Okon should be feeling right at home here as Köln playing a Popovic style. So bloody slow.

Okon overwhelmed as Hoffenheim moving 2 blokes for him to deal with and his zonal marking stance 1 on 1 leaves a lot of passing lanes. His passing so far has just been short simple balls and one or two hospital passes to a marked team mate.

Robertson has much more urgency in his play and the Irankunda goal came from urgency. Need more of that.
 
Conservative half from okon

Similar to Herrington both playing within themselves when stepping up. I hope they both get enough game time to grow in confidence

Seems a bit harsh on okon watching the replay

I watched it back. It was in his realm but he had to mark one guy then press the passer who laid it off for the scorer. Against Turkey our players used their big frames to block such shots. The Köln left back is utter garbage.

Yeah it was in that awkward spot where it's not clear whether the rb, cm or cb feel responsible for it

I remember Rogic often being ignored by team mates. Not exactly on purpose but to be a central midfielder not seeing the ball too much is something else. Okon didn't exactly seek it but that's alright to stay in position.

The best thing he did was sprint to follow through and scoop up an overweighted cross.

Slight issue is he's playing with Kraus who is an arrogant bastard claiming he's something better despite hardly ever delivering. Went to Schalke all big headed and was shit and then had two lowly loans at Luton and Bochum and Köln essentially saved his Bundesliga career.

Yeah he only received the ball when showing in front of the lines. When he was between the lines he was ignored

Same thing happened at first for the roos, his ability to shield the ball in traffic is a real assett but needs a chance to show it
 
Toure's goalscoring record for Norwich is truly remarkable. I've liked Toure for a while but I was never overly confident in his ability overseas and specifically his consistency, injuries and lack of game time.

I would've never expected this move to go this well for him, I recall a recent interview of his where he said that he even didn't expect this. See how long it continues.
 
Okon with a chance in transition just outside the box but it's over

Worst part of his game his finishing. Then again grellas finishing was even worse
