2020/21 Alex Iwobi

[Steve EFC]

He played well today, didn’t do much wrong and did a lot right, he also played well for Nigeria last week so his confidence is high, long may it continue.
He’s shown what he’s capable of and deserves to start again!

 

[maccavennie]

Earned the right to keep his place next week and that's what you want.

Well done Iwobi, great showing today.

 

[Gilbert..]

By an absolute country mile his best 45 mins in an Everton shirt. Possibly his only.
2nd half. Well they all disapeared.
Think the lot of them did the dirty on Allan and left it to him.

 

[street end]

Played well, still tried in the 2nd half to get forward when he could.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

In the wrong league if you need 30 yards of greenspace to be productive...

 

[Groucho]

Maybe RWB is his forte?

 

[Nymzee]

Great offensively today but all their attacks exploited him not being familiar with the role defensively. Got Leeds next and they'll make us pay for it.

Yeah I agree. They set up to play against your weaknesses and I’m not sure Iwobi would’ve gotten away with that against any other team

I could see it work however with Coleman in Godfrey's role. Coleman is much better defensively than offensively and he has the experience of knowing how to defend out wide too.

Except their 2 goals that both came from the right wing

They did but first half they should have had a couple from down that side. Goals came from the right because Lookman moved over there with RLC.

I don't think it was so much about position as it was him having space to work. I think if he played RW or LW but was able to find space like today he'd be fine.

Lookman wasn't playing on the right in the first half and RLC wasn't on the pitch

Absolutely think he looked like a player when he wasn't under pressure and had acres of space. Makes me wonder if it's confidence or a slow footballing brain with him.

Many times defensively was caught daydreaming. A better team would eat us alive if he defended like he did today
