baulderdash77 2,494 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 With his physical profile and disruptive playing I could see him switch over to CB. What he needs is 1st team minutes or he will stagnate on the vine like so many have at TFC. costarg, Dominic94 and Ivan 3 Link to post Share on other sites

He also has looked great attacking in the U20s so I'm reluctant with the he's big therefore he should be CB argument. Link to post Share on other sites

El Hombre 2,449 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Imagine if you put Okello in the Delgado position where he has the freedom to roam and chase down the ball. The difference is that once he wins it, he'd have the skill to actually make a play with the ball. yomurphy1, gator and Greatest Cockney Rip Off 3 Link to post Share on other sites

He’s got too much skill Yes, because it's possible to be too skilful as a CB. Somebody better alert Virgil Van Dijk.* *I don't have an opinion on whether or not Noble Okello can or should be played at CB. However, to suggest that he's too skilful to play there is a foolish assertion. It's like saying that a particular player is too big to play as a winger or full-back. That being said, that's a different claim than saying that he'd be better deployed in midfield in a particular team, depending on the other options across the pitch.

dyslexic nam 11,432 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I had to pick my son up from volleyball last night at halftime so missed the discussion of the sub. Was pretty surprised to see Okello off the field when I came back. Was there any discussion or explanation from the commentators? It seemed like he was quite effective out there.

Shway 4,001 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I’ve been banging the Okello drum, so I’m not surprised by his performance last night. I hope everyone sees why you can’t compare him to Fraser. Which is why I say he was missed with the Olympic team. LeoH037 and toontownman 2 Link to post Share on other sites
