Clarke: Zarate has little chance in this set-up

Former West Brom boss Steve Clarke – appearing as a pundit on the Irons/Malaga match this afternoon – appeared to nail the team’s attacking problems this afternoon

Discussing Mauro Zarate’s performance during the first 45 minutes against Malaga which sees us 2-0 behind, he made it clear the Argentine had no chance of creating an impressi0n.

He said: “The policy seems to be to have one up and two wingers but they never come inside and link with him.

“Zarate is surrounded by big defenders and for him to make an impact there have to be players linking with him.”
