Hard to do when you are right back as well.......Lacks conviction, maybe confidence... Loads of space in front of him but didn't drive into the box

This is exactly right. Dom hit the keeper and Richarlison watched one roll through the area. No player is creating 8 big chances a game. He's done good today.Put in a couple of absolute peaches today. Sure the last 2 crosses were bloody awful right at the time when we needed him to stick it on someone's head. But on another day we should be talking about a couple of assists.
Hit and miss for sure, looked abysmal defensively but at least he's looked dangerous at the other end.

I wouldn't mind playing him as a RW with James central and Richarlison left once Coleman is back. Or as the third player in midfield with Allan and Doucoure. I think he's in our best team though in some way.
I think it has to do with who is behind him. Coleman doesn't play balls inside so the only way he can get it is by having it down the line and then he gets pinned in by the fullback. Coleman isn't great at supporting wingers with forward passing.Problem we have for whatever reason, as soon as we give him the RW spot he crawls back into his shell and looks absolutely crap again. Usually gets dragged off at half time.

No doubt Coleman is the best but that's one of the reasons it is time to work on a replacement.But Coleman is naturally the best right back we have and I don't think Iwobi is good enough to dictate who we should be selecting behind him.
I don't think it matters who we play next week, we'll get a good tonkijg against Chelsea

Personally his reasonable ability to defend at RWB makes me want to see him at the spot Gomes plays because I think he's at worst the same level of a player without the ball but I think his peak with the ball can be higher. He might not play the same long balls as Andre but his carrying and forward passing into James/Richarlison will more than make up for it.

We could try and get creative with it no doubt. I just don't want to see us play 3 at the back anymore. We don't understand how to position when set up that way. And Holgate for me isn't a true RB so that is problematic too. Hopefully Carlo can find the answers as he hasn't lately.He played well today Iwobi. Seems mjuch happier on the right. He will be a bit disappointed with the last couple of crosses, but he's been a really good outlet for us down the right.
I wonder if we give him a try one further forward, with maybe Holgate behidn him, and James getting a move inside.

I actually think Iwobi could be fine as a fullback if we had a true defensive midfielder. But as Allan has a tendency to rush out of position we can't really afford to have a shaky defender out there. Sort of how the RS do with Alexander-Arnold, who really doesn't defend, but have plenty of cover coming from the middle.We are going to be looking at a compromise whatever happens. When your first choice 4 fulbcks are injured you will always be in that position. We were more solid defensively today, it's a small improvement from a low bar but we will take what we can get currently. Of the last performances it was probably the best, and maybe the best performance post Liverpool.
Iwobi looks happier to me down the right. I'd keep him that side. The question will be, against better teams do we want him at full back or in a wide midfield position.
