AdminForgotten just how useless Okoli was, both in and out of possession.
The defender’s latest performance has once again raised questions among supporters, with his display leaving plenty to be desired.
Okoli struggled to make a real impact defensively and looked equally uncomfortable when Leicester had the ball.
His problems in possession were particularly noticeable, as misplaced passes and poor decisions repeatedly put his side under unnecessary pressure.
When Leicester were forced to defend, he also struggled to provide the composure and authority expected from a player in his position.
For some supporters, the performance was a reminder of why Okoli had slipped down the pecking order.
There was little to suggest he had addressed the weaknesses that have previously caused concern, with his overall display falling well short of the standard required.
The criticism is likely to increase following another frustrating outing, particularly as Leicester look to build a stronger squad under Russell Martin.
The manager will demand greater reliability from his defenders, both when they are asked to win the ball and when they are responsible for starting attacks.
One supporter summed up the frustration bluntly: “Forgot how useless Okoli was in and out of possession”
With competition for places increasing, Okoli will need to produce a significant improvement if he is to convince Martin that he deserves a regular role in the team.
