Jores Okore

[Dante Lavelli]

A problem with playing Okore is that it mean Vlaar gets to look very awkward on the left side of the two centre backs.
Whilst Okore is the better individual player, the sum of the parts might be better with Vlaar and Baker.

[Toronto Villa]

If Okore is available he'll be on the bench and we will start with Vlaar and Baker.

[Ron Manager]

If Okore is available he'll be on the bench and we will start with Vlaar and Baker.

I think that will be the case TV. But if Wenger plays Walcott as a central striker Ron Vlaar better be at his absolute best to cope with him.

Depending on injuries, it might not be a bad shout to play Baker or Lowton at LB.  Lowton did OK vs WBA.

I wonder why lowton didn't play when Richardson picked up his injury

If there is a doubt about Richardson's fitness then Lowton has to be a better solution that N'zogbia.

[Matt Collins]

If we play nzogbia at left back it will be a catastrophe

Really hope Richardson is properly fit. If not, I'd go lowton over Hutton. I'd have cissokho ahead of either of them but he looks out of favour

If arsenal don't play with a proper wide right our left back could be a key outball.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

He won't play Charlie left back. He did it last game just to fill the gap. Not going to happen.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Lowton did well when he filled in at left back for a few games.
Why Sherwood didn't play him there v Soton I'll never know - Hutton was a disaster...made the back 4 unbalanced and with Cardboard Ron and Okore having mares it's no wonder we shipped 6!

Okore looks ok in the training pics...just hope he makes it for Saturday.
Baker marking Walcott worries me a bit - I can see him getting a late consolation goal as Nathan's concentration slips while he thinks about how to avoid swearing during his victorious post-match interview.

[Matt Collins]

Yeah baker looked a bit leaden footed on Sunday

I think it's probably a case of who is fittest plays

[ozzjim]

Thought Okore was one of the few bright spots of the final. Him and Clark could be a genuine solution at centre back with a couple of full backs that can actually defend.

[Steve67]

Not for me Ozzjim. Too small and they lose their marker too often.

[Matt Collins]

Clark's been great this year!

[Toronto Villa]

Okore is just over 6ft. That's not too small for a CB. Clark is 6' 2
