2020/21 Alex Iwobi

[Saint Domingo]

He brings balance to the team and Cana crisply keep possession. Bernard was terrible in his place.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Missed him today. Would have provided penetration which was sorely lacking

 

[kenada_blue]

Was only last week when he couldn't pass to a blue shirt.

Now he was missed.

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Anyone know why he wasn't even in the squad?

 

[Mozza1987]

Was missed tonight. Never thought I would say that but he has been playing great recently.

 

[jerseytoffee]

Anyone know why he wasn't even in the squad?

read he had a knock in training and wasn't being risked, so sounds like he'll be back for the next one

 

[Wat Tyler]

Yes he is better option than Bernard, but the fact is he isn’t enough of a goal threat. We are too reliant on DCL for goals.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Imagine a couple of months ago you'd be coming into the Iwobi thread people we're dismayed at him not being in the team....funny old game

 

[marsh]

Mad how bad our squad is that we missed Iwobi and his directness today

 

[blueblue]

Iwobi does have pace and runs at defenders ,two things that we didn't see today.

He gives balance to the team and was missed this evening.

We must be the most pedestrian team in the Premiership.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Come back Nigerian prince....Save us.

 

[blueconverse]

A player who can dribble past a man. The only one at the club.

 

[MikeH72]

A player who can dribble past a man. The only one at the club.

Actually this.

 

[TheBigIguana]

A player who can dribble past a man. The only one at the club.

What we need is players who understand that and play off it. He shouldn't have to dribble multiple people for anything to properly open up. I mean watch Grealish at Villa and how when he beats a man options exist. That doesn't happen with us.

We missed him he adds power and width
