2021/22 Alex Iwobi

[arbok]

I want to see a banner at the next game - I'm sorry Alex Iwobi. All is forgiven.

Loved his composure to calmly slot that like it was training.

Impressed that Frank is getting a tune out of him. When your resources are limited you need to extract what you can from what you have.

Looking at the finish by Alex Iwobi, I'm definitely thinking that a 'brown envelope' was handed to the Newcastle Utd keeper before the game. The guy should have easily saved that shot but appeared to pull his hand back. Top marks to Iwobi for getting into that position and getting the shot off.

And inside the brown envelope was a dirty pizza delivered by six guys to a hotel room to Dubravka.

From Lampards interview, I get the feeling Iwobi lacks a little self belief and self confidence probably why he's good in training and a nervous wreck match days, hopefully Lampard can nurture the player we keep hearing about in training.

One thing about Alex iwobi is that he adds another box to box midfielder and loads of energy. It's whats needed to get out of the relegation battle.

MOTM

By a mile.

He was the one tracking back on ASM. He was the one sprinting beyond DCL in the 100th minute to score the winner. If you work that hard you sometimes get what you deserve, and he did.

I think Seamus deserves a big mention for taking the ball off ASM and passing it to ATG

 

[Gilbert..]

Done virtually nothing in his time here
If he does nothing else in his time here i cant forgive it.
But if we stay up that goal will be one of the most important goals for Everton.
Big big goal.

Is it time for confession?

I confess that I have always liked him, even though I feel he's not lived up to my expectations, much like his Arsenal days really. But he always had something in his, erm, arsenal, like last night, that made me like him even then.

I’m so made up for him. I’ve given him so much grief like us all. But he’s saved us big time here

“like us all”? No chance fancy pants. Not in your world.

Why try and take the shine off a glorious moment?

Hear, hear!

All joking apart, it seems quite obvious that he needs to be loved by the fans.

deserved it with the amount of pressing and getting up and down. 3 points is kinda big when we're only going to get 30-40pts this season.

I think this is right... but I don't think why his relationship with the crowd has evolved is a particular mystery.

Literally all we ask for is graft and we'll back any player.

Iwobi has been putting in some serious shifts since Lampard came in, which the crowd has responded to, which in turn has clearly lifted him.

I wonder if it's related to the high pressing we've started since Lampard? It gives him an opportunity to graft, and be seen to graft, whereas previously as a team we were much more passive out of possession.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

For that alone I think he's earned a starting place ahead of Gray, for now at least.
