Everton: Fans slam Carlo Ancelotti’s call to start Alex Iwobi vs Fulham

Loads of Everton fans have been blasting Alex Iwobi as he is named in the starting line-up by Carlo Ancelotti ahead of their clash vs Fulham, even branding the manager’s decision to start the midfielder as ‘pathetic’.

As per the official Twitter page of the Goodison Park faithful, the Nigeria international will start with Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure in midfield behind the forward trio of James Rodriguez, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.
