2022/23 Alex Iwobi

I fear we may lose him to Manchester City

Iwobi told him to play him centrally. He did for half a game, I thought IwobI looked better there, but it was not tried again. Iwobi received abuse for questioning Carlo. But it now looks like Carlo was failing to make the most of Iwobi!

YMMV but I thought he showed nothing of interest in that central cameo for Carlo as a #10.

Iwobinho was often talked about/up by the back room staff as being one of th best players in training, we all scoffed at that. He has been terrific since FL came in, like a new signing. Now he is showing in games what he apparently showed in training.

Strong words to say Carlo Ancelotti was an ‘awful’ manager of Everton

Well he finished 10th and 12th so that's certainly not good

He was really good, it was the Burnley game where McNeil did his one useful game ever and Carlo abandoned it because of a screamer. As I said wrong manager for us.

I mean, some nonsense here. We were 2-0 down and Iwobi hadn’t really done anything. And Carlo was basically a genius for getting this absolutely diabolical squad into the top half of the table. He’s an incredible coach.

However, Iwobi is generally much better in the middle, and you always called that.

The rot started under Carlo. He gets off easy because the utter mess after him accelerated it like he was running a nuclear test in Chernobyl in 1986.

And I disagree, which I think I said at the time, Iwobi did everything you want a midfielder to do and couldn't also defend for our backline. It was a mistake to not persist with it. I think Carlo being unwilling to see positives in defeat was one of his issues here because there were always going to be defeats. He didn't seem ready to handle that, at least in my opinion.

Carlo was working with very mediocre players with the exception of James, Richarlison and Digne. He squeezed every drop out of them tbh.

 

[ilikecheese]

His work rate is incredible and he's a half decent player. What's not to like?

I just don't agree. And he clearly had some amount of sway on the transfer policy which was bad.

He doesn’t score or assist.

He’s been sound in CM, mainly because he was utter crap out wide. He’s the best of a severely average bunch of midfielders.

Iwobi being the shining light now, shows how crap that team is! If you have to rely on Iwobi you are in big trouble.

But he was, just because he did top work for other clubs that dosent mean he ws good for us, just look at his final table placings, a terrible Everton manager, as i said yesterday on another thread, the only thing he ever did for us was beat Liverpool in a final with another team

He beat Liverpool with us too to be fair...
