2022/23 Alex Iwobi

He's been fine...Believe me we'd notice it if he got injured.

Another day where he makes a very important contribution to a goal that no one really seems to care about. I know that pass to Doucoure seems easy but no one on our team regularly makes those types of passes to open defenses up aside from him.

Ive been so in awe at that pass that I've been paralysed since, until now

Great pass

What sums him up is when we broke after a Brentford attack and the ball was played quickly forward. It came to him and somehow he back heeled it to a Brentford player which allowed them to counter attack. Anyone thinking he should get a new contract is deluded. If Dyche offers him a new improved contract he should be sacked.

Thought he played well today

….his pass in the lead up to the goal was something of real quality. He’s capable of that more than anybody in the team but we only see it on occasion.

Exactly this

People are slating him but he was one of the only guys we have that could create our goal

Is it because we'd no longer notice the long green dreadlocks floating around the football pitch?

Getting rid of him next season for somebody better would be a big sign that EFC are improving.

He does have moments, he does have talent but he never scores and does not have a big enough
impact on games. And certainly not for 100k a week that some in the press are mentioning.

Dyche might not have him on his 'must-go' list but he surely is on the ' upgrade-required' list.

….I’d call him a ‘sellable asset’, a player we should sell for decent money & then use that income to improve the capability of the team. Much will depend on whether we are still in the league next season.

He makes them pass it back or waste it. It's the likes of Davies who goes in for tackles in no mans land and lands us in the [Poor language removed]. Iwobi is just fine for me.

Fair that’s your opinion but I’ve seen countless times where he’ll press but it means nothing if he doesn’t go in for the challenge.

….that’s a good point. His stock might be high but there has to be somebody willing to buy him & he’s got to be willing to,leave.

If we stay up Dyche might be keen on keeping him (he’s a regular starter) but i‘d be wary of giving him a big bucks new contract.

The only team who would have “invested” in him in the prem is Newcastle. And we’ve already scammed them with Gordon.

What stands out to me after watching the tunnel access video was when Coleman hoofed it up the field in that first minute, Iwobi takes a dead sprint to chase what 99% of the time, would have been a lost cause and provide support to Gray. Without that sprint, he’s not in position for the key pass to Doucoure, which then leads to the goal. Great effort.
