I’m not a big hater of him, but looks a stone overweight and completely clueless if a defender just backs off and asks him to make a decision, dribble or pass. Somehow manages to do a weird hybrid pass/shot/dribble which results in us losing the ball. Simply should never ever play wide, and Garner miles ahead of him centrally.Sell sell sell.

I like the guy but yeah he's not looking good, it's time to sh-t or get off the pot, if he's not renewing he's got to get gone, can't have him mailing it in like guys in the last year of a contract sometimes do.Based on pre-season action, Id say Iwobi isnt up for it and we would not miss him this season or the next.
Good dink. But if we want to talk about why our team is so slow in the buildup and meandering he is a big part of the problem.
Also notice the movement from Dobbin. If we had wingers getting though on goal we would have more goals. He needs to start making those runs too. There is no diversity in his play. It’s cut back, cut back, pass to the middle and it’s snuffed out. Beat your man.
That's exactly it, he just does not have an ounce of composure. He's obviously really talented, and is by all accounts is great in training, his managers love him, but put him in a match and his brain just seems to lag behind what his feet are capable of.Iwobi has poor decision making. No question.
But for as gifted a footballer he is, I cannot understand why he is incapable of putting in a good cross.
For the quality of cross he consistently delivers, he would be better off closing his eyes and just smacking it wherever.
This particular deficit is not related to decision making, and he has the skill, that’s evident in his touch and dribbling. Put the ball in the box.
That’s it.
I watch my lad’s U8 youth league matches and without any exaggeration the lads are putting in better crosses than Alex Iwobi.
How?!? It defies logic. The bloke is making literal 10s of thousands of quid a week to play footy as a winger, and he can’t put on a cross as well as the U8s in my neighborhood.
Clearly this is doing my head in. Tell me I’m not the only one exasperated by this.
That is the problem which is why he needs to be replaced. He holds the ball up well and has the occasional flair in the middle, but Doucore provides much more in that position.He's not a winger, so he won't make those runs, he's also not even remotely fast enough to be troubling backlines with deep runs.
He's not anything but a poor footballer.He's not a winger, so he won't make those runs, he's also not even remotely fast enough to be troubling backlines with deep runs.
