2019/20 Alex Iwobi

[samcdavies94]

If you could merge Iwobi & Sigurdsson then you'd have a top 4 number 10, each has the attributes the other lacks. Instead we have two players who are just missing that extra something..

Hence why they're both at Everton I guess

 

[Daytripper]

Thought he did alright when he came on today

The back five should pick itself now and so should Iwobi in the 10 role. Work out the rest from there.

Hes a really big bloke...strong, quick and good technically...

I feel that after a season he'll just 'click' and we'll have a super player on our hands.

I think this was what the Arsenal fans were always saying at the start of every season Zat, it didn't happen though, fingers crossed it does happen with us.

Stumbled across this whilst looking for something else. Ostensibly about video games and football but Iwobi is interviewed for it discussing how he used to use FIFA to check out opposition players. Worryingly also used to try and mimic Aiden McGeady so...

He also had a soft spot for Aiden McGeady, an altogether less remarkable Irish winger. “He had one turn that I would go out into the garden and practice,” Iwobi said.

Games like FIFA that were designed to reflect the sport’s reality have helped alter it, influencing professional players and front offices.

Looked good when he came on yesterday. Think we need to just give him the position in the centre of the pitch and let him develop there. Pointless putting him on the wings because he’s awful there.

I’m not a fan, okay in spells, shirks the hard work, doesn’t win a lot of tackles, shirks 50/50’s completely, that pass he gave away to provide Spurs’ winner, if I remember rightly, Davies had the ball and instead of running into a wide open space down the wing ( which was there) Iwobi stood were he was, then receiving the ball he went backwards towards his own goal before making the misplaced pass. He doesn’t go looking for the ball, better in the middle, if anywhere, but to be the playmaker you’ve got work hard and be prepared to fight and win the ball as well, not sure he can do the job successfully. I think we could have done a lot better for the money spent.James Maddison went for a lot less last year, worth three or four times the price now. To be honest Everton were interested in him, but he preferred to go to Leicester because it was nearer to where his parents lived, I believe.

We missed a trick with Maddison.iwobi seems to do everything and the final ball is terrible.

He's clearly seen as Iceland's replacement from next season onwards.

No MeinFrandel, I just find the idea that Alex Iwobi will be playing number 10 quite the laughable suggestion.

You cant build a team around somebody who is very wasteful with the football.

If we have any sense we will be playing 433 next season.

You’ve changed, I think you’ve spent too long on GOT talking to Dave.
