feet and is good on the ball. He needs to keep improving as he is certainly being pushed from behind by some of the young kids. It's good to have that competition as well.

Just having a look at some different options. Steve played out there (at right back) in L.A. and did a good job and he did a good job tonight. I thought Bobby was great in front of him, he could have scored another two or three he got forward well. It's a more solid look, just to have a look at it going into the playoffs and just open our options up.

Mark played very, very well. He came in and got his goal. I was very pleased for him. He was here last year and played towards the end of the year. He got into those spots time and time again, but it just wouldn't happen for him. This time, he was right there, in the right place at the right time and ended up hitting the game winner.

Yeah, he has played well. He has a bit of a groin strain, but he went through 45 minutes (Saturday against Houston) and I thought he showed some nice touches and combined well with the group, so he's doing well.

We definitely deserved to get something from the game. We played well enough, even with 10 men, to get something from the game. But our own errors cost us two goals in the first half,

First half we dominated the game. We had a couple chances (and) the first goal we knew was going to be important. We dragged ourselves back twice from behind; we showed a lot of character. ... We played 120 hard minutes on Wednesday night and I think it took its toll on us toward the end. We couldn't get close enough to them at times and we gave up a few chances.

What best players? ... Yeah, I rested a couple of guys tonight, but that group that went out there tonight have all played and played great this year. I'm not taking anything away from that group that played tonight. They were magnificent.

It was an end-to-end game with plenty of chances. The humidity probably had a little impact on everybody -- the first time everyone has played in that kind of weather.
