Iwobi: Why is he so nervous ?

[ANC]

He is not it. I am sorry.
The sooner you start trying others in the AM position the better.

[bushboy]

I said this in another thread a few days back and I was viciously attacked.
I have watched him play for Everton all season long, I only recall ONE single good game. Looks like money wasted so far.

[Eaglezbeak]

It’s surprising he should be more relaxed by now, he has potential but needs to release it!

[john12]

he performs extremely better for Nigeria than at his clubside and his position is a position that we're lacking heavily. For that reason, his almost undropable For Us until a suitable replacement is found. 7 in 40 goals for Nigeria a good standard for Nigeria level

[ANC]

They need to place him on SSRI, seriously. He is playing himself out of the team.

[Tobi17]

Something just seems off about the boy, can't put a finger on what it is...

[ANC]

By the way, it is just not him, Ndidi has similar problem, his saving grace is the role he plays. Its like they are sacred of giving away the ball.

Everton should just play him in the left midfield.

My finger has been on it for weeks. He is an extremely lazy player!! Not once ounce of hustle. All the skill in the world cannot mask his deficiencies. When you are on a team like Arsenal who play possession football, you can hide and play one touch passes and soon a team will think you are worth 25 million. But on a team Like Everton, he sticks out like a sore thumb. Weak as hell on the ball. Never wins ANY 50/50 balls, cannot sheild, cannot tackle, passes go astray. What on earth is he good for? Soon the fans will turn on him and he will end up in championship football. He needs to sit up. Clock is ticking.

Damn.

But he wins his fair share of balls.

[ANC]

He is an intelligent player.
But he needs to man-up.

What a pathetic thread and post from none entities. Even the first goal Everton scored was made by Iwobi

This forum is full of liars...Iwobi had a solid game..he even gave Moises a sweet pass and he missed...there are so many liars on CE

You are not objective.

[bret- hart]

So its Iwobi's fault that Everton's defense is rubbish? Its Iwobis fault that Pichford is a terrible GK? Its Iwobis fault that Moise Keen cannot finish a chance from close range? Its Iwobis fault that Silva is a terrible manager?? Everything good Everton did was via Iwobi. As for the clown that opened this thread, How is Issac Success doing?? Dude cant even start for a team that is bottom of the EPL. Bushboy you have 0 credibility when it comes to judging the abilities of these players. ZERO!

He also has zero credibility on another issue I won't bring up

[ANC]

Who gives a rats A.S.S about Everton.
There is something wrong with the way he plays.
Is he hard working?. The answer is YES
Is he intelligent? The answer is an emphatic Yes and Yes.
He plays scared and gives away the ball too often for a player of his quality.
It may have to do with the cubs he play for and/or the fans.
Now he plays with greater confidence in Green and White.

[Tobi17]

Iwobi tries to his ability... but unfortunately he doesn't have that extra factor to be world class... he's still young which is good, but how better can he get? I hope I'm proven wrong but I see Iwobi ending up as another decent but uneventful player in the worst case scenario, and at best (maybe playing under a top notch manager and a good system), he might end up like another Zaha( quality enough to play at that mid table level, but not world class enough to be a Mane or Salah).

Perhaps...its all about expectation.

The issue is more with Silva trying to accommodate Gilfy Siggurdson and Iwobi on the pitch at the same time. They are similar - creative technical players. You need only one and preferably surround that one AM with 2 natural ball winners. That set up gives you better balance in midfield. The pass Iwobi released to setup their first goal plus what should’ve made it 3-4 but wasted by Moise Keane, provides insight as to his value.

Therefore the issue for me has always been indecisiveness by Silva wrt personnel selection and it will likely cost him his job sooner than later. Why is Gilfy playing next to Tom Davies in their pivot when a more natural ball winner in Schneiderlin is in the bench? Iwobi is a very good player but he thrives on confidence. Some players are like that and need the proverbial arm around the shoulder here and there to bring out the best in them. Whereas others are naturally hardened personalities who aren’t flustered easily but on the flip side may be less coachable. There’s pros and cons to every situation depending where your personal biases or preferences leads you. But for me, the main culprit is Silva.

[maceo4]

G4L, we are talking about Iwobi individually losing the ball constantly, being careless in passes and acting like he’s hustling while being mostly lazy. This was the case in Arseanal for SE even when he played ahead of Glyfi. I don’t care about Everton more so that our players improve individually.

Bro,
They are not saying its was Iwobis fault that everton lost. THey are saying his personal play is poor.

Im not about to join the Iwobi bashing club because I believe he's got talent but he's not turned up for everton this season and he hardly turned up for Arsenal last season. He's play and impact is usually 10/10 once in comes in as a sub but as a starter, he's been pretty disapointing.

I watched yesterday's game and i was trying to figure out what the issue is with this obviously extremely talented lad. He works very hard, he runs, hes physical but I think his first problem is positioning. He doesnt position himself properly to be available for the ball so he sees less of the ball or gets it in very tight situations which means he loses the ball once its passed to him.

Secondly, alot of times, he does the "no be me spoil ball" move which makes him look panicky but whenever he's not in that mode, he's abeast.

Thirdly, for NIgeria, even though he is one of the highest goalscorers in the SE (most of which he got as a winger), when he is in the midfield, under ROhr's system, he tends to focus more on the hardwork and less on attakcing, giving defense spliting passes and dribbling. Again, under Rohr's system, he seems to dwell alot on the ball with alot of indecision. Again, I wuold blame this on Rohr's system.

But I believe, with more experience (another year or 2) Iwobi would over come this shortcomings alot of which deals with confidence and further understanding of football. All these get corrected with age and experience.

[Cally]

You all and your negative energy will never prevent this boy from flourishing and being the best that he is. I watched the game yesterday and to come today and read this rubbish? Some Nigerians sha..smh. Tufiakwa!!!

May you all be judged at your work places exactly the way you judge this young man.

Like BigPokey rightly said, he played very well yesterday, with energy and drive. He even laid a very intelligent pass to Moise Kean who missed badly. You all will never give him credit for any good thing he does, but magnify any supposed flaw.

Rubbish...

The level of hating and lying against Iwobi on this forum beggars belief.
