His YouTube video wasn't even that great I'm not even exaggerating when I say there were about 8 times he could've slipped Gabby/Weimann/Delph through for a clear chance and sent it into row Z in that game. I also remember him being brought on when we were really knocking on the door at 1-0 down against Liverpool. His constant shots killed our momentum. We got one last chance to put one on Benteke's head with a free kick from 40 yards out. Tonev shot, wellied it a mile wide, and the final whistle went. Easily the worst I've ever seen at Villa, and, again, that's saying something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his performance in that City game made me want to pour vinegar in my eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as bad as Tonev thou. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I know but it still weird how a player goes from hero to zero. Personally I don't think hes played enough games to be considered. Theres been a number of players in the past that have been really really rubbish at the beginning of their villa careers and turned out good.

Only game I can remember him starting was Cardiff at home and he was useless (game where Bacuna hit one of his nice free kicks). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Okore was a disappointing signing because i think he had great potential but the injury ruined him. I dont consider him a dickhead like some others mentioned even though Eric Black tried make himout to be one. He also got the magical goal to break the duck when we went about 5 months without a goal under Lambert 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree injury messed him up. When he came back in 14/15 I'm sure him and Clark had a good run going for a couple of months and we didn't concede many goals. Ultimately people just remember the awful cup final game (when he was playing on one leg) and then the calamity performance at Luton. In similar category to Kozak anyway.
