2021/22 Alex Iwobi

[TheBigIguana]

I completely agree. This why is I still hold hope (most probably, foolishly)

He's honestly been pretty much fine this year. He's only started three games and I don't think he's been terrible in any save for the first 15 to 20 minutes today and he made a pretty important contribution off the bench against Saints. It is almost a guarantee he's starting Saturday and he'll probably do ok again but the price and the sentiment around him is what it is and unless he's near perfect we get the reactions we get.

 

[Azzurri]

People criticising him for not taking a penalty - he’d have missed anyway.

 

[little elfin]

His first 15 minutes was so good and made me LOL lol

 

[Preki]

He never looks like scoring or assisting. Neat and tidy but we need more. Has no confidence and is scared to make decisions.

 

[messymascot]

He wanted a chance at number 10 now here it is. He'll start Saturday against Norwich and will have Gray out wide instead of Gordon and Allan and Doucoure behind for support. Apart from not having DCL and Richarlison he will be surrounded by stronger players so he will have no excuse. The opposition aren't exactly the best so he should be running the game.

 

[gonetomorrow]

£35m we paid for the guy. Hard to believe.

 

[Gilbert..]

This is why for the time being he's so important though. You can probably have a decent enough attacking side without him if everyone is healthy but lose one and we need him.

For the love of God will you pack this sh!t in.

Would rather give Gordon minutes.

It's not like Wobes contributes and also won't be showing anything new.

…wow, I presume you were on the pitch to confirm this. I actually wondered why he didn’t take one, thanks for confirming.

We can't confirm it, but I do suspect it.

One of our attacking players being so low down list.

It could be that he's so brain-dead he didn't realise it was penalties

 

[toffeeblue9]

Worst ever signing.

He doesn't even make the top (bottom?) 10, but I'll agree that he's been a poor signing

I was vaguely hopeful he might be turning it around based on some of the appearances he's had this season, but last night was largely awful and back to square one

Rather worrying that there are people involved at everton from scouts to directors of football who looked at his arsenal career and thought 'yeah he's worth it'

Reel off 10 worse signings?
Im genuinely intrigued.

Yeah you’d think that with penalties being a possibility Benitez would’ve had his list for the whole squad best to worst realistically and tbf the first load all scored.
I’d probably put Iwobi not taking a pen down to him being a poor striker of a football rather than his own bottle.
