HanoiVillan Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 This far out from a transfer window, 98% of rumours are pure nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it takes wild optimism to believe we won't concede 6 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfingers Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Would anyone on here be adverse to trying Okore in the role that Sanchez played tonight? I think Okore has all the attributes to play there as well as having better vision, more pace, better passing ability, more presence and more of a danger at dead ball situations. I personally wouldn't gamble playing him there in a relegation run in but with the benefit of hindsight, I would have tonight. He was unlucky to have been dropped but he's played a lot of games and is still very young for a central defender. I would love to see him have a run in front of the defence.

If your pushing a defender up, it would probably be Clark who moves to defensive mid. Okore looks too clumsy on the ball in my opinion. Sometimes he shows quick feet in tight situations but its a different kettle of fish being the holding player in midfield. His best attributes are pace, power and tackling. A weaker one is probably quick decision making on the ball, which Sanchez is far too slow at! Edited April 7, 2015 by BigCarew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think you just confirmed he is better equipped than Sanchez: "quick feet in tight situations" "pace" "power" "tackling" Clark will never be a midfielder, he is a stopper/hoof merchant/long ball merchant. He can't mop up and play the ball 5 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It was probably more an exhaustion thing. Hopefully we see him back next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't mop up and play the ball 5 yards Better equipped for his own position at centre half. Michael Carrick is a prime example, dominated the game against us. He broke it up where he needed to, played simple passes and stayed at the base of the midfield to protect the back 4 for counters. Sanchez at least looks calm technically on the ball but his decision making is woeful. And thus, when having less time on the ball I think Okore will struggle. Its the brain as well as the physicality ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Could he come in and play in the defensive midfield role due to our lack of options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 think it might be an option for one game he is decent on the ball and a good turn of pace so could give it a go. also maybe drop in as a 3 with Bacuna and Richardson as wing backs which could give them as much protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
