The Everton Forum • Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Watched extended highlights a couple of times since the match and he definitely used the ball better than I knew he could on at least a couple of occasions.
Won the ball, turned in a tight space, dribbled forward and slotted a pass in to someone in an advanced position to run on to it.
Probably did him a disservice a few posts back about him being a 'pass simply to someone else' type player as he did progressive passes and executed them well in the Forest game.
I think the biggest challenge is can he do it when we have more of the ball? The Forest match was playing to his strengths, but when he has more time to think can he still make those passes?
If so we've got a real player on our hands!
