2020/21 Alex Iwobi

Comments like that just push the agenda that he is unprofessional.

What is he saying his best position ? Wide left? I had hopes he would push on this year and remember a lot of people saying we really missed him against West Ham - but after a few decent games he has regressed again.

We need to start buying attackers who can actually contribute to our attacking numbers - no more iwobi /bolasie/bernard’s please.
 
Bit of a bizarre post in general that really. It’s like something that would happen on football manager when one of your benchwarmers starts getting brave lol

I get his point about playing out of position, It would be Coleman playing there usually in tough away games. But to go on Instagram and pipe up like that isn't on really. As many members have posted in the past, Alex is one of those players who is much more happy to sit on Instagram than play football. He's not got the desire and he seems to have a bad attitude too. The lad has played 49 games for us and has 2 goals and 2 assists, what does he expect. Apart from a few cameos he's been utter gash.
 


This is the only game that Iwobi started in the #10 spot and played the whole time there. The next week we played an unchanged team but Bernard got hurt early and Gylfi came on shifting Iwobi wide. He's never gotten another chance.

I suggest everyone watch it but I'll summarize. It shows 6 attacks of ours in open play. Iwobi is important in 5 of them. A couple of times he transitions the play from defense to attack, the thing no one in our midfielders does currently, leading to decent openings. Once he plays a great final ball and another he plays Walcott into the box. He also gets on the end of a chance and misses it but hey, players miss chances.

It's a complete performance and when I say I think he has more than Gyfli it's because the number of games where Gylfi has done all of this is probably about 0 as he's not good at the progression side of midfield at all. Yes he more often pops up for assists and goals but when that's all you're doing you should do it better than someone who tries to offer more.

So that's my piece. If you all still think he should shut up and get on with it down the right than fine, but imo we're wasting him and as a team that has debatably 5 or 6 good players that's a shame.

Its doesnt really matter at this point does it?

The horse has bolted and he will be an ex Everton player very soon.

Aint not a single person, even yourself, who will be unhappy with that.

I mean there are 12 games left, nothing is final, but I don't see Carlo suddenly changing his mind.
 

Is he a great player? No
Is he a RW? No

Play him left/central or sell simple as. If we arnt going to utilise him for his strengths or sell him on and buy somone who can play RW
 

He's one of the major reasons I can't fully trust Brands. How could he possibly watch Iwobi play football then sanction a £30m move for him?

It boggles the mind.

FWIW I actually thought Iwobi looked decent at Arsenal and actually hoped we'd sign him before we got linked. I don't think anyone expected him to be this bad, he played 100 times for Arsenal and won some trophies.
