2021/22 Alex Iwobi

[CielosGrises]

Wish people would give him a break and support him for the effort he puts in at least.

Yeah the fans were great again - with that we might just have a chance.

I doubt whether Alex, Frank or Cheryl's ex are cockneys so why not say Londoners or southerners? Regardless, this 'cockney' has been saying Iwobi should be playing at 10 for a while now. He's wasted as a winger.

Take your point, Iwobi is possibly playing better because he is happier with people from the same city as himself, regarding playing central rather than wide it obviously makes a difference to his game and he now looks like he is enjoying his football in that position and most fans are very happy with the way he is playing.

I insist though he should have put more into his game when he played wide there was no way he should have swerved the hard work and tackling because he was in that position, let’s hope he continues this fine form because he is making fans change their opinion with every performance.
If you don’t mind me asking why did a ‘cockney’ like yourself be some a Typhoo Toffee?

If he plays like this until the end of the season I hope we keep him. Now that’s turning four good games under Lampard into a run of 11 in a row so I’m doubtful but if he does, he’ll have completely changed my mind.

I’d say to be successful in the premier league you need at least six good quality central midfielders and this isn’t fifa or football manager so we can’t sell them all and start again.

Delph - was very good yesterday but is always injured and a waste of wages - needs releasing and replacing
Doucoure - his main pro is his physicality and engine and Iwobi has just showed he can do that and have more skill on the ball
Allan - is getting on but I’d keep him, think he’s vital as shown from the three games he was missing
Davies - has been injured all season, doesn’t have the physicality Iwobi has shown
Dele - different position no physicality, would keep because I want to see what he can do but not for CM

If we were lucky enough to buy three CMs, which would be a big deal considering we also need much better CBs and a striker I’d be choosing Allan, Iwobi and probably Doucoure as the ones to stick around in the squad

This is his 3rd season with us.

Even if he plays well till end of the season (which i doubt) its a flash in the pan.

£10mil and id sell...any more and it would be incredible.

Seriously? He’s what 25?

Effort he displays alone is worth keeping around the club.

The last few seasons lack effort echos around here. I’d rather have a club packed with effort than one with pretenders.

Yeah and in all of his time here has anyone given him a long run in the team in a central position? No because we Sigurdsson, James, Gomes whoever else all in front of him in the pecking order.

I was ready to flog him for 10m before Lampard came in but I’m seeing a player here now. Long long overdue but tbf if you put Allan on the wing I bet he’d be crap too!

Lets see...hes been dreadful for over 2.5 seasons.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He is not a winger as he has said himself. Looks quite good in the centre as an 8ish…

He played wide at Arsenal but so did Mesut Ozil at times and you'd never tell Ozil to stand wide and get crosses in.

Number of appearances? Consecutive run of matches ?

Hes not been anywhere near good enough to warrant a run of games.

In 3 seasons hes started 50 league games and subbed on for 25 league matches.

Hes probably had 5 good games over the 50.

If Lampard gets him going then great but im not going to forget the dross matches for a while.

He's just played three straight games of central midfield that were on the whole better than anything we've had since Gueye left. I think he's earned his place for now.

I agree. Problem us fans have sometimes is selective memory, someone has a good game and the last 10 get forgot about.

Suppose it's the lady or the tiger for Everton. Whatever happens this season we need a basis of players to start from, can't sell the lot of them at once. Just the case of whether iwobi can be a squad player or whether the three years means he is worth more asba transfer fee?

 

[Papa Shango]

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Wasn't he played in a number 10 a few times by Ancelotti and he did absolutely nothing? Happy the guy is back on it but he's not been stuck out on the right this whole time like a lost soil wishing he could just show his stuff in the middle.

He played for once for about 20 minutes and then someone got injured and he had to move back to the wing.

You should forget them. All that matters is the present.
