2025/26 Tim Iroegbunam

[Rehnman]

Never a defensive midfielder looks better upfront,,,,

I don’t know how Moyes, or anyone, looks at him and sees a defensive midfielder, it’s baffling - talk about playing to someone’s weaknesses rather than their strengths.

 

[Dharma]

Wish he'd take them Deep Sea Divers Boots off.

 

[Roader]

His attempted defence for two of the goals was truly awful. He's had many chances to impress and failed every time. Should never be considered for a place again.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

When was a hero? Was it when he looked average/okay for 20 min when subbed on?

Just last weeks posts- have a read ffs

 

[ElGato]

At fault for two goals tonight. But that’s Moyes fault for leaving him rusty.

Onwards and upwards

BS

Good players are mentally and physically ready. They don't sulk while they are waiting in the wings and can come in sharp and ready to show what they are about

He wasn't arsed yesterday, wasn't up for it. Two goals are squarely on him

 

[Saint Domingo]

When he comes off the bench he looks good, when he starts he looks passive.

 

[MACCA75]

I was thinking he’ll be getting a run in the team, but that was SO bad, I can’t see it now.

I presume we’ll go with Alcaraz, which isn’t perfect, but he probably is our biggest goal threat.

Yeah, when he played for 20 min and wasn't utterly dreadful.

 

[hoppy]

Tim and James Garner both on four yellow cards one more booking and bans got to be careful both players

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Tim Iroegbunam is a gem and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't know how to watch football. He's a strong squad player and he's young, but he's better than many rotational players his age. We're lucky to have him and definitely got the better end of the virtual swap for Dobbin.

lol

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

He can save us a fortune if he keeps playing like that. Very strong and athletic and good ability to beat his man and drive forward. Positional play and discipline can improve and he can be a bit more decisive in his passing at times. He can definitely be a starter for us this season. People have written him off way to quickly because of some poor performances when he was returning from injury and the team had a disfunctional shape.

lol

I hope we are sitting down with him today and agree to pay off the rest of his contract.

I wish him well but he has to go.

 

[DrEFC]

I don't think he needs completely binning off, but he's never a DM. That was one of the worse attempts at the role I've seen since Holgate though.

 

[Lanolin]

When he comes off the bench he looks good, when he starts he looks passive.

I think it's more to do with how the game is going and what he's asked to do. He started against Fulham and was fine because we were on the front foot all game, Fulham retreated into their shell and he could just run around doing whatever he wanted. His best performances as a sub have been similar, coming on against Palace for example where we were pushing to get back into the game and he's able to run round at full throttle and take risks. When he's playing against decent teams who are actually competing in the middle and looking to cause their own problems his lack of discipline and awareness becomes an issue. What gets praised as 'energy' and 'trying to make things happen' when it's going well very quickly becomes being out of position and giving the ball away when it's not.

It was particularly noticeable on Saturday. He is either physically slow, mentally slow to react or simply can't be bothered. Either way he should not be playing
