MU did double up on him quite a bit, no doubt giving him a lot of respect after the game at OT. Carrick does seem like a bit of a reactionary manager. He didn't really get involved too much but does always offer the threat. Nmecha is decent but doesn't offer the same threat that the pace of Okafor does.
I think Okafor will be fine. Think he is just one of those players who will have speels of quiet matches and then purple patches where he will be on fire for half a dozen games. Similar to the likes of Dan James. So over the full season his stats and contribution will be decent.
We better hope so as he seems one of those players Farke picks regardless.
I've never been a massive fan myself.
Scored some nice goals but flatters to deceive a lot.
Gives the impression of a threat rather than actually being a meaningful one 90% of the time.
And so lazy (which im surprised Farke puts up with as he seemingly binned others for it).
He's nowhere near good enough to be as lazy as he is.
But if Farke doesn't rate or trust Bohoya it's either Okafor , Nmecha or Aaronson I suppose.
Like I said many times; he was a last-minute 'appease the fans' purchase and I 100% believe he was given a 'if fit = must play' deal. I am still convinced of that. He has been average so far this season. We should expect much more from him. That £35m offer is looking hecking good now: maybe should have cashed in...
Noah Okafor has had sufficient time now at Leeds United to be fit, settled and firing on all cylinders. Yet here we are 7 games into the new season and the guy just looks a luxury player that is, at best, good for an hour or so on the pitch. He does not work particularly hard tracking back which makes Gudmundsson's performances all the more remarkable. On the bright side is that Okafor does have a knack from time to time of being in the right place at the right time and being able to find the back of the net - only he's not doing it often enough!
We need more from him and better than him but I'm afaid we are stuck with him as there isn't another alternative unless Daniel Farke bites the bullet and gives Bahoya a try. I honestly don't think we are going to be getting anything more out of him.
