Noble Okello

[baulderdash77 2,424]

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.

He is playing CB in Serie A in 2023 on my FM save just saying haha.

He also has looked great attacking in the U20s so I'm reluctant with the he's big therefore he should be CB argument.

Watching him right now you guys are insane if you think he can be a cb. He’s got too much skill

RIP the Noble Okello to CB discussion, circa 2020 - April 7, 2021

Bit of a gut punch not having him with the U23s... what a baller

[toontownman 3,369]

Shame he got taken off. Hopefully not injured. Deserved more time.

He was balling out honestly. Him having those long legs help close down so much space and is very skilful for a 6’5 

[CanadaFan123 2,315]

Taken off? Odd decision.

[El Hombre 2,363]

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.

Armas with some weird subs

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.

I just watched those clips and he’s huge and those feet are crazy why hasn’t he played ???? I’m excited for our future midfield

[jordan 3,570]

He will keep playing, this type of education isn’t easy

[SoccMan 728]

Did well he will get playing time if he keeps playing like that .

He will be thrilled with the result today, they were very lucky not to concede but the play the kids movement is underway and they looked good today.

So you all now know why I co-signed the thread about eventually overtaking Mexico?  

[archer21 647]

Canadian Pogba? Does seem a waste of his skill set to be at CB to me.

[dyslexic nam 11,043]

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 3,730]

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.
