2022/23 Alex Iwobi

[Paulie]

We really have been starved of good players haven't we.

For those of us who continue to slate Iwobi I ask this

Who else in our side can make that one pass, occasionally, for a goal?

The answer is no one. And since we occasionally need goals to score, he simply needs to be out there.

He created our goal this weekend.

 

[HKContractDave]

We probably don't score Saturday if he's not playing so is it really a luxury?

yep - unlucky not to score himself as well

I think he plays better for us when he’s in the middle, however on the right wing his defensive play has been excellent. I think one of the reasons Coleman has been solid recently is that Iwobi tracks back so well. He must cover a lot of ground over 90 minutes. That’s why Dyche is playing him there rather than Gray.

He's not a centre attacking midfielder though, his stats don't get anywhere near that of someone who should be in that role. He is far better on the wing doing some donkey work while at it and is better than any other option we currently possess.

Longterm he needs replacing as he doesn't do enough and like Sigurdsson creates a muddled team where he'll have a decent game now and again but effectively you aren't going to progress if he is the one you keep looking to.

It’s indicative of the problems in our squad, when lads are still arguing about the best position of a 32 mill pound footballer almost four years into his contract.

I'll be glad when the arguement is academic.

Iwobi tracks back so well ? He runs back thirty or forty yards and never puts a tackle in, yes he runs miles possibly more than any other player but there is no purpose to the runs, no tackle at the end of it, Colman was left on his own in that second half, then watch Iwobi at the other end running fifty yards after a Brentford player hits it back to his ‘keeper and no earthly chance of getting anywhere near it, pure bluff but it impresses many fans in the crowd, he shirks the real hard work, watch Colman, Gana,Doucoure, Tarkowski doing real graft and putting their bodies on the line, real team players who play for the team,

If you think nobody else can make a 15 yard sideways pass to a team mate In space you HIGH.

 

[MikeH72]

I don’t think he is very good at football.

Correct

If we did have guys capable of that, we'd have more goal scoring opportunities

Also, the guy you're describing is Doucoure from the weekend.

Iwobi created that goal with his pass to him, which no one else is capable of in this rancid unwatchable side of ours

I said this to someone on Twitter. Apparently I'm a Iwobi hater because I think it was a decent pass and no more.

It's not that no one else should be able to do it but no one else does do it.
