Who exectly ?

The Twitter admin, he knew exactly the connotation of that picture before he posted it

How many of you agree with me that Iwobi is overhyped? ...especially on this thread

Did kelechi nwakali play well today. Anybody with enough information should say something

Yes... Now let me add some flesh to this.

Got subbed in on 60mins with Huesca 1-0 down. Some minutes after he came on, they went 2-0 down. Not long after that they got a penalty and made it 2-1. Around the 90mins + added time mark, K.Nwakali played a fine role in their equaliser that made it 2-2. Started the move by holding onto the ball before picking his pass, sending a calm ball to the right wing for the winger to carry on and pick a cross and it resulted in a goal.

Played 30mins+ today and again encouraging signs were seen. The lad just need to keep on playing. With more minutes, hopefully will come more extra urgency and intensity to his game. He did okay today.


Let the cries of bias resume.

Kelechi Nwakali has been subsistuted in for Huesca in the 60th minute

Everton holding Liverpool to a draw should be considered an accomplishment, considering how poor they were pre-COVID.

Because of a match against run away league leaders? Where he was played out of position and had to do a lot of defensive duty in a defensive set-up.

TheLoneCitizen:
You need to watch this excellent save or finishing from Onyekuru's shot. Onyekuru's movement is wow.

Another frustrating day for Onyekuru, tired of defending the lad. Two consecutive games where he has the least number of passes. Doesn't get involved, just interested in scoring. Explosive forward but not a team player.

Iwobi had the best rating by a non-defender for Everton yet Twitter won't let him be. Coach set up defensively and if Richarlison had passed to him, would have had a goal. Nobody slates Rich.

He is overhyped bro. First half was descent, but 2nd half went completely off because of lack of positioning. Let's learn to be telling ourselves the truth abeg. And even when he was played in his natural wing. There is actually nothing spectacular.

Shouldn’t onyekuru join this club permanently once and for all ?

Iwobi overhyped ?

Continue you hear

It's not love. It's simple match report. But as usual, some will turn it into me being biased.

Truthfully he is far from there yet. Needs more minutes to get into premium match fitness. Also needs to play with much more intensity but hopefully that will come with more minutes played since he's been out for far too long. But he is trying so far.

I don talk my own sha. Someone that cannot play full 90min without gasing out. He is just average outmost.

Overhyped how? It's not like anyone is comparing him to De bruyne or anything, he's just Iwobi

No bro, not just this match
I'm a lover of Iwobi, I've been loving him since his early Arsenal days but in my own opinion of him, dude isn't as good as people say he is. Though I really want him to prove me wrong sha

Edopesin:

The reason why he is still playing for the SE is because of lack of competition.

Lol I've been follow this thread for a long time now, believe me when I say folks here do hype Iwobi ...mean no offence o

Lols but has he been doing bad for us? No

andrewbaba44:

It's confirmed that they don't have the money. Turkish clubs income are from the crowd.

Edopesin:

He is not spectacular either, like I said before the only reason he is still playing for SE is because of lack of competition. And of course he can't bench any of our wingers self, if he was to go to his natural position.

You ain’t bias

You like him and there is nothing wrong with that

I don’t think you will be more happier than me if he gets back to his fit

I no Dey too reason am ,but I am praying for huesca to make It to laliga because of him

But mind you I might still criticize him if e Bleep up sha ,you already know the name and the potential he has

TheLoneCitizen:

And dem Dey overpay Falcao

Falcao don enjoy life for European teams sha ,e no need hear China

Hmmm... The chances of Huesca making it into La Liga is good but it's still a tough one. If they can fight their way into top two in the remaining 8 games then fine but Almeria, Zaragoza and Cadiz are not smiling too.

Right now they sit 4th, four points above fifth Elche, and just two behind Almeria. Cadiz and Zaragoza occupy the automatic top two spots. So as it stands their chances of a La Liga promotion will be via playoffs. But with 8 games to go, top two is still possible. Time will tell.

I actually believe Iwobi is grossly underrated on this thread. That's my own observation. I don't recall anyone likening Iwobi to Okocha or raising him to world class status.

What you don't know is the central importance of Iwobi to the way the current Super Eagles play in the final third. So yes, he is very underrated in here.

Maybe it's because of my high expectations from him sha but in my own korokoro eyes, I no see wetin Iwobi dey play o. He just run around pitch and disappear when game intensity is high. Na lack of good competition make us dey see Iwobi like Paul Scholes for Super Eagles

so na so Una go dey churn out lies from pit of hell

If no be say person watch this match, I for swallow this bullcrap you wrote there..

Everton as a team were on a defensive mode and iwobi helped by tracking back defensively.. abi you were seating on top of the television watching your coach and tables?

For today, Everton was up against the league leaders. Iwobi had more to do defensively than offensively when you consider the high quality of the opposition today. He made 1 tackle, 2 interceptions, and 2 clearances. We hardly saw him on the offensive today and that explains why he didn't do above average. Also, maybe he would have had a goal if Richarlison had not played selfish.


Let me just show you a graphical example of what Iwobi brings to the Eagles. A key player to our fast phases of play in attack in the final third. It is true he needs competition but he is also doing good in the GWG.

Some people haven't taken the time to really understand what Iwobi brings hence they keep underrating the lad and calling him hyped. Even Arsenal fans know better now. Iwobi is really underrated in here.

u no go see his efforts on the pitch cus u no sabi ball. Even arsenal fans today are missing alex.

He is not a player to wow u with dribbles and goals but very efficient in what he does best which are 1 touch football qnd linking the midfield with the attackers. Iwobi a thorough arsenal bred player and if you understands wengers philosophy you will know thw reason he rated alex so high

so much and it hurts me badly. Players we deem superb are does who dribbles around the pitch with little work off the ball.

Alex is a superb player if we really understand his game and also a good team player. Saw thw game with liverpool few minutes ago where he played strictly to ancelotti's instruction by being more defensive nothwithstanding made decisive passes when the opportunity came.

Alex is the most underated nigerian player currently
