2019/20 Alex Iwobi

He has flaws, absolutely, but those flaws are very accentuated when he plays on the wing.

When he lays as a 10 his movement is brilliant, never stops running into spaces asking for the ball (unlike someone else I could mention). He also has an eye for a clever pass around the box.

He can't finish to save his life, doesn't have much of a trick to beat a man and gives the ball away a bit (although that last bit is mostly because he tends to try difficult stuff).

It's like watching two different players when he plays wide or in the middle
Don’t care what he did at Arsenal, while he’s been here he’s shown himself to be our most creative player by some distance when played through the middle
He does seem to make things happen in the final third, and I think he carries the ball well and has a physical presence about him, but I'm not convinced that he's capable of being in the game enough to succeed as a central playmaker.

I'd 100% give him the rest of the season to prove it, though.
