2020/21 Alex Iwobi

[Goat]

five? Optimism at its finest. I’m struggling to get to three.

Digne, DCL, Rico are the only players I'm 100% certain of.

Keane is at 99%, nobody else comes even close.

Of course Hamez, but he loses points for injuries.

This is quite possibly the funniest 2 sentences I've read in my whole life.

Hats off, it takes a lot to beat everything that's ever come before it.

Yeah I know, you don't like stats, which is how you end up thinking Doucoure gets us up the pitch or that Allan is better than Idrissa Gueye. It's fine.

Yeah that's my list although I wasn't factoring in injuries so James is 100% and Richarlison is more questionable because I don't think he's ever going to be anything more than he is now on the flanks and we don't seem to want to move him more central. He's very flawed out wide but the goal production is clearly valuable.

Suggest you read above.

I like a lot of our players, but I see their faults, Doucs is not a 10/10 player, Allan is probably about the same as Gana was, but they are slightly different players, Gana was vastly better defensively and Allan is vastly better offensively.

Godfrey is a decent player.

But I don't defend the indefensible, its been a while since I've "backed" Gomes, for example.

It’s tragic seeing @TheBigIguana stubbornly defend Iwobi, it really is

I will not bend on this matter.

Allan is utter crap on the ball. Doucoure has gigantic chasms in his game. If there was a way I could see to use them differently to make them better I'd be in their threads saying it. I don't see it.

I genuinely thought he was good in the middle Saturday. I mean the argument seems to be we got beat while he was there like he was supposed to make the whole team play well. I don't know.

You dont fix what cant be fixed.

You just accept the players for what they bring, don't worry about what they don't, we all did it for years with Gana.

Ive said for a while, 90% of our players can and could be improved on, quite easily.

DCL and Godfrey for me. I wouldn’t be too bothered to see Digne or Richarlison go, Digne is a good crosser but not a lot more, and Richarlison disappoints more often than not and he doesn’t ever seem to improve. He can’t beat a man, and lacks I reckon if you could get good money you could get someone in who offers more.

i’d happily see the rest of them gone.

Digne would be wonderful for us if we had a functioning system. He comes off as crossing and nothing else because nothing links together.

Wont have a bad word said about Lovely Luca!

he’s not a footballer, and he’s a million miles off this level.

possibly, although i think we defend a lot better when Godfrey is left back instead. And really foe me thats the left backs job to defend, i’d rather the creativity was in the wide forward.

That's now how most of the best teams play football anymore. And we were an utter zero in attack playing like that. Grinding out results isn't a long term strategy for me.
