‘We’ve got to be consistent’ – Alex Iwobi upbeat about Everton survival chances

Nigeria midfielder Alex Iwobi is optimistic that Everton will bounce back from their current disappointing run of poor results and feels his team only needs to be more consistent to stay afloat.

After a spirited display against defending champions Manchester City at the Etihad, the Toffees were expected to put up a more improved display against Brighton at Goodison Park, but they fell 4-1 to Roberto De Zerbi’s men.

Iwobi, who has been one of Everton’s top players this season, although had a game to forget against Brighton and has revealed that the team are not low on confidence, while assuring they’ll recover from their poor form.

“I don’t think confidence is the issue. We showed how we can play versus Man City,” Iwobi told Liverpool Echo.

“We can’t be one minute good one minute bad. We’ve got to be consistent. The way we discussed in the changing room now we all want to fix it. I’m confident we can get ourselves out of this.”

The 26-year-old midfielder has scored a goal while providing five assists for the Toffees this season and he will hope to inspire his side’s fortunes, beginning against Manchester United in an FA Cup showdown on Friday.
