2022/23 Alex Iwobi

[Amokachi1995]

Absolutely woeful for the 2nd game on the spin. Bottled out of every 60/40 ball in his favour and 2nd to everything.

He was sadly. Needs to be more aggressive in everything. Hopefully he sorts it out quickly.

 

[atypicalusername]

Not best game for him but was surprised he was the midfielder we took off out of the three

 

[girders]

Luxury player ,not consistent enough..not even sure what his best position is

 

[EGWToffee]

First half the midfield was overrun because of him. Pressing air

 

[blulouie]

Purple Patch is over.

 

[davek]

He was 'kin dreadful.

Like he was in a daydream all game.

Ambling about barely waving a foot about when a tackle was required and passing to the opposition all game.

Lampard should have had him off the field at HT and got Garner on.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

What happens when you dont rotate your players. Lads ran his nut sack off all season and been away during the international break.

Would give Garner a run oot against Palace.

 

[MACCA75]

Should have stayed on but very predictably his effort has dropped 10% and he’s back to looking crap.

 

[Cels]

I'm confident that this slight drop in Alex Iwobi's good form will soon pass. Not that concerned at the moment, to be honest.

 

[Drico]

Has he signed that contract extension yet?

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Said weeks ago midfield balance isn’t right. Too flat, either he or Onana needs to get further forward, closer to the centre forward and take some responsibility in the final third.

The reality is he’s a bit of a nothing centre midfielder and folk on here have gone way over the top. Out of possession he looks like a player who played most of his career as a forward, follows the ball too often doesn’t have defensive aggression of Obama or Gana. Going forward doesn’t have the James, Siggi quality pass or goal scoring threat. Runs a lot, has some nice feet, bet he looks good in training.

 

[roy vernon]

Missing in action tonight.

 

[Carlito]

I think Gana coming in has nullified Iwobi.

Most of the plaudits he was getting were for putting himself about in front of the defence, and then driving the ball forward from deep. He's too easy to pick up and contain when pushed further forward.

 

[Mathieubleucoyb]

Not good enough. He’s not a playmaker and doesn’t lead the line and it’s hurting our attack big time.
We need kudus or Rodriguez back.
Lampard will be sacked if he keeps thinking iwobi can lead.

 

[blulouie]

Even I was amazed at his turn around from 2 & half years of being turd.
The hard part would be to sustain it , but looks like he is now reverting to type.

Terrible again last night , backed out of 2 challenge's very early on and this continued the rest of the game.

He's stopped taking players on & always looking for the safe ball , then misplaces the pass.
Despite what some say he is never a Centre mid , he doesn't have the vision or mindset to play that role.

Was right to be hauled off & will rightly lose his place unless be bucks up.

Our Best player ?

I'd sell him in a heartbeat.
