2019/20 Alex Iwobi

Faded a bit second half but we've clearly got a player here. For a dude that 'doesn't score' 2 in 2 in his first starts is sound really.
 
Iwobi obviously tired out around 50 mins, but I have to say, he’s quite daunting for defenses when he’s on the move early on. Loved his presence in the attack.
 

Played good until he tired and is looking like he is going to be a a cracker once he is fully match fit. 2 goals in 2 games when not fully fit will definitely do for me.
 
Clearly has barely got an hour in his legs yet. We asked about 10 minutes too much of him today I thought.

He looks good though. He's taken that spot off Bernard without breaking sweat, for now at least. Has all the industry of the Brazilian with apparently far more goal threat and physical presence. The goalscoring in particular bodes very well and helped win us that game today.

The Bolasie comparisons are ridiculous, by the way. Iwobi has far more to his game. That should be obvious at this point. Played several good balls through the lines to Kean/Digne today. Really pleasing.
 

The problem is he did the Bolasie special of running down blind alleys and giving the ball away.

The first 10 he looked fantastic, the next 60 he looked dire.

There's no point not saying as it is. I'm willing to accept its a fitness issue for now.
Oh behave Tubes ffs lol
 
Playing well, doesn’t work as hard as Bernard, might be fitness.

Looked like he bottled a few challenges too, not sold on him yet.
 
Good first half, then not so good. But he looked very tired.

He's getting into goalscoring positions.

Was the same midweek. Poor 1st half, better 2nd. Today he looked lively at the start, scored and then did nothing all game.

Certainly offering more from out wide than Bernard does, in any case. So gets the nod from me.
