Iwobi to make debut on Saturday – Where should he play? Fan Reactions

Several Everton fans have taken to Twitter to react regarding Alex Iwobi potentially making his debut for the club this weekend and where he should play.

The Nigeria international joined the Toffees from Arsenal on Deadline Day for £28million and many fans are eager to see what the versatile forward can do for the club.

Having already experienced a disappointing goalless draw against Crystal Palace this season, many are hoping to see a better return against Watford at Goodison Park on Saturday, and Iwobi could be key to that success.

But where should the forward play? Marco Silva has already said that Iwobi can play on the left, through the middle and on the right, although he would prefer him to remain in one of the two former positions.

Several Everton fans took to social media to debate where fans could see the 23-year old line-up against the Hornets.

It’s tough to pick between leaving out Bernard and Gylfi Sigurdsson, but if I had to choose I would say Gylfi. Bernard is more dynamic and I think a trio of Bernard, Iwobi and Richarlison behind the striker would cause more damage.

Equally I’d be happy to see Gylfi drop deeper into midfield to partner either JPG or Tom Davies, although I’m not sure Silva will opt to go that route.

It’s a positive headache for Silva to have, with plenty of strong options to fit into his system against the Hornets.
