2022/23 Alex Iwobi

[Bluesaint]

I really am sick and tired of seeing Iwobi flying towards the opposition player who has the ball and looking like he is going to wipe him out...and then just stopping about 3 strides before he reaches the player and then making no kind of tackle at all. He has some ability, but, I don't believe he has any bottle. He has quick feet and can move quite quickly with the ball, he has reasonably good stamina levels, but he has no awareness of what is going on around him and absolutely no goal threat.

He had his purple patch earlier in the season, but, it seems it was a flash in the pan and I don't buy into this, he can't play out wide rubbish. His big problem is his lack of bravery and you just can't coach that into a player.

Did you see it when he took a heavy first touch and the ball went towards the Arsenal midfield mid way into the second half? He had the speed to get there easily if he tried, he would have just got there a second before the Arsenal guy, but he put on the brakes and tried to slide in, knowing that it would look good on TV. I'm sick to death of his lack of courage, he seems mortally terrified of going into a 50/50 or even a 60/40 in his favour. Another player taking us down.

This is what bugs me. He doesnt actually do anything when people say he works hard. He doesnt win 50/50 balls. He switches off. He often gives the ball away that leads to opposition attacks(not the only one mind)
But people say he works hard. Its little shuttling running style that makes him look busy, but contributing nothing in reality.
I cant wait for him to leave the club.

The amount of times he actually bottles out of 50/50 balls is cowardly.

Just read that he might be off to Turkey???

Would do well there, that’s the sort of level he’s at.

Just shows up as a short story in a footy score app I use. TeamTalk the source it says. Probably IndyKailas ma runs the site

 

[Goat]

No point having him on the pitch

This.

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Mad how he went from one of the worst signings we’ve ever made to being MOTM most weeks for a few months and now he’s back to utter tripe.

Click the Everton Live Scores link at the top of the page and it’s there.

Get shut, sell him to Turkey.

 

[LucBesson]

When the Turkey links come, you know it's game over and time to sell. Where footy players go to die (via a fun ovation of 50,000 mad bastards welcoming you to the country)

 

[YMJ]

Perhaps he just isn’t a winger.

 

[Streetender1878]

Put him up front

Not a winger - better in central midfield where he was MOTM most games .......so why throw him back on the wing Mr Dyche?
