2021/22 Alex Iwobi

We have this awful habit at the club of getting behind really poor footballers who just happen to visibly run around and press. Happened loads of times over the last few years with Niasse and Naismith in particular and it's happening again here with Iwobi. The only difference is we were a decent side before and now we're incredibly poor so the effort sticks out. Fair play to the lad but he still needs to be replaced in the Summer and also it brings up the fact that this team is so poor that a lad running around is getting the plaudits, how can anyone else in this squad look at Iwobi, someone who they know more than any of us is not a good footballer, see the praise he's getting and then continue to put in their own awful performances every week.

Iwobi is a millionaire on stupid money who's never been the level of Everton football club, I don't think he particularly cares about us more so cares to secure his own financial future. Can other players not even have that perspective, where they at least put the effort in selfishly? In our entire squad if we went down I think probably only Richarlison, DCL, Pickford and maybe Allan based on his reputation could get anywhere close to the same money elsewhere that we are giving them, are the rest of these morons really that lazy and not arsed that they'd literally throw away the prospect of millions for the sake of putting in a bit of effort 90 minutes a week. It's honestly baffling to me.
 

I wasn’t really impressed as I was with his other performance, but I do think he needs to keep playing there as I think it will be his best position. We don’t have anyone to fill that role in the middle atm.
 

Even though they wobbled at times, I think we have to stick with the back 4 from the Leicester game, but sort out the midfielders in front of them.

On form, commitment and energy levels, there is a place for Alex in the team at this time.
Which amazes me after all these years of offering little or nothing to the team.

He is easily ahead of Gray and DCL in the pecking order.

We need a wall of 3 in front of the defence and Alex is wasted there.
Gotta be 3 from DVD, Delph, Doucs or Allen. Joe Royle dogs of war.
Which we have never been able to field so far.

You could play Alex and Gordon in front of them to make runs centre and wide and leave Richy to score one in three chances!

But we need to keep clean sheets and stop losing. Then hope we can steal a goal now and again.

I dunno. We need to try something a bit different.
Not a lot to lose at this stage and I think the current routine combos of 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 will see us relegated.
 
I think it is a depressing benchmark for how far we have fallen that Iwobi is being hailed as the player he always should have been simply because he has started making lung busting runs across the pitch? For the first half against Leicester on Seamus looked as though he gave a shiz, the rest of them were woeful. Iwobi and Delph and Alli are finished, the sooner we can volley them the better. Iwobi has played some decent through balls recently,and as others have said nobody else in the team is trying them. however, that doesn't mean we are getting value for money from him? A classic demonstration that in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king. Iwobi, is better at the than many around him, but he remains one-eyed nonetheless. I would genuinely swap Iwobi, Delph and Alli for someone like John Ebbrel right now, he would be seen as the next Roy Keane by some of our fans :( I am not even taking the Mickey out of our fans here, it is just we have sunken to these depths where these oxygen thieves are rated simply because those around them are developing rigor mortis!
