Nah that's a 50/50. The 50/50ers don't get to pull out of the argument when the fact is flying into challenges can just as easily get you sent off as it can win the ball back.
I remember one of the tackles people went crazy about with Iwobi last season and the truth in that one from what I saw was that he could have dove in and maybe 1 or 2 times out of 100 won the ball and put the other team under real pressure but far more often he would have fouled and been booked. Which people would be calling him dumb for.
My feeling is the 50/50 stick is just an extra way to beat on a player who you don't like. I mean it should be out for Bernard and Andre Gomes too if you are getting it out imo, but I don't see it in those threads.
Iwobi was not a player I disliked, until I saw him enough times for Everton to make my mind up, he is a very poor player and a bottler. Bernard doesn’t pull out of tackles or dive recklessly into them, he jockeys opposition players and makes them part with the ball, usually back to his own players, Gomes is not my cup of tea, he hasn’t done it for Everton, one goal and no assists since he came, no pace, he’s not out of place with that one, too many stupid, dangerous and sly tackles, many in goalscoring positions for the opposition. Back to Owobi you like him, keep defending him you can have him for me to be honest, he has skill and can be better than he has shown, just doesn’t seem interested or have the heart to make a go of it at Everton.
