i don't think it was clyne's fault as such, that he, a pretty short full back was left to mark a towering forward and beaten to a header by Lambert
After Clyne's reaction to hotel, I had to have a look...only clue: G8 summit held there...Hotel Royal, Eviens. Grand looking 5 star hotel...with fantastic views and an infinity pool (very nice).
Yeah I don't think it's possible to improve his height through training. I'm sure he can still improve in the technical art of defending though - better in the tackle, positioning, marking, and just being a little stronger. He'll learn.
I am delighted with the signing of Clyne. A good friend who supports Palace told me he is brilliant and that is good enough for me. A few people are concerned about his height but he is 1/2 inch shorter that Ashley Cole and that doesn't seem to have affected his career.
