Me personally I just take a dislike to a player and ride them hard.
I thought he looked ok the first few games but as you say hes had a period out injured and hes struggling a little at the minute.
I just dont see where he fits into the side and at times he appears very wasteful with the football and my eyes tell me he loses possession a lot, but then so do most of our players in the final 3rd.
Sadly I think we have paid a LOT of money for a very average player and as somebody who has an agenda to push regarding Brands I do not say that lightly.
But hes very young and we have a wonderful manager, if Carlo cant get a tune out of him nobody can and I dont mean this season, with every signing I do like to give them plenty of time to bed and leave a mark and Iwobi hasnt really had that yet.
The reason I go hard on Iwobi mostly is my first sentence.
I was more talking about Pulisic at Chelsea. I thought that's what the other guy meant when he said Chelsea overestimated the Bundesliga.
Anyway on Iwobi, he's not playing so well, but he's also not playing poorly either imo. No one seems to care that he's really good in the middle third even when he's struggling in the final third. Which is odd, because with guys like Gomes and Bernard who have fit that description at times it is never a problem. The giving the ball away thing isn't supported by the numbers, which I know everyone hates, but whatever it isn't true.
I actually appreciated that he got a couple of shots away last game even if the first one probably was the wrong choice. Too often we rely on Dom, Richarlison and set plays to be the goal scoring. We're going to need complimentary scoring and that requires other guys to shoot. Just needs to be at the right times.
He should play with Bernard. It's been a loooong time since they have, and I think that it worked well before.
