Iwobi's lack of Everton impact is harder to defend than ever

 Ahead of the weekend's game vs Manchester United, there are calls once more from the Toffees' faithful for the Nigeria international to be dropped

In Everton's recent defeat to Aston Villa, Rafa Benitez made an interesting decision after an hour, with the score at 0-0.

The former Liverpool boss brought off Salomon Rondon, and in the Venezuelan's stead sent on midfielder Andre Gomes.

There was a brief moment of confusion before the upshot of that decision became obvious. In the absence of both Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Alex Iwobi, to that point employed in a quite ineffectual brief on the right, would play as the side's centre-forward.
