Big_John_10 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Do you guys think he will start v plop on saturday, as will Clark be fit in time? Okore was always going to become first choice, the only reason he didn't start against arsenal was lack of game time in pre season. He's in now thanks to a couple of injuries and I'd imagine he'll stay as a starter for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 only 3 goals conceded away to arsenal and chelsea very impresisve in my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 22, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2013 I agree that he'll ultimately be Vlaar's partner. But I don't think he's first choice yet. Clark only came off through injury and hasn't put a foot wrong yet. Knowing Clark, he'll put a foot wrong at some point, but I'd expect he'll start against Liverpool.

praisedmambo Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think he'll go with Okore. Okore made us look very solid and brought the best out of Vlaar. Close call though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feidhlim Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Difficult position for Lambert since Clark didn't really do anything wrong but neither did Okore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I hope he goes with Okore, really like this player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised if the partnership was Okore & Clark once Okore has adjusted to the pace of the premier league. Although Clark is capable of dropping clangers he appears to have more pace than Vlaar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgundy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Has an one figured out how to say his name yet? I thought it was (phonetically) Your-Us O-Kor-ay However some douche on the news the other day pronounced it as: Yours O-Kor Now I can’t sleep with worry.

BOF Posted August 22, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2013 Definitely remember reading a Norwegian poster saying his first name was pronounced Shaw-res then as you say 'O-Kor-ay' and that's the 'O' of 'On'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 When he came on he made a bad start when he lost Ba, but then did well. If he's out of position he has the recovery pace which is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Carlsen Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Definitely remember reading a Norwegian poster saying his first name was pronounced Shaw-res then as you say 'O-Kor-ay' and that's the 'O' of 'On'. I've heard danish people pronounce it as both "johres okoureh" and "djoures okoureh". That would be either "your-es" or "jaw-res" phonetically, but rather "okour-eh" than okour-ay. Ay would be a british twist on it I think. Edited August 22, 2013 by K-Carlsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Carlsen Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 "Jaw-res Okour-eh" it is. Pronounced by the man himself at 0:27. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 22, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yeah it is a softer 'J' so I can see where the Norwegian poster was coming from. Almost a 'Zh' sound. (I think we're splitting hairs now ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker is definitely ahead of Clark in the pecking order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMelvillan Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 So nice to have someone who can recover quickly. If he wasn't on the pitch Chelsea would have had a 3rd when they broke late on. I thought it was Tonev who made the speedy recovery when they broke late on. Or am thinking of a different occasion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Looked solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The starting job was always going to be his, now it's just happened sooner. You can already see he has class. He looks like he can play RB too, which is huge. We can't expect Lowton to be fit all year long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
