‘Iwobi Had Better Leave Everton’ – Nigerian Fans React To Winger’s Absence Vs Tottenham:: All Nigeria Soccer

Alex Iwobi was conspicuously missing from Everton’s matchday squad as the Toffees began their 2020/2021 Premier League season with a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday evening, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

His absence has fueled speculations that the Super Eagle might not find it easy breaking into his side’s front three which contained Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison and James Rodriguez at the London Stadium.

The Nigerian has contributed little in terms of goals and assists since his big-money move to Everton from Arsenal on the final day of the summer transfer window in 2019.

While Lucas Digne set up Calvert-Lewin with an inswinging cross for the winner, below are some of the things fans had to say on Twitter about Iwobi’s absence from the affair.

@diaran_aji: Just wondering the future of Alex Iwobi in this Everton team…..

@pauly1878: Iwobi will struggle to make the Everton bench, he’s not PL standard unfortunately. He’s never going to be a starter from now on. Allan is defensive midfielder, Iwobi isn’t, he’s never going to start ahead of him or Doucoure. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Iwobi loaned out

@moustea00: Iwobi would need to up his game to get a snif of this Everton team. And when I say up his game, I mean Swansea Michu up . #EPL

@odabiprecious1: I feel sad for Iwobi. Man is definitely out of the Everton starting lineup for the forseeable future😥

@unclevee: Iwobi better start finding a new home cos e be like say dem wan evict am from Everton

@chineduanaz: Iwobi had better leave Everton. He stands no chance in this squad.

@sdhikrullahi: Who else is going to advise Iwobi to leave Everton, I don’t see where he is needed at the moment, Davies and Sigurdson on bench with Walcott and Keane

@celestineceeman: Iwobi will need to up his game if he wants to break into this Everton team I’m seeing ooo

@knedved007: #toteve is a great game to watch, this Everton is really playing well… My advice for Iwobi is to play better or look for another team .
