Heath Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Thought Alex Iwobi was full of energy, pace, and very direct and positive with his style of play against Lincoln. It's too early to judge yet of course, but if he can put in regular, consistent performances like that against Premier League opposition, I will be very happy indeed.

sydneyneil Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I agree with all the above. Always asking for the ball and always looking to do something positive with it. He's more direct than I thought. I like his attitude and hopefully he can spark some life into our attacking play. Good to see him get off the mark too as I'm sure he's been asked to score more goals than he was doing at Arsenal. Deserved his goal tonight.

He had a bit of a brain fart infront of goal but I know he normally would take chances like that. He looks like hes got real quality and will be a threat to Siggys position this sesaon.

I don’t think Siggy would look anywhere near as bad with Davis and Gomes behind him You might not find this unsurprising but I disagree with that. The difference in movement between Iwobi/Richarlison and then DCL/Siggy was huge. Iwobi in particular made it so easy for anyone behind him (Davies, Gomes and the back 4) to get the ball forward quickly. He was stifling Richarlison and he was dragging Rice all over the pitch. Yesterday Davies / Gomes played a combined 87 passes of which 55 were played forward = 63%. Richarlison and Iwobi touched the ball 96 times. Against City Delph / Schneiderlin played a combined 80 passes of which 49 were forward = 61%. DCL and Siggy touched the ball 78 times. Digne and Coleman played 30 more forward passes against West Ham than against City. Against City we had only 37% and yet against West Ham we had 52% possession but they only played 6 less forward passes. This says everything about the type of team we were playing against in both of those games. It's so much easier for us to move the ball forward against the teams that attack us. Would Davies and Gomes be able to play as many easy forward passes against Burnley, Villa or Sheff Utd? The starting 4 up front played 72 forward passes against West Ham but only 45 against City. That is partly due to the team they were playing but it also highlights how many more options those players had in front of them, and therefore how much more space they enjoyed. Just as a contrast in the Sheffield Utd game they played 74 forward passes despite 70% possession and against Villa they played 63 forward passes despite 65% possession. I certainly wouldn't argue with anyone who said you would expect more forward passes from Davies and Gomes than Schneiderlin but people should appreciate the team we were playing and how that suited the football they played. When we go back to playing teams that park the bus and sit with two banks of four we will still come up against the same problems whether it be Delph, Schneiderlin, Gomes, Davies, Gbamin or anyone else you want to name, unless the movement in front of them is a lot better than it had been prior to yesterdays game. The potential problem I see with Davies and Gomes is defensively. They did well yesterday but weren't really tested however Fornals scuffed a good chance when Davies should have been dropping in between the ball and the player. Fortunately that was one of the only times they ran past our midfield. Next weekend, Brighton will come out and play from what I have seen of them and that will be a big test away from home. I think we will still have the space to play our game but I think that midfield will be tested a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 I thought you might the litmus test will be Iwobi in front of Delph and Morgan and see if he still has the space to make the most of.

Bernard stays out wide and spreads the team out, leaving space in the middle for Iwobi/Gylfi/ACM to work. He will be a big miss, i don't rate iwobi.

Wiggytop Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Thoughts on him so far as were close to half season in. I was impressed with him in the first few games, but the last 6-7 I think he has been disappointing, runs around a fair bit, but often without any purpose or effect, and I can’t stand the throwing his hands up in the air if what he was trying to do doesn’t work out. I think he’s capable of far more, and hope it’s just been the piss poor Marco effect that’s stoped him from impressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh Richarlison as number 1. I don't think that reason makes a wide player useless. Pienaar made a career here out of doing just that. It's the same thing Bernard does too.

Romey 1878 Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Comfortably the worst player on the pitch last night and has been close to that for weeks now. I see people saying he's technically very good... well, sometimes he is. Often his touch is shocking, his passing can be extremely shite, he's very, very one footed which hinders him too. Funny that Kean was subbed, and slammed by our fans, for not doing his job and not working hard, but Iwobi swans around putting no effort in and he's left on the pitch and no one really goes to town on his effort levels. Started well but has steadily gotten worse. I hope there's a reversal soon because at the minute he's adding absolutely nothing.

Bailey Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I don't think it's just a coincidence that both him and Bernard struggled. I saw a player trying to make an impact but struggling significantly to do so. Neither of them seem to have settled into what's needed for a wide player in a 442 formation. They have both played like guys who aren't sure of themselves and they are making silly errors as a result. In specific reference to Iwobi, he seemed a lot more confident and comfortable when he moved centrally against Utd. It was like a switch had flipped because he was shite beforehand. That says to me more that it's about his effectiveness in the position rather than his overall ability. Btay and pete0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
