I think Lampard summed him up the day by saying something like ‘and we have Alex who can play everywhere’. What a player but I think with Gueye holding, he is going to have more opportunity to influence the attacking third.

One of the few things one of the greatest manager’s in history got wrong

Alexi Iwobi On Everton Support - GrandOldTeam

Alex Iwobi has spoke out on how the support he’s being shown by Evertonians for his effort has boosted his confidence and removed a fear of making mistakes. The midfielder has been revitalised under Frank Lampard, which many attribute to an increased work ethic. The 25-year-old covered a total...

Speaking to evertonfc.tv about that match, Alex Iwobi said: “I was doing all right but then played a sloppy pass. The fans clapped the pass because they saw the intent. It was the first time that had happened for ages.

“To hear that change in environment, I felt, ‘Wow, that is kind of nice – as long as you are giving 100 per cent, if it doesn’t come off, they will stay behind you’.

“That support removes the fear of making mistakes, you are prepared to try things on the ball.


“I feel much more confident. My friends tell me about the positive comments and the fans singing my name, and my dad is always looking on social media to make sure everything is good.

He realised if he put in a shift, he'll get support no matter what.

That's what was the big change in my opinion.

Which he thought was a number 10 not a 6.

End of the day, Lamps took a punt on that position and it's working out for him.

Right up from his professional debut to 25 years old he's played as a winger. So let's not have this "born to be a midfield and spent best part of a decade out of position" rubbish

Imagine if we'd of got rid for say 20 million to Villa, who decide to give him a run in midfield and he transforms them !!! Nightmare stuff that !!

Maybe so, but he was still correct that that position wasn’t winger

Even if he was forced to play out wide now he'd still play well in my opinion. Its not just the positional change, its the effort and the confidence.

But long may he prosper in the middle.

It's better that fans acknowledge intent with progressive passing or someone trying something new and creative. The greatest players like Zidane and Riquelme never had every attacking pass come off for them but instead you would see them passing into space sometimes to reward good runs from teammates. Sometimes it won't come off but it's boss to hear players acknowledging the support of the fans for it. This season especially I'm all down for encouraging the lads to express themselves while we right the ship and take some of the pressure off them and I think that support and perspective really will give them added confidence like Iwobi states. UTFT!

You could put him in goal and he'd no doubt still be near MOTM.

So important. Ordinary players can look really good when they're full of confidence. Great players can look really poor when they're low on confidence.

I think perhaps we as fans should consider this with people like McNeill, Davies etc.

It’s a bit chicken and egg (we need to see a shift) but creating an environment where players have that confidence can have a massive impact.

Not a finer midfielder outside the top 4 than Al Iwobi at the moment
