Alex Iwobi

I think a lot of the flack toward him would ease if we actually had a goal threat from the RW. Right now, everything is passing through him and it’s showing up his rassing/lenging ability in front of goal.

He was nearly one-v-one with the keeper around 70 mins? and banged it straight at his body. No composure whatsoever.

Iwobi playing this many games for us is an indictment of how bang average we are in that position.

My hopes were briefly raised earlier in the season but he’s just so ordinary. I’m sick of the sight of those shitty, pointless step overs.

The lenging and the rassing from him is just abysmal too.

I actually thought he was decent tonight, and he linked up well with Özil.

What fans are furious about this?

Some people are saying his actions are not in keeping with Arsenal’s “Class”

Personally I thought it was incredibly lame and embarrassing but I wasn’t furious about it.

It’s no more lame than their players flopping around like dead fish or Diego Costa punching someone in the kidney during a goal kick.

I thought it was kind of funny. Some mind games, maybe?

Still love Kola dragging Iwobi back thinking he was in trouble. :joy:

Mind games in the fourth minute of five minutes of extra time? Seems unlikely. Just Iwobi being cringey

I just found it childish or at best lazy poor quality banter.

Maybe the dudes breath was just fucking rank.

Also I really hate the way two or three cunts tweets are getting treated as national news for shit like this. I may have said that before.

Childish bollocks from a player who displays very little maturity on the pitch, not too surprising if you think about it.

Anyway, the comments in that article are more embarrassing than what Iwobi did - “anybody who defends him is sick in the head”. I mean really? Save that kind of shit for the terrorists and rapists.

Bang on, the fact he probably hoped/expected his antics would stir up more of a funny reaction on social media and it didn’t is enough for me.

My only concern with him in the last couple weeks is Auba/Laca/Rambo/Ozil/Mkhi have all overtaken him with regards to form and output so I expect some serious groundwork from him when he does get his opportunities. Which in fairness to him, he has done this season imo

I’d rather he do that than lose his shit and headbutt the guy or something, which is what I’m worried about with short fuses like Xhaka and Lacazette. I think the pair of them are walking red cards at any moment if the match isn’t going well.

To be fair to Iwobi I can never see him getting sent off for aggression
