Jores Okore

[Matt Collins]

It was the kind of own goal someone who's never played football would score

I don't even know what the hell he was trying to do

[LukeJames]

The finish was bad but his positioning in the build up to the goal was bewildering, he charged out to left midfield, I thought it was Tshibola at first until I realised it was Okore, I actually yelled at the screen What the fuck are you doing?!

I can't find the thread about this joker, so can a mod merge it for me but tonight is possibly the worst defensive display I've seen in 30 years from him.

After last seasons shenanigans where he's refused to take his seat on the bench he should have been fucked off and sold, whatever price they can get for him. Terrible, panicky, last ditch, hoof merchant of a defender and another who's developed a real attitude problem.

12 months left on his contract, get ride of now, take whatever we can get for him. Joke defender.

wasnt his last appearance for the club v Liverpool last season?

Ali Dia esque

[Clampy]

Personally, he looked like the only one at times who was trying to hold the defence together. Like i said on another thread, play Hutton and Richards in the same defence and that's what happens.

... the worst defensive display I've seen in 30 years from him.

Has he beat Charlie Aitkens appearance record ?

Play Richards alone in defence and that happens. Play Hutton and he gets murdered every time anyone runs at him.

[London Villan]

Seeing it again i think he means to score.

[prmort]

He did well to get back on side. He took it well in the end.
I would have expected a bit more of a celebration though... running round waving his shirt around his head, that sort of thing.

[Malandro]

I've watched it a few times now and conclude he has a pea brain. He has no idea the ball is coming his way.

As Graham Taylor famously said "Went to fucking sleep"

[German James]

I thought at first he just let the ball bounce off his foot the way a five year old might, but he looks like he's trying to do something deliberate... No idea what, though.

[RussellC]

I've said it a few times in the past, but I think Okore is dreadful. I've never seen what others have in him. His positioning and reading of the game are that of a Sunday league player. He has absolutely no composure and I don't think I've ever seen him even talking to one of his defensive colleagues, let alone attempt to organise them. Comfortably our worst centre-back, and yes I include Richards in that. The own goal, wasn't misfortune, it was caused by a terrible body-shape and pitiful reactions. I'd gladly never see him in a Villa shirt again.

[Ads]

There is an air of constant panic about Okore.

I cannot settle when he's in the defence. He looks like he has roller skates on his feet and his picking his way through a minefield.

He makes Baker look assured. Actually, at least you know what Baker can and cannot do. With a brain next to him, Baker can look good at this level, without, not so much. I don't know what Okore is going to do and neither do his team mates.

Awful. Sell or shoot, whatever, just get rid.

[Chris Jameson]

He's Bramble-esque, no composure whatsoever. Would be funny if he wasn't wearing a Villa shirt.

Is it just me or is RDM trying really hard not to laugh?

No - you are right. He knows he can't burst out laughing... but really thats the only thing you can do. Its so comedically crap you almost think that some of the team put 3-1 on at a bookies....
