2019/20 Alex Iwobi

[tim cahill]

TBF he put a good cross in that DCL should have done better with

Yes, but most of his crosses either hit the defenders or weren't the kind of crosses that forwards can attack.

 

[Robert Chambers]

Let's not get too carried away .... he was ok.

Whole team was pretty dreadful tbf. In fact every team has been pretty dreadful so far except City. Sooner this season is over the better. Not sure if he fits into Carlo's tactics but if he does I think he'll kick on next season.

 

[Saint Domingo]

There’s a player there, for someone else. Sorry, I’m not gona go wild because he did alright for a bit in the second half against Norwich.

It’s almost as if he was bought to fit a manager playing a 4231 system. Think he’ll struggle as an out and out winger as it’s not his position but as a squad option who could fit into different formations if we flex then he could be very useful. Ancelotti needs the players for his first 11 and favoured formation then can use the likes of Iwobi off the bench.

Had a much better game. Second half was driving forward at pace and creating chances DCL could have taken a few...

 

[Lloydystark]

Yeah he was excellent today. Needs to put a run together.

Exactly, we see Quite a few of our players have the 1 or 2 good games but we Need them to be consistent

Only good thing about Iwobi is his crosses are better than Coleman's. That ain't a compliment though.

He was average second half, yet some people are making out he was good ............ really?

 

[Carlito]

I wonder if it's a case of him getting a chance to prove that he can be an option on the right, otherwise he's gone.

He seems to at least be working hard and doing the basics right at the moment. It would be good to see him carry the ball into dangerous areas and commit defenders more often, though.

 

[messymascot]

He's like Osman far better suited as an 8/10 but willing to play out of position as a winger. The advantage he has over Osman is he is more physically developed so wont be brushed off the ball as easily. Not worth the money we paid but he is here now so might as well utilize him as no one is going to recoup us our money.

 

[ChesterBlue]

I thought he was excellent in the second half tbf

 

[Zatara]

Played well second half, but if right wing is gonna be his position in this system we need a right back bombing on past him.

Yes looking like we need an attacking full back going past him...then Iwobi can drift inside centrally.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Yes looking like we need an attacking full back going past him...then Iwobi can drift inside centrally.

Also one that can pass the ball into him. Part of the fix in the second half was Gomes shifting to that side a lot. Forward passing is Seamus weakest attribute.

 

[little elfin]

He was the only one who tried to make things happen and not passed back at the very first opportunity lol

 

[Preki]

He certainly tried hard yesterday and I thought did his best in the Derby as well. Has to be a squad player at best if we are ever going to aim for the top 5 though.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Difficult first half, splendid second.

 

[Azza]

It was like a typical Arsenal Europa League match performance last night.
