His career here is done.

 

Dunno the reason but 2 managers have not considered him first team.

 

Poor signing from LCFC point of view.

 

Feel for the lad also

supposedly homesick

Cooper started him in 8 out of his 12 games.

Still not learnt to successfully pass a ball to his teammate 10 yards away…

He was driving me mad but I've since looked at Fot Mob stats and he made the most successful passes 44, followed by Winks 40 and Ricardo 32

 

Our accurate passes were 81% compared to Millwall's 68%

 

In the final third Millwall was 84 passes @ 64% we were 61 passes @ 66% So fell apart in the final third where it matters the most.

 

Shown by own half Millwall 87 passes @ 79% we were 151 passes @ 91% so top quality in our own half passing back and forth to each other.

You always remember the howlers most, and Okoli like a really shite one every now and again. Would love to see his stats excluding passes to another defender and the goal keeper.

Looking at the last line of stats it would seem most of our accurate passing was in our own half so probably to another defender / goalkeeper

Millwall  man marked Vesty to force the ball to be played through Okoli and it worked, he played the most passes and he gave simple balls away.

Our defensive passing stats are flattering because we build up so slowly that the opposition let us

pap the ball around our back line while they get back into shape.

I think it shows we haven't got Maresca out of our system which doesn't work if you make all those passes and continually give the ball away. All it does is make our passing and possession stats good.

Yeah, with Maresca it was part of a broader plan, now it just feels aimless with the ball usually ending up 

with a double marked Abdul

Okoli is a strong defender. You don’t get called up for Italy without being a good defender. However, he falls short technically. Okoli lacks skill and basic passing skills. Alex Neil got it right today by allowing Okoli to have the ball as there’s little he can do with the ball at his feet to hurt opponents.

 

It’s imperative we start to give chances to Ben Nelson now. He has 18months left on his contract and now is the time to play him. He can be the future of the Club for the next 10yrs if LCFC play their cards right. Vestergaard and Faes aren’t the answer. 
 
I’d like to see Okoli and Nelson given a chance. Nelson needs backing and support, he’s a rolls Royce of a defender. Yes, Okoli is limited technically, his strength and no nonsense defending may be a good supporting actor to Ben Nelson.


Marti come on, give it a go…

"without having spent any time in Pep School of Boredom, is that walking around, playing 5 yard passes at a snail's pace, with no movement off the ball, will get you fck all. This tactic would get you fck all against Rotherham let alone clubs with the organisation and structure of a Sunderland..."

 

Quoted from shed end forum.

They are pretty bored with Enzo ball.

We Leicester need to move back  to football with intensity!

Why will playing Okoli alongside Nelson make any difference? Opposition managers will do exactly what Neil did today. Force the ball to Okoli because he can’t do anything with it.

Better to try and fail than to play "safe" and still lose.Give Nelson a 3 or 4 game run.

I don’t see anything in him.

 

if you can’t at least pass a ball 10 yards your no good. 
 

How did he get called up for Italy!?

 

Dreadful signing.
