EXCLUSIVE: Alex Iwobi reacts to new Everton position and how fans have transformed dressing room

Alex Iwobi has hailed Everton fans for their huge support of the side over the last few weeks, including in the aftermath of a 0-0 draw with Watford on Wednesday evening.

Frank Lampard's side pulled one point further away from the relegation zone after a stalemate at Vicarage Road. A match of little quality didn't result in many clear-cut chances for either side, with the best for the Blues falling to Demarai Gray as he poked wide inside the box.

The match followed another show of solidarity from Evertonians on Tuesday as they gathered in large numbers outside Finch Farm to see the team coaches off with banners, smoke bombs and songs. Throughout these huge events, Iwobi has been keeping his social media followers well informed with the mood on those buses.

He mentioned that the squad certainly appreciate the love they have been receiving in recent matches. And the Nigeria international particularly highlighted the amount of away fans who stayed in their seats on Wednesday to applaud the side off the pitch despite what might have been seen as a disappointing result.

Iwobi told the ECHO: "We have to stay positive after this game. We wanted to get the three points, but we didn't. But we've got seven out of the last nine [points], so it's a good result for us to keep on moving.

"Before they [the fans] probably would have been disappointed but it shows how far we've come and how far they've come as well. They're still sticking by us until the end.

"Nobody left when we went to go and clap them, there were no empty seats. So it's helping us when we're on the pitch, because we can feel it.

"Without them, we wouldn't be able to perform the way we are. Especially at Goodison, but to do it away as well we feel it.
