Brumstopdogs Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thought he wasn't at his best yesterday but still managed to make some decent interceptions. Needs to be more careful as against the better teams we are more likely to get punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Was pure class in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Very nervy in the first 20 minutes, great from the on. Has become a real leader at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Good performance. Still made mistakes that could have cost us. Consistency with age he will see this guy turn into a top European defender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Was pure class in the second half. When he randomly made a tackle not far out from their penalty area, was completely unexpected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm scared everytime he is on the ball, the physical aspect of his game is superb though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Like some of you said he had a very shaky start, but from there on out he was very good today. I still think that Clark is our finest option atm, but I can see Okore becoming really great for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that Clark is our finest option atm, but I can see Okore becoming really great for us. When you take into account his age, Okore's physical and technical attributes as a centre back are immense. As he gains experience he'll be fantastic for us and probably for a huge club after us. People also forget that really this is his first season for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 He needed to be physical at the end of the game to handle all the fans walking him off. Walked straight by me, he was happy but it looked a bit on top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Let's people run in behind him way too much but to be fair he never let's up or gives them a comfortable run. Something he needs to learn. Also, everytime the camera cut to him he appeared to be shaking his head and beating himself up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The pace and adrenalin this game threw up was a bit too much for him early on, but definitely came into his own after that. Once he begins to realise how potentially good he could be, then we'll see the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm not sure I want him as first choice next season. I'm losing confidence in him. He looks an accident waiting to happen too often at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 He's been going through a bad patch of late but second half he was back to his beastly self so hopefully he gets some confidence back from that and cuts out the brain farts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure I want him as first choice next season. I'm losing confidence in him. He looks an accident waiting to happen too often at the moment. As I said in my earlier post - people seem to forget his age and also the fact that this is his first season playing for us, he is still settling into a new league. Two big derby games back to back, one being a cup quarter final, partnered up with another young centre back (I know Clark has been performing incredibly well). We need to give him time, he and Clark could be a quality partnership for many years to come. Edited March 7, 2015 by samjp26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Young central defender inconsitent in the new league after long injury? that's not exactly surprising or unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Young central defender inconsitent in the new league after long injury? that's not exactly surprising or unexpected. Exactly, I didn't mention the injury but again another factor as to why he is understandably going to make errors. He has had a good season overall and I think next season he'll kick on and really shine. Edited March 7, 2015 by samjp26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 It IS his first ever season at this level, he is very young for a CB and has some really good attributes. As he adapts to the league I'm confident he will make less and less of those mistakes. Not very long ago Clark made moronic mistakes which lost us games as well, and now he looks like the most reliable CB at the club and possibly our overall most consistently good player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he arguably looks physically and technically more sound than Clark, his pace is incredible for a centre back especially after such a horrible injury. I genuinely think his potential is somewhat scary. Another pre-season and he'll hopefully start the 15/16 campaign in tip-top shape alongside his best buddy Ciaran. Baker and Senderos will provide sufficient back up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 bad start but he got a lot better as game went on. OKore and Clark could be a really great partnership in 5 years considering age of both of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
