Sunday Oliseh has praised Alex Iwobi for his outstanding displays following Everton’s goalless draw against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on Saturday.
Megasportsarena.com reports that the former Super Eagles coach, who gave Iwobi his international debut tweeted:
“Alex Iwobi’s performance today especially and in recent months, has me excited and makes me so proud as a compatriot. Vision, physical, clairvoyance, pace, aggressive and above all, he has found total belief in his capabilities. This is great for Nigeria and Everton. Bravo Lampard and Alex.”
Iwobi has been the Toffees standout player in the new season and he had 47 touches, 65 passes with an 86 per cent ratio, seven ball recoveries, three clearances, one shot on goal and a successful tackle in the encounter.
Meanwhile, Everton boss, Frank Lampard was also full of praises for the former Arsenal forward, “For me the thing with Alex was to make him feel like he had my confidence. Now Evertonians will tell you he was brilliant in the second half of last season and a big part of what we’re doing.
“The beauty of him, which is not the norm with a modern player, if you tell him to play anywhere he’ll say ‘no problem’. He’ll understand it and he won’t be upset by it”.
