That's probably fair. I think hes got good vision though.

And yes probably nowhere near a top 8 team, but we are not a top 8 team, so hes not my biggest problem.

I think he gives his all and so I do forgive him a fair bit.

Yeh absolutely. He seems a top bloke too by all accounts. Maybe I'm being harsh

I just don't think he's got a brilliant football brain or technique.
This is meant as a compliment but he's from the futsal style, street games isn't he.

Exceptionally quick and skillful but for me has large deficiencies which I think are the fundamentals of being a good footballer.

Id say he wouldn't get anywhere near a top 8 team tbh so for him to be seen as one of our better players is a shocking state of affairs.

Who provided the ball for the goal…..

I dont think so mate. You're entitled to your view as well.

I think he has limitations too. But I cant knock his work rate, and he has a bit of quality to go with it, which is a good combination for what we need now.

He also put some nice balls in behind for Simms to chase after. That could be quite a fruitful option moving forward.

So wasteful with the ball , his passes are either over hit or fizzed at our players making it difficult to control.
Takes the wrong option going forward most of the time.

Did a job helping Seamus out today , so gets a pass from me.

Would still sell ASAP .

Thanks mate.

I just felt in that last 15 minutes, get the ball to Iwobi, he would look after it and make the right decision. It's also interesting that when he gets in possession we often end up with a chance to score.

I've always felt good players look better when the game gets stretched. Hes one of them for me.

I'm surprised at the criticism, thought he was good today. I hope we csn get him signed down to a deal. We have put up with inconsistent performances, and it's good to be getting a pay off now.

I really hope your wrong about getting him signed down to a deal to stay with us, he does my head in, looking forward to getting shut of him.

Just a great example of a real Everton player.

He shits himself when he has the ball as a major fcuk up is just around the corner

Once again the Alex Iwobi thread provides the best example of the duality of Evertonians by far lol

His technique is pretty poor. He's a smart player though.

He's honestly not quick at all.

Also hope we get him "signed down to a deal"...

...but with another club in the summer.

He's a very hard watch.

Very difficult to see too many sides he gets in within our league.

Couldnt put a value on him.
