Jores Okore

[supertom]

With the other CBs we have - Baker and Senderos - we need to cash in on Ron...if anyone will have him!
'The Mighty Reds YNWA' and ManU in a bidding war would be just fine.

UTV!

There's enough clubs struggling at the back who will hopefully be tempted. Just as long as they overlook the injury factor.

for me , its simple ball distribution ,  he makes a pass other players will know if they show it will be to feet not around the neck or midriff , that alone creates confidence

[Matt Collins]

It never ceases to amaze me how short term football fans' and journos' memories can be. Three games and everyone seems happy to bank on okore and clark going Feds

Vlaar's still out best defender for me and I'd rather keep him unless we have to pay over the odds

[passitsideways]

In my honest opinion, it's all about the cost. If he's willing to re-sign for a sensible wage (indication seems to be that this is not the case), I'm cool with it even with the dozen or so games he misses every season with injuries. I'd still prefer to see more from Clark and Okore before being genuinely comfortable with the prospect of them being our first choice CB pairing in the medium to long term.

Sorry Matt   going Feds  ??

Can you explain so I can get down with the kids please

[PaulWinch again]

If Vlaar is fit Okore better keep his place. There can be no excuses not to play him now.

[peter w]

The problem with Vlaar is his injury record. If he isn't going to sign a new contract and if the others are doing a more than competent job then we may as well cash in on him.

[PaulWinch again]

Okore has to start every week now. He made one positional mistake today but overall his anticipation was superb.

Okore has to start every week now. He made one positional mistake today but overall his anticipation was superb.

Both Jores and Carlos Sanchez have been a positive influence on the team in recent weeks. Clark too has performed with much credit.

[PaulWinch again]

He's great and his fitness levels are excellent as well. We have a real player on our hands.

Which he recovered from as well.

Him and Clark have been excellent.

[Dante Lavelli]

What was the reason for bringing Vlaar on yesterday?  Do you think lambert is 'one eyed' in trying to get him back into the side?

Extra height in the box.

[Matt Collins]

Yeah it was Vlaar who won the header that set up the benteke chance at the end I think?

With Hutton out next week I wonder if we'll see Okore at right back and VLAAR back in. Or maybe 352 (though given our defensive resilience this season with four I doubt it)

Guzan - Okore vlaar clark cissokho - sanchez Delph - gabby Weimann grealish - benteke

Given Lowton herd bacuna n'zogbia robinson and erm, someone else. Who is there?!

[Monty]

It's not just his anticipation, it's that he's genuinely quick as well. Surprisingly few centre-backs are really quick runners these days, so it's a big advantage.
