2020/21 Alex Iwobi

[TheBigIguana]

From the echo

But Everton's right hand side woes were compounded by Alex Iwobi's inability to pick out any of his team-mates in the box.

His crossing accuracy was 0%. Not one of his five crosses did as they were supposed to.

Iwobi's crossing accuracy this season sits at around 20%. Holgate's is at 23%.

The answer here is to stop playing him at RW where he has to cross just like for Holgate it is to stop playing him at RB. I don't get why it is so hard. Don't make him do the thing he is bad at!

Shouldn't that be don't ask him or hope he can do things he's incapable of ?

I guess?

What I'm saying is at this point it should be clear he can't cross. If all Carlo sees him as is a RW than he should have been the one they tried to loan out not Gordon (or even kept Walcott). If he thinks he can do other things it is beyond time to give him a try at those other things. But it's really weird that we keep sending him wide right to hold the width and getting mad when he isn't effective. It isn't his fault anymore because they're asking him to do something he can't do at this level.

If you are a good footballer, you can put a decent cross in.

Cos he's 24 and out of 224 professional games in his career he's played as a 10/Central Attacking Midfielder a number of 30 times across 2 different clubs.

86% of his playing career has been left or right wing.

Is Richarlison a good footballer?

If he were on the left he would not be crossing nearly as much

It’s almost as if he’s actually a winger!

When a player is as one footed as he is playing the left and right require a completely different set of skills

He's average at everything. It must be exhausting defending him in this thread.

Ive honestly lost track, where are we meant to be playing him now?

Stop playing him somewhere he has played for the VAST majority of his career? He's a number 10 based on what? The lad can't play football, you can forgive a defender not being able to cross a ball but a midfielder?

Tommy d whipped in a ball for the goal that iwobi could only dream of hitting in and he's hardly majestic is he.

Iwobi is absolutely dog turd

In fact, just looking in more detail.
150 games in the premiership:

66 games as a left winger.

Sadly, he's not going to oust Richy from there.
