Please, those veterans in the team are spent already. They were woeful.

It was not rocket science that our best players in the team are new young players and few home based.

Oshoala is finished until further notice. She's been bad for some months now.

Iwobi Everton's worst player of that half.

According to TheLoneCitizen.

If you had said arguably the worst player, then there might be no need replying you, but you sounded in absolute terms which made it a false witness account, because Iwobi wasn't the worst player of that half, and wasn't a liability, let alone a complete liability in their last two games.

Iwobi was handed everything in that match to shine:

1. A starting position behind the striker
2. Less defensive responsibilities
3. A one on one clear-cut chance handed on a platter of gold via a defensive mixup when Everton were 1-0 down.
The funny thing about that chance is that Iwobi rarely finds himself in such positions.
4. The coach refusing to sub him off despite him tiring at 70 mins
5. The coach moving him to striker rather than Demarai Gray after Rondon was substituted

Yet man flopped. This is why he gets so much stick on social media.

Luthben:


What exactly is the reason for his inconsistency?

In my opinion, his problems are lack of confidence and his versatility.

Most people think being able to play in many positions is a blessing, but he is only a jack of all trade and master of none.

James Rodriguez has played in only one position since his signing.
New signing, Townsend, only one.
Demaria Gray two.
Richarlison two.
Under Rafael Benitez alone, Iwobi has played in 4! Striker, AM, LW and RW.

This is not including the l/r wingback, right fullback and l/r/c midfield positions under Ancelotti. That is 10 positions in one year.

If you tweak something too much, it will break.

I decided to go back to this post just to buttress further my point

You made the following statement and i quote.
Please note the emphasis

TheLoneCitizen:
Victor Moses outplayed Ejuke in every aspect this evening, despite playing at wingback.

Ejuke couldn't get past.

To prove your statement wrong, i said the following:

Meliforme:


This is Victor Moses greatest showing since the league commencement. Dude just took advantage of a bad midfield setup to shine.
Of all the forwards that featured for both teams, Ejuke got the highest rating. That should tell you something.
Ejuke won more cleaner tackles than Victor Moses and recorded a better passing accuracy.

Ejuke has a better rating in the current league season than Victor Moses.


I watched the match.
Ejuke is on the list of top tackles made and had a better passing accuracy according to whoscored.

What got me smarting were the words in every aspect and that statement is wrong.
and adding the fact that Ejuke's decision making and movements contributed immensely to the lone goal made your claim a lie.

"Osimehn lacks Quality in tight spaces but is hard to catch in open spaces" (Napoli coach) he just reechoed what I said last season, i.e positioning himself properly. I like this new coach because he is blunt and direct which will help a player improve on his weakness
Osimehn, ndidi and iheanacho are our closest now to being world class and we must support, constructively criticize and promote them as much as possible

What are you trying to achieve with this argument, fam. The same Whoscored you quoted rated Victor Moses as the Man of the Match, so what's your point?

It's even worse that you watched the match for 90 minutes and couldn't discern that Victor Moses wasn't deployed in midfield as Sofascore suggested.

And i thought the Black Queens were the shlttiest team? See who's out-queening the black queens?

No seriousness, cohesion, understanding, defensive prowess. Their body language is the same old one when they don't care.

Rivers Angel babe came ready for her own career. Was Oshoala on that pitch atall? Stale mehn. Dem go just chop for WWC.

Victor Moses was played as a Wingback, you don't need to be deployed as a midfielder to take advantage of a bad midfield. Wingbacks can exploit a bad midfield.
Being rated man of the match, doesn't mean that he edged Ejuke in every aspect.

If you are yet to see the point i am making, then there is no need engaging you.
The posts i made is not just for you, but to prevent feasting on bad information from a reputable source.
