2022/23 Alex Iwobi

Stats? Some players just never go missing, are always available and drive a team. He is worth his weight and with better players ahead of him would be even better. He is excellent and one of a few to be relied upon.

How many times this season has he been dropped to the bench? Not many, that tells you all you need to know.

He was frustrating the life out of Lee Dixon yesterday on the stateside coverage. Dixon went as far as saying he plays the game too quickly and needs to slow down.

He was 100% right.
He runs too far or runs when he shouldn't.
He also hits every cross about twice and far as needed and overhits passes regularly

He's a headless chicken

Have to agree to disagree. With no end product that gets you nearly relegated!

A lot needs to happen before the end product but we all see what we see.

Pienaar had poor end product stats but was essential to the team in link up and also work rate. I'm not saying wobbers is anywhere near Pienaars level but there is more to be judged on than end product.

Pienaar had very good stats at his peak

Keep.

Keep.

We don't have any choice

Then there's no debate.
We haven't got a clue where we're at yet and with it being closed season there's absolutely jack we can do about it.
We are actually set adrift on memory bliss...

The close season is one of only two times we can actually do something about it, we won't, but we could.

Ideal world he's either paid a lot less and packs out next season's squad or we sell him and find a cheaper waged player to take his spot.
We're in a far from ideal world so he'll be paid more than he'd get elsewhere while we hopefully try to sort the more essential needs in the squad.
File under 2024 replacing at best.

Nobody is taking a pay cut to stay here

 

[Andy is the King]

I think Iwobi has become something of a whipping boy. Yes he frustrates (over hits crosses, poor passes), but most players frustrate.

He has played plenty of decent games. He works hard & he does have creative flair. Stats don't tell the whole picture, he is part of a luckluster team that needs overhauling. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves when he plays well.

Is he the best midfielder going around? No. But he's worth hanging on to, there are greater priorities than replacing Iwobi.

My two cents worth.
