2022/23 Alex Iwobi

[Papa Shango]

He has not got better.

Everybody else around him has got worse.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

I do wonder how some players can go from being superb to shocking so consistent or inconsistently…

I would suggest he was never superb just better than average for time

 

[Fansince1988]

So Iwobi has now downed tools, he was one of the bright ones, we are sinking very quick. But unbelievably our league position isn’t terrible yet, much like last year other teams are helping us. But that won’t last we need a fix quick.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Lampard must be concentrating elsewhere and his cockney confidence has worn off, that or he realises carrying the club solo is a recipe for retirement before 30 and sees his contract ticking... Wont fancy battling the bear-trap tacklets in the championship. bottles gone.

 

[TheBigIguana]

It isn't really a coincidence that his form once again drops off as he's asked to play closer and closer to the right touchline

Said this other day he was playing his best on left, no idea why Frank has moved him on the right

 

[jinkyali]

Let's face it.
He's a poor footballer who totally imbalances our team.

 

[AussieToffee11]

Gone backwards again. Disappointing relapse, or perhaps it was just a purple patch.

He was at his best when he was let off the leash and was pushing hard in the press. Either Frank has instructed him to pull back or he has given up. Nonetheless, a development that I was hoping wouldn't occur.

I'd be careful committing to a new deal with a new manager likely to come in. Wait it out until the end of the season. If he goes, so be it - plenty of his types out there...

 

[knowing your history]

He's got plenty of love over last six months but penalty aside I thought he played the whole match in a very half paced way. Taking endless time on the ball, losing pretty much every 50/50 etc.

Compared to previous editions at CAM he simply just dosen't score or assist anywhere near enough.

He’s not close enough to it for my liking.

 

[ZissouBlue]

Been way too invisible for a stretch here. I hope he can get that mojo back. We really, really, really need it.

 

[Pat Butcher]

Had a nice run and is better centrally but we shouldn't be offering him a new deal

Let him get his inevitable move to Palace

 

[Nyhus]

But unbelievably our league position isn’t terrible yet

Uhhh, it is terrible and has been so for a while

 

[GoldenToffee]

People just went way, way over the top at a truly awful player hitting a good spell of form for a few months. He was abysmal for two full years, then finally put in a bit of effort for half a season (at most). Now he's approaching those God awful 2019-2021 levels once again.

 

[BlueToff]

He was very bad today.
Sick of the stupid argument about where he plays.

Yes, he's better left side of midfield. But, he went over there a few times today and overhit simple passes and took sloppy touches. WHere you play on the pitch shouldn't mean you do simple things badly.

At least he kept working and won the pen. He's not the problem of course but his purple patch is over. Have to get it back if we want to stay up because he's the only remotely creative player we have.
