2020/21 Alex Iwobi

[billyblue80]

It’s going to be a key period for him now, he is likely to play three games in row and it’s up to him to show why he deserves to be here.

Bernard and Gordon will get minutes too I am guessing off the bench

Look I don't think people said it because of his skin color, I think people are more likely to see a black player as lazy because of the stereotypes in our culture. It seems the same, but it isn't.

His pressing is half arsed. Certainly compared to Richarlison. Couldn’t care less about skin colour.

I’m not sure about Bernard playing that position as I think Carlo wants pace out wide, especially with Hamez on the other side. I think he wants people running in behind.

 

[MacAttack1878]

I mean I haven't changed my opinion on that. They aren't similar at all apart from being black Italians.

And strikers.

 

[stamullenblue]

Agreed but that’s not setting the bar very high.

Just hope he keeps improving ...the more squad players we have that can put in a decent shift the better

Does Iwobi run in behind? I've seen it rarely

I agree with that too.

Same as I hope Bolasie and Tom Davies improve.

Problem is there not good enough and can’t see him improving to the level required.

We have to keep hoping and working with what we have .. point is we are so much better at the moment and i am just enjoying it with genuine belief Carlo can make some of the players step up ..

Well, the thread is about Alex Iwobi and my post is about never having seen him break into a sprint.

Your intellect cannot be that low to not understand what I'm talking about, surely.

I think you know what I meant. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything that happens in this thread anymore but I find the whole thing quite unsavory.

*checks posting history on Walcott, Iwobi's weight, Mina, eugenics, scratches chin*

Yeah it's a strange one for sure Butters.

You still stalking me pal? Go and quickly give rep to three more members so that you can call me a bellend with some more neg rep

That's your one reply from me for the year now, all the best.

Sad truth is Butters, you've been negged by quite a lot of people. Mainly because you are a dreadful eugenics-peddling goblin who for some reason is obsessed with Iwobi's weight.

This is a thread about Iwobi. Stop making it about each other.

For me he only plays because of his price tag.

Gordon and Bernard offer much more going forward and atleast Bernard will press / track back Iwobi just jogs about.

 

[MKS]

Useless again didn’t even touch the ball when he came on and constantly out of position when defending

How does Bernard offer more going forward than Iwobi?

Iwobi tracks back just fine.

Gordon looks boss but has played about 5 top flight games in his life.

Did the best bit of skill I have seen at Goodison for years... he obviously did touch the ball...

He is nowhere near as bad as some make out, I don't love him as a sub though, he seems to take 10 mins to get up to speed with the game.

You not watched the last few matches with James taking the piss?

Not good enough to start and can’t impact when he comes on as a sub.

Hopefully Carlo gives Gordon over Iwobi like he did after the restart although his disappearance from the squad says that’s unlikely

 

[Gilbert..]

Will drop down the table if he starts during richarlison ban.
Still cant get my head around what hes doing here.
