2019/20 Alex Iwobi

[windymiller]

As soon as he came in off the wing he looked much better. Second half he played well. He's never a winger though, too slow and hangs on to the ball too long. Can he play in the centre in our system is the question? Gomes and Davies were poor today, so I'd certainly give it a go for a couple of the dead rubbers we've got coming up.

Yeah, the change of shape really helped him.

As with Sunday, Coleman was tucking in as a 3rd centre half effectively in attack and defence leaving iwobi with no option to play anything other than a kinda of right wing back role.

When we changed to a more traditional shape with both full backs providing width and support in attack this allowed iwobi to drift inside and pick up the pockets of space, which Norwich left all over the left side. Which led to him having a fine performance in the 2nd half.

Played well second half, but if right wing is gonna be his position in this system we need a right back bombing on past him.

 

[Trout Masked Replica]

Doesn't help that we don't keep possession as a team, so we can't beat him with that stick too much, but if he could simplify things, focus on keeping possession and showing when it's on... no idea what I'm talking about really

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Still dont rate him - done better the 2nd half but still looked okay to average against the worst side in the division.

 

[jazzy]

Let's not get too carried away .... he was ok.

 

[verreauxi]

Decent effort. Not up to par.

 

[tim cahill]

Decent effort. Not up to par.

He was one of our better players today. Needs to improve his crossing but it was promising.

 

[Lloydystark]

2 awful final balls in the first half (low weak and straight at there CB)
2nd half was the best I’ve seen him play, best player on the pitch 2nd half ( this comes from a big iwobi critic) glad he’s proved me wrong

Coleman did that on a few occasions (ok not as many as a younger Coleman would of but he did)

 

[neilsyd]

He was one of our better players second half. Thought he did ok. He's pacy and can get the ball out of his feet. He's not a right mid though but there's something there

 

[PhoenixIreland]

Thought he was excellent today, especially in the second half. My man of the match.

 

[malcson]

He was one of our better players today. Needs to improve his crossing but it was promising.

TBF he put a good cross in that DCL should have done better with

 

[Bullens Rd]

I'm not sure who that deadlocked fella was in the number 10 position second half but if he could play every week he's be pretty useful for us. Awful first half, very good second!

 

[mkrudden]

Yeah he was excellent today. Needs to put a run together.
