Frankly couldn’t care less what he’s getting up to in his spare time. Do something constructive that he’s into, more power to him.

There are cases where outside interests take over from the football and the player takes his eye off the ball and performances dip - think fans can legitimately have an issue where that’s the case...thinking the likes of Beckham, Deli Alli and Jesse Lindgard.

Can’t really say whatever Iwobi gets up to in his personal life is affecting his game or he’s taken his eye off the ball. Just don’t think he’s that good, nothing to do with what he does on YouTube. Blasting him for pursuing his interests seems pointless, he’s allowed his own time.

I just think some time on the bench to refocus and take the pressure off will do Richarlison some good.

I’m not his biggest fan, but I don’t think he has had a poor spell as long the present,the only reason he is being selected is the shortage of forward players, he’ll play tomorrow night and hopefully help to get us into the quarter finals, that’s the reason he hasn’t been on the bench already, lack of quality front players, good job we’ve got Dominic.
 

Couldn't care less what he does in his spare time, kudos for him for putting himself out there given how toxic social media can be. He says he wants to be a positive influence for kids so what's wrong with that?
 
Trouble with Iwobi he is not a winger, not the conventional type anyway, cuts in far too early and very rarely puts a decent cross in... Plenty of other technical ability etc.

Blokes earning a kings ransom weekly whilst performing poorly in his high profile job yet he's flaunting his wealth on social media at a time us plebs are working our socks off for a pittance.

I had the same issue with Davies - arsing around playing fancy dress whilst doing nothing on the pitch. No coincidence since he's sacked off the catwalk he's actually looking a better player on the pitch in recent weeks - who would have thought putting more hours in the gym / on the training ground makes you a better player.

I don't think he's an anything really. He's one of a very long list of players who've made it to the top level by virtue of having natural ability but aren't actually particularly effective in any given role. His dribbling and ability to occasionally pick a difficult pass are the type of qualities that make him a theoretically high quality player, but his all round game makes it very difficult to find a place on the pitch for him.
 

So many sad acts on here. Young professional footballer decides to use some of his abundant lockdown time on creative activity and gets slagged off! Yeh, far better that he just does what you lot do - read GOT and watch porn. :)
 
This is what he said just one day ago in he papers:

"At the end of the day, we only have ourselves to blame, maybe we did take our foot off the gas. But every game I think from now on we'll have to give 100% if we want to get to where we want to get to."

LOL - the cheeky get. Is he even trying tonight?

Actually I think that's harsh by me. He probably is trying, but the talent just is severely lacking.
