2019/20 Alex Iwobi

[Archie Knox]

Hopefully he's homesick and desperate to return to London. Get him sold to Palace for 7m as soon as Zaha leaves them.

This fella.

Cant run with the ball, cant pass a ball and cant tackle.

Apart from that he looks a cracking signing.

 

[Blue Juice]

I really like Iwobi but nights like tonight show that he really was a panic buy

I said to me mate at Old Trafford hes the new boo boy for fans

I think a small reason for that is down to the fact that he's absolutely dog dirt.

He is just pointless out wide. This formation doesn’t really have a spot for him

 

[everton1953]

One of our worst signings for several years. Of course he must have shown some talent sometime in the past and maybe it will return. Having said that it never did return for Walcott who is similarly awful.

Is there a player in the league who you can think of as similar to Iwobi? Which team could he get into and which player would lose their place to him? Can't really think of any.

 

[Lanolin]

That was absolutely shocking tonight, no redeeming features. What a terrible piece of business this looks so far.

 

[fernandes]

Worst buy of the summer from any club, the lad is awful

 

[evertonarntwe]

Said in another thread I quite like him

But i dunno why because all he does is just give the ball away time and time again

 

[ButOkayThatsFootball]

Utterly enigmatic - offers little-to-nothing out wide and we'd have to build a team around him (in a free role at #10) to get the best out of him, but obviously not going to do that - at least Walcott wide gives us a strong shape out of possession and allows Sidibe license to bomb on.

When he's played in his preferred position, however, he's shown glimpses of brilliance and class (when it comes to driving with the ball and weight of final pass), but I can see him struggling to ever add a real level of consistency to his game because he doesn't appear to have the basics down..

 

[edge]

ran around a lot, did f all else right, not since Barkley have i seen anybody in a blue shirt so flimsy in the tackle for a big stocky fella like a five year old girl.

 

[marsh]

I think a small reason for that is down to the fact that he's absolutely dog dirt.

And everyone else is superb

People gave him loads of stick tonight. That's not going to help things...
