Iwobi has been contributing defensively too. Let's not make like he is not doing any defensively. He presses a lot. Maybe people think he is not defending well because he is not very difficult to dribble unlike other midfielders like Onyeka and Ndidi but he makes up for that with pressing, zonal/positional marking, and ball inceptions.
People who make intelligent passes in football are usually easily dribbled and winning duels. E.g. people say Barcelona has a weak defense because you can easily dribble past their players who on the other hand are very good with tiki-taka football when in possession of the ball.
Let's cut Iwobi some slack please. This is the person that initiates and dictate play in from deep and makes it to the final third to deliver passes. He is always full of running on the pitch reason why he gets tired towards the end of some games. Now is not the time talk bad about Iwobi at all.

This South Africa team will get dropped at the Round of 16.

Either South Africa is poor, or Zimbabwe are ballers on a low.

No one is talking bad but simply calling a spade a spade. Offensively, he has been up there so far but his defensive game is weak and needs work. That is calling for improvement and not badmouthing.

They weren't posing any threat yet the got their only legit goal then.
Ndidi left his central position to cut off their forays through the flanks, that's how the freekick was conceded.
Ndidi's numerous involvements got him battered, he was touching his eyes ( maybe they poked him ) and then he miskicked.
they weren't posing any threat until Onyeka was removed. Anybody can score from a freekick, in fact any team that is not finding it funny in a game will hope and play for a freekick/penalty/cornerkick to get something out of the game, that's how you know a team is not finding it funny, but that was no longer the case with the substitution of Onyeka.

but we have to also acknowledge he is not entirely defensively useless as portrayed here, I don't blame him that he gets a little easily dribbled...the likes of Ozil and Juan Mata where that way too but Iwobi compensates with his pressing, making interceptions and space markings.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 6:54pm On Dec 29, 2025
I did mention he recorded 1 defensive contribution vs Tunisia, didnt I? The point is it is not enough. He should improve his defensive involvement a bit more. It is poor as it stands after 2 games.

Osimhen is the Team's Top Striker yet recorded 3 defensive contributions vs Tunisia. 2 more than a midfielder in Iwobi. It is not a good look.
