2022/23 Alex Iwobi

[Baggzio]

Never ever been his biggest fan but fair play to him with how he’s played and his conduct in the last 6 months. Deserves the plaudits he’s getting and generally seems like a different person on and off the pitch. You can even see him sharing loads of things on Instagram and all that now whereas before he probably abstained because he knew he’d get abuse.

If he can continue on this path I can see him being at worst third choice CM, behind Onana and Gana meaning he’ll get loads of game time and chances to impress. It’s actually amazing that you could debate Lampard’s biggest achievement at the club so far is either keeping us up or else getting a tune out of Iwobi.

He's looked our best player in the last 2 matches - but he isn't strong enough or reliable enough to be a middle of midfield in a 2.
He's lightweight - but Frank clearly likes him and he has got decent distribution. If Allan / Doucoure (or Gana ideally) can play alongside him with Onana he could still play there. We do need to set up differently at home and be much more attack minded.

Frank going to a back 4??, if he did he would surely drop Coady not Holgate

Do you think we’ll be allowed to get away with playing with 12 players?

12 players , I like it

I wouldn't. Holgate is in for his supposed pace - but at home we should be dominant against most teams and should be on the front foot.
I'd have to exclude Dele - as were not allowed 12 players - apparently.

Iwobi was our best player yesterday by a country mile

Just read that... top guy is Wobes, really pleased he's turned things around on the pitch

 

[LocalNative]

Created most chance for us against Villa. Followed by, er, Mykolenko and Tarkowski…

This is a fantastic idea. I wonder why he has never done it before.

Are we on the TV? I hope not because those crafty buggers will likely snitch.

All other teams do. They are called 'referees'.

 

[Carlito]

He played him in central midfield. It isn't magic. It has been there since the day he signed.

Weren't you always saying that he should be playing centrally off the striker?

Its a total myth that hes this great attacking player.

Hes a world class wobbler in the middle of the park and his insta game is tight, but a rubbish footballer sadly.
