The biggest let down last night was Iwobi, again!
He come on at half time fresh, and once again offers absolutely nothing to the team.
Aimless dribbles, multiple touches of the ball then loses it with a bad pass.
Quite possibly the clubs worst ever signing,
It shows you how much Anchelotti rates him by being on the bench during a major midfield injury crisis.
And in fairness to Carlo, he has given everyone a fair chance to impress.
But Iowbi continues to be a completely ineffective. The
On a wider point, the team is screaming out for 2 wingers with some pace.
Has to be the priority ahead of a goalkeeper this summer.
Iwobi and Bernard are not the answer, tried and failed.

I think most clubs have similar issues, on the flip side you can quote DCL, Richarlison, Digne etc. te players, then paying them too much in wages. Sandra, Walcott, Bolasie, Tosun, the list goes on and onThe real problem has been the threat of relegation leading to management changes and panic buys over the last few seasons, all too haphazard with too many misfits. Iwobi was another moment when we panicked after failing to sign Zaha, my few Arsenal mates were shocked at the fee and I can see why, he is capable but has no consistency, great attitude but very frustrating.
Yeah you've signed some crap tbf, I don't think signing proven EPL players is the answer anymore, you just get ripped off for average players. The only exception is if the team is being relegated, a falling out or they're out of contract (Ings, Pereira from WBA etc.). Iwobi, Walcott and other average EPL players end up costing 30m+ but have pretty much hit their ceiling, so their value only ends up going down.
Someone previously mentioning signing Zaha, but you'll pay 60m for him, pay him 120k a week and in 3 years he'll be starting to lose his pace and won't be as effective, yet you'll have him here for another 2/3 years.
You wanna be looking at the Championship and teams that don't come up. I said Buendia last summer, think he'll stay at Norwich now though. Olise from Reading and Mbeuno from Brentford will be decent buys as long as neither teams get promoted.
Daka from Salzburg will be another star buy this summer, only 22 years old as well. Would be class upfront with DCL, depends if you ever use 2 upfront though, I've seen you doing it on occasions but I don't watch you 24/7 so not sure.

I think we've bought too many cast offs from the likes of Arsenal and United over the years. With very few exceptions, if they're not good enough for them, they're not good enough for us IMO.
I'd like to see Aarons come in the summer, and I think we should have had a go at buying Cantwell too. And yes, we need to look outside of the prem, and no, we shpouldn't be going for Zaha, that ship sailed a few seasons ago
