2020/21 Alex Iwobi

[ForestBlue]

Yes but you are saying that you want a player whose role, skill and experience is to break down play to then turn into a more attacking midfielder. Kante was the prime example of what NOT to do to a player. Player of the season in a destructive role and then dropped half way through a season when trying to play a new more advanced role.

His son and Duncan? Yes.

An ex professional footballer turned qualified professional football coach and a qualified professional football coach who’s worked at Bayern Munich, Real Madrid & Napoli?

Or some American nerd who’s seen a video and a couple of stats on the internet?

In all honesty you know nothing in comparison.

Calling him a nerd is wrong.

Nerds study information and make decisions based on all factors, this fella sees what he wants to see and focuses on the wrong things.

Hes not a nerd, hes just wrong.

You asked if I thought Carlo could still be wrong even after consulting his coaches not if I thought I knew more than them.

And yes Goat, I am always wrong, aside from the times I'm not, but if you ignore those when have I ever been right?

Mate you called Holgate a below-average player before.

I mean.

I think the only real adjustment he's made with a player is using Godfrey at LB. Otherwise it has just been trying to find the right combo.

I think not. He tried three at the back. Digne as a winger. Iwobi at rwb/lwb. Bernard at ten. And on and on. You can criticise Carlo but not for not experimenting.

Bernard as a ten is an example of what I mean. Three at the back isn't really.

But yeah I'm maybe too harsh.

I mean... he is?

 

[Tubey]

I mean... he is?

He's get in many sides outside the top six. He's above average. Not great, but above average.

 

[roydo]

Lookman......

Iwobi.......

 

[Goat]

I mean... he is?

No he's not.

I believe if the manager, his assistant and coaches aren’t looking at Iwobi and thinking he should be playing as a No.10 then he shouldn’t be. Their opinion matters most.

There’s no unjust. The lad has played 50 games for us now and not once has he done something spectacular to make you think “wow this lad would make a great No.10 for us” he just hasn’t.

We’ve seen and heard all this stuff before with players in the past and not once has a player who was said to be not played in their preferred position left and gone on to be a world beater in that position.

Maybe he’ll get a move to a lower league side who play nice attacking football and kick on there in that favoured role. That’s his best option.

Why has there been 50 pages in the Iwobi thread in 4 days? Has something actually happened or is it just people arguing over how crap he is?

Look man I believe in Carlo but people have made this exact same "the manager knows what he's doing" posts for every manager we've had. I don't possess that blind faith.
