2021/22 Alex Iwobi

[CrabbyPaddy]

There was a point yesterday where the ball was a few yards away from him and we were about to break, and he deliberately slowed down to let the West Ham player intercept it.

The guy is an absolute coward.

 

[lancs blue]

Waste of space. Bad thing is no one in their right mind will buy him now

 

[mightymoyes]

I think most points made on here are fair comments to be fair
But what I would point out is that it’s no good getting on the lads back all the time.
I’ve seen him play well at times and reading reports he’s meant to be decent in training.
Constantly getting on his back is not going make him play better is it.

1. when?
2. completely irrelevant

hes been lucky so far, there has been no getting on his back at matches yet, but the boos are inevitably coming unless theres a dramatic change.
he should not be starting games (and only getting off the bench as last resort).

 

[gonetomorrow]

He runs about like a blue-ersed fly. It's extraordinary that a club of Everton's stature is starting guys like him and Rondon.

It goes without saying that he wouldn't get near the door of certain teams above us.

 

[bellis_efc]

Had one of those games yesterday. His utter lack of consistency in his performances kills him.

I disagree....he is very consistent. Consistently sh*t!

I've not slated him (other than to mates down the pub) and tried to give him the benefit of the doubt time and time again but he's just not good. I honestly don't know what his role is? He can't pass, shoot or take on players and I always thought he was quick.....he's not.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I know people like to say it tounge-in-cheek, but even still.. it's not correct to say that he's 'consistently sh*t' because that isn't accurate. He's offered shoots of hope a number of times (which managers obviously recognize even down to Ancelotti all of people) but the guy just seems incapable of putting in consistently positive and assured performances here, hence why 'inconsistent' is literally the best way to describe him..

 

[Terrarian]

He doesn't provide any sort of attacking threat whatsoever, minimal goals and assists can't beat a man with skill or pace. Very frustrating watching him play and I do believe it's a confidence issue with him, he has zero confidence in his own ability. technically a decent player but hasn't got match brains.

He'll be judged on goals and assists as he is part of the attacking set up and the stats in that regard are worse than damning, just out right shocking.

 

[brigadier]

He did his absolute best apart from the rare assist and even rarer goal that performance was a typical iwobi game runs around doing nothing, take what we can for him and move on.

 

[Gilbert..]

Thats a complete myth. I cant recall him ever doing anything over two consecutive games. He will do the odd something once in a game every 7 or 8 games(its virtualy impossible to never ever do anything) and because he has set the bar so low some are happy when he passes to a team mate. Its seen as a huge success that he found a blue shirt and we're celebrating it. Thats how pathetic alex iwobis time at Everton has become.
Pack it in with the he's shown signs. He's shown fck all in two years.

 

[Carloblues]

Haven't yet watched the highlights because it'll no doubt wind me up, but didn't he miss a massive sitter in the first half as well?

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

The consistent image in the pitch of Iwobi is him with his foot in midair, lunging after a ball that has somehow not remained within his control

Oh lord, you have no idea.
This is from the Guardian’s minute by minute:

28 min Aaaarrrrgghhh! Gray isolates Ogbonna out wide, shimmies inside then skips outside – that was far too easy – and sticks a cut-back for Iwobi, only for the ball to pass between his legs while he smashes fresh air into the top corner. It’s a great finish, in fairness.

 

[Toffeelover]

Oh lord, you have no idea.
This is from the Guardian’s minute by minute:

That from the Guardian is so depressing.

 

[Tubey]

Oh lord, you have no idea.
This is from the Guardian’s minute by minute:

That's the worst part of it for me - how perfect Gray's wing play was in creating that chance.

Imagine being him, doing his job flawlessly, putting it on a plate and realising the chance is falling to Alex f'in Iwobi.

Grim.

 

[jazzy]

Absolute joke of a player.

Why did Benitez drop Gordon who played well at OT for this buffoon?
