January Transfer Window 2023

I think he's done the very basic of what's expected of him which was to increase his work rate from the appalling two seasons following his transfer.

His productivity is still abysmal though, and to me that's just because he doesn't possess the quality for this level. No surprise, and no criticism of him - it is what it is, and he doesn't pick himself.
I don't think he was ever lazy. He always worked hard, just the quality wasn't there and he had zero confidence.

As for his productivity, here's some facts for you

- only 14 players in the league have created more chances than him in total
- only 3 players - De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes and Salah - have created more chances from open play than Iwobi
- only 2 players - De Bruyne and Saka - have assisted more goals than Iwobi

He is not the problem with this Everton team, though of course relying on Iwobi to be our sole creator isn't going to end well.

Other than scoring more goals - which he needs to do - I don't know what more we can expect of Iwobi at the moment. He's been doing a bit of everything in midfield all season.
 
@GoldenToffee I was a huge Iwobi detractor because I thought he was tosh and some of the stuff he does is definitely still tosh.

But he's played well this season IMO. We need to give him help. I don't think he'll ever be a goalscorer which is a shame but he's creating opportunities and getting assists. Those are just league statistics too. He's not been at his best in the last few matches but the entire team played poorly too. We need more and better around him, for sure.

Wanted him in that window we went and got King. Think he got a bad injury and not sure how he's recovered. Used to be rapid and could finish.

EDIT: I may be thinking of SIlas, from Stuttgart, who got the injury. And by 'wanted him' in regards to Lukebakio I meant that I wanted us to sign him, not that the club were after him! :)
