Two things Lampard deserves credit for - keeping us up and finding the role that got the best out of Iwobi.
Iwobi is simply put - a box to box defender. He is not a winger, an AM or DM.
He can't hold or orchestrate but he can damn well chase and hunt down.
He's the guy that the opposition attackers couldn't account for.
He'd just turn up from no where, tackle, disrupt or be in position to take the ball from the turnover. During that period there was no Garner. There was no one for him to link with having done his job.
Now that Danjuma is free from the 9 and Harrison soon to come in, there is no need for him to be out on the wing.
Whether Dyche can see his value or not is another thing.

A very good summary.

Sean Dyche will hopefully have a good selection challenge, very soon.

It would be a good move for everyone bar Sevilla.

A box to box defender eh?

He pulls out more than I do...

We have to have a replacement already signed or lined up. Otherwise it’s daft to sell.

what position are we thinking for iwobi. if it wide we currently have mcneil, danjuma, Harrison dobbin (a possible outgoing loan) and currently gray (most likely to be sold)

or is it a more central replacement? presuming dele is moved on.

Outside of a purple patch at the back end of the season that led into the new one I thought he quickly reverted to being subpar in centre mid too.

It wasn't surprising to me that moving doucoure back into midfield and moving him wide improved our form enough to stay up under dyche.

I'd be aggrieved to let him go without another attacking centre mid lined up though.
