Not for the first time in his Everton career, Alex Iwobi has spent much of this week splitting opinions. In the Toffees’ last home game, he was the hero who scored the crucial 99th-minute winner against Newcastle United with the team down to ten men.
However, he turned into the 'villain' on Sunday when he failed to control a pass from Michael Keane, leading to a costly turnover in the build-up to West Ham United’s decisive winning goal.
For some Everton fans, the mistake optimised Iwboi’s weaknesses. He can be perceived as a player who is careless in possession, which is a problem enhanced when he plays in more central areas of the pitch where turnovers can prove dear, as it did at the weekend.
