Philosopher1979:


Whoever wrote this article is right. Iwobi is better off as an attacking midfielder or deep lying forward. Its funny to see Nigeria knows this while his coaches in England do not see it

In the SE he has had no competition for a very long time. And it suits the style if play in the SE.

At Everton it is a different strategy and style and as a result. He finds himself on the wing. This is the hardest that Iwobi has ever had to work in his football career. His work rate reflects his new team, if you don't work you will be benched.

you mean in Everton or in the NT?

This is an area of concern, one of the things that we always ask about a player. Is what is his unique selling point.

An attribute that gives you competitive advantage over your opponents. That makes you stand out.

When I look at Iwobi, l truly struggle to see what his unique attribute is. Something that makes him invaluable to the team.

It does not mean he is a bad player or not good. But what puts you ahead of everyone else.

I

Exactly!

But which role do you think suit him best?

Personally I think he is better as an attacking midfielder..
But he needs to work on his shooting...

An AM that cannot shoot is like a Lion with no teeth.

His goal tally over the years has proven it is not just a weakness but a handicap. As a consequence he doesn't play AM regularly in his clubs only in the SE.

If he doesn't improve the fans will look at his transfer fee as waste and he will start to get the wrong side of the fans.

Actually, iheanacho's dribble isn't poor but he's not the dribble or drive-in player. If you watch ziyech too, you'd know his the type of guy that doesn't dribble unless necessary.
Iheanacho doesn't have that flair but when necessary he dribbles. For you to rate his dribbling skills poor means that he attempts dribbling and Is unsuccessful but thats not the case. Iheanacho is more of a ziyech type than mahrez's and as a striker or a supporting one the main attribute is passing and scoring. Another example is debryune, he doesn't have this flair but his delivers mad passes compared to Pogba and kovacic that can dribble but kdb dribbles when necessary. That the type of player nacho is.

Man, that's not true. No player in the history of the Eredivise has completed more dribbles than Ziyech. Ever.

Comparing that player to one that can't dribble a stray cat is an abhorrence.

Actually more in his club but less in the SE.

He is a very good player, but he needs to do a lot more. I dont know what number of assists he had this season, goals just 1.

Well in my opinion iwobi is basically a flair player who is creative. Work rate and stamina are not his strength. Maybe he can play midfield with sigurdsson

It is official!!

Unai Emery is Villarreal new coach...
This is good news, Judging by his immature spell at arsenal, Samu should be able to register more goals and assists. BTW, I won't be surprised if Villarreal wins the next Europa league.

You said it yourself. His attribute is you don't know what he might do. Meaning he is an unpredictable player. That's his strength.

He doesn't have the quality of an attacking midfielder. He lacks the most important feature of that role, creativity-decisive. Those little short passes can't do the magic.
I beg to disagree bro. He was arsenal's highest creator of goalscoring chances before he was sold. I think he might have regressed at Everton.

It doesn't follow.

It's a clean slate to sit up, work hard and impress the manager if you don't perform he will bench you.

This is guy that benched a player on £350k a week in Arsenal without hesitation and ceremony.
He didn't bench Ozil because he was not impressive. Ozil got benched due to his attitude.

He is a late bloomer and he was a nobody when he left for Scotland, he was able to get to England bkus he stood out in the midst of carpenters like Ambrose. He would have joined a more serious league from Holland if he was good at Groningen.

According to ogn zaidu sanusi has agreed to join porto. If this is true then that is serious. Porto is a big team in portugal and is respected in European football. If he enters there first team (something kelechi nwakali could not do) then i will respect him and rohr will call him up IMMEDIATELY AND HE MIGHT BENCH COLLINS. That is if he enters porto first team
I don't want him in Porto. Especially after what they did to Awaziem and Yahaya. I admit Yahaya might not be impressive but what about Awaziem?
I don't really fancy that club. Best of luck to him sha

No doubt ,brother , Iwobi has some midfielder qualities and comes across like he can play there , however, the product is reduced in quality. Iwobi is not a creative midfielder !! Just a flash in the pan, hence the inconsistency.

Very true, De Bruyne is a very direct player.

Dribbling is not a necessary ability for a striker it's just a plus. Iheanacho completes more dribbles per90 than Kane, or Ings or Vardy. This doesn't make him better than them.

Bro..i insist..He may not be among the elites creative midfielders yet but saying he is not creative is wrong. This is someone I watch every weekend when he was still at arsenal. But ,judging on his playing pattern, he is more suited to CM though.

The fact that they have just 12 teams is a massive turnoff. But Celtic do produce good players.

Awaziem is not that bad that he can't even feature in cup games... is he? This is someone that went to Nantes and became a regular (correct me if I'm wrong).
maybe I should just say Porto is not just a developmental team. As for Yahaya, I already mentioned he might not be good enough

You mean like Mousa Dembele who declined a £40 million move to Chelsea and decided to stay at Celtic.

Or Swedish striker Larson that left Celtic to Barcelona.

Or we could also add.
Wanyama
Van Dyke
Aluko
Tierney
A. Roberton
C.Adam
S.Petrov


Or we could go bang up to date, with the HEAR and NOW and talk about Celtic Striker Odsonne Edouard wanted by several EPL clubs including Arsenal, Everton and now Leeds.

Or we could talk about Alfredo Morelos, Glasgow Rangers wanted by Lille.

I wonder why some of the best clubs in the World are going to this failed league your words "Failed players from lower leagues in England and France"

Now go and look in the mirror at yourself and consider your words. What do you see, a wise man

Hopefully you would realise how impulsive and out of touch your words are. Now go and pour ice cold water on your head, your brain has over heated so as to kick start your brain to begin to work properly again.

After that have a coke and a smile grin grin grin
