2019/20 Alex Iwobi

[DickRitchie214]

There is a reason Arsenal didn't play him or want him.

Arsenal didn't play or want Gnabry either, so maybe not the best bellwether

There is 100s of them examples.

well yeah, exactly. just because another team didn't or wouldn't use someone doesn't automatically mean the player is substandard, it just means there wasn't a fit, or opportunity. that's all I'm saying

 

[ToffeeTim]

I like him.

He certainly isn't a winger.

 

[DickRitchie214]

I like him.

He certainly isn't a winger.

For certain. He didn't play there for Arsenal, and he doesn't play there for Nigeria.

So we should make him a winger.

One of the most awkward, imbalanced players I’ve seen for some time. His ten-to-two feet remind of a clumsy kid playing two years above his age group at school just because he’s big....his gait is just so unconventional for a footballer. Struggling to find a reason to like or rate him at the minute

You just described bolasie

Yay one slightly below average showing and we are back to this comparison which has no basis at all

 

[Yorkie89]

i think he is settling in well personally and when at number ten he shows us exactly what he’s capable of. Keep iceman out of the team and we will start winning games

Alex Iwobi is nothing like Bolasie at all.

 

[Yorkie89]

Alex Iwobi is nothing like Bolasie at all.

He is 23 so will keep improving and we haven’t seen the best of him I’m sure. He will keep improving and once the front four are all firing he will be at the forefront of it all

 

[DickRitchie214]

I present to you the evidence.

Evidence A:
With Gylfi as the starter in the 10, Everton is 2-1-5 with 6 GF, 13 GA
With Iwobi as the starter in the 10, Everton is 1-0-1 with 4 GF, 3 GA

Evidence B:
I don't need evidence B

I know, I said he described bolasie

Think he adds energy, forward passes and good movement to the team. Has a poor first touch though. But always look to run forward with the ball into space or pass forward an early.

V West Ham when Siggardson came on you could see the difference. In a good position with space in front of him to drive forward but decides to pass it square to the wing, stalking any momentum and letting wham get back in shape.

Iwobi doesn’t have Siggardson s ability to shoot and score though!
