Football fans have reacted after Alex Iwobi was left out of Everton’s 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday’s Premier League game.
The versatile Super Eagles player teamed up with the Goodison Park outfit from Arsenal, where he spent 16 years, in the summer of 2019 for a fee around £28 million.
The 24-year-old has, however, been struggling to live up to expectations, as injury and loss of form have limited his playing time.
The Nigeria international was omitted from Carlo Ancelotti‘s squad in their opening game of the 2020-21 campaign.
Everton secured a stunning victory over Jose Mourinho’s men in the encounter, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring the only goal.
Football enthusiasts have taken to social media to express their opinions on Iwobi’s failure to make the Toffees team.
God of Iwobi where art thou 🙏🏽 https://t.co/tKKsxo64NL

Iwobi leaving Arsenal became the death of his career...

Under a modern, attacking, progressive manager like Pep or Klopp who develop young players, Iwobi will be insane. He just needs freedom and confidence. Ancelotti has blood on his hands for what he has done to Iwobi. He needs to go & manage a national team.😊

No iwobi on the bench btw. Wouldn’t be surprised if he went before the end of the window

*cough cough swap deal with Zaha
Right, we need the echo to substitute Rihanna Brewsters name with Alex iwobi and try and get us a massive transfer fee for him by making him look like the finished article rather than just a bit part player.

Is Iwobi injured? Strange he doesn't make the Everton squad at all.

Iwobi doesn't even make the bench for Everton. Sad to see how his move has panned out. Still think he is a very talented player and just hasn't had the right manager for him yet.

No Iwobi on the bench 👀

Off to Palace and certain Wilfried going the other way 🤔
Ancelotti using the 4-4-2 diamond formation. Iwobi is really messed up now. https://t.co/ns2jskcQqi
