2019/20 Alex Iwobi

[evertonarntwe]

he's so weird, he does the hard things so well but I've never in my lifetime seen a player lose the ball as much as he does

don't think he's crap or anything but he gives it away a ridiculous amount

 

[okellypj]

Was quite wasteful yesterday. Imagine most disagree but I would have brought Siggy on for him at 60mins or so

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Think he’d thrive in a midfield 3 with Davies and a defensive player like Gbamin. He’s creative enough and works hard enough. Never a winger though is he, let’s be honest.

 

[roy vernon]

I quite like him as it goes, not out wide though. For me, give young Gordon a chance out wide and continue with Iwobi as a 10.

Yeah his close control (or lack of) makes me wince sometimes, it all looks so loose. Delph similar, if they do keep the ball they are usually inches away from having it pinched off 'em before they move it on.

I´ll be honest and say having Iwobi as our long term number 10 doesn´t fill me with optimism. He´s not a great goal scorer, he´s not brilliant at ball retention and he´s not the type of player who goes and dominates a game. It´s not even a position he´s excelled in throughout his career.

For me he´s a decent addition to the squad in general and should be used in rotation like he was at Arsenal. Is that really good enough given the money we spent though?

This..

It feels like one of our man united cast off signings that blighted us for years..

It's just arsenal this time instead

 

[Winslow89]

He was poor on sunday and that left side was figured out by spurs early on - so no Digne link up. He’s awkward in possession and I don’t even find him particularly pacey. I’d of kept him Theo on yesterday and taken this guy off.

 

[BernieH]

He's got quality, just needs consistency, let's face it we have these lads because consistency means they can't play for the elites, so we are inconsistent, and it's bloody frustrating year after year after year.

 

[Lanolin]

He didn't play centrally at Arsenal though.

Which surely supports his argument rather than challenging it?

 

[mikel_88]

Prefer him central as his pace and movement helps the cf more, will have these games with iwobi will frustrate but i have been happy so far with him

 

[Mark Pembridge]

needs to play in the centre or not all.....hes awful on the left

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

He's better centrally; supports mine.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I don’t understand why Silva moved him back out wide against Tottenham to begin with. It’s obvious he is at his best centrally
