Everybody, but Gordon.Go on...
He is constantly pinching the ball back and taking on defenders. So much so they have to bring him down. Sure, he needs to improve and there is massive scope for improvement but by the time he's 23 I'm confident he will be a top player.What kind of threat? He doesnt score or assist much.
I think it's been so long since he we saw a player commit defenders over and over again, we've forgot how valuable it is.He is constantly pinching the ball back and taking on defenders.

This isn't an Anthony Gordon love in, I'm just baffled at how some people are slagging him when he has been a stand out player for us. His composure in front of goal will develop sure enough.
With better players around him making better runs it will open up more opportunities to shoot and play the killer pass. At the moment everything is being forced. You see that throughout the team, players trying to force the pass because there aren't better options. It's a lack of mobility in midfield really.I think it's been so long since he we saw a player commit defenders over and over again, we've forgot how valuable it is.
He's just had his breakthrough season and performed admirably. That much is clear.What kind of threat? He doesnt score or assist much.
I think it was what we brought Iwobi in to do. Then he spent years never being put in a position to do it.When he’s played in a three in midfield, it’s really shown up what our midfield has been missing for so long. Players that can carry the ball through the centre of the pitch and advance the ball. That and a bit of mobility and pace.
It’s been obvious for so long and you’ve got to wonder why we’ve not recruited to cover an obvious gap. We’ve had to get to the point of desperation to try to convert a forward. It’s pathetic our midfields a joke.
Fair play to Iwobi, did well towards the end of the season, be interesting to see what he does next year. Ultimately I’d probably sell if I could (along with every other midfielder) and get in an actual attacking midfielder, don’t think there’s many top ten teams he’d get a game in centre mid, passings not cute enough.

Not that I want to go back to the toxic wasteland that was his transfer thread but whatever the idea behind his signing was it felt clear at the time that he had these qualities. It is a shame we're still not fully seeing it.I must admit, I am very surprised Iwobi isnt more inked in in a 433 system. A natural attacking number 8 really.

I wouldn't trust him to find a blue shirt from kick off tbh.Terrible final ball even from a corner
There is a whole sea of idiots that don’t understand player development. They expect youngsters to be perfect from the start.He is constantly pinching the ball back and taking on defenders.
