Iwobi states Everton’s problem in the Premier League
Alex Iwobi has summarised Everton’s Premier League challenge to be lack of consistency and making costly little mistakes.
Frank Lampard’s men dropped to the relegation zone last Sunday after a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.
Everton are now 18th with 29 points from 32 matches and they are yet to win an away game in the Premier League since August 28 (2-0 win at Brighton).
Motivated by the fans’ unflinching support, Iwobi – who has contributed two Premier League goals and an assist this season – pointed out factors behind the Toffees’ dip in form.
“My first couple of years here weren’t the greatest but this is my best period at Everton,” Iwobi told Everton website. “I want to use it as a platform to kick on and make more positive memories with this club.
“I want to win something with Everton – and do my best for the club. But my focus now is on these six ‘cup finals’, then we can think about next season.
“Our problem has been a lack of consistency and, more recently, little mistakes have cost us.
“But the fans have been excellent and if we continue giving everything, especially the way we feel at Goodison, we will pick up the points we need.
“There is a lot of belief in the squad, we are ready to fight. Even the players not playing, their mentality has been professional and elite.
“It is a proper family right now and that is helping us push through games. We have to fight every day. Not just for ourselves, but for our families and the fans. We will keep going, just stick with us.”
Everton are not in action this weekend and they are scheduled to travel to the King Power Stadium for their next Premier League match against Leicester City on May 8.
