I was never a doubter of Iwobi’s ability. I think people naturally exaggerate when people are in form or stinking the place out.
But he always showed qualities, even under Ancelotti, and versatility.
Even when he came here, when Bernard was here, he always showed similar qualities to the Brazilian, the ability to drift inside from the left, link up and buzz about the pitch. The ability to receive the ball under pressure and have the strength, which is an underrated quality of Iwobi’s (he’s physically strong) to hold off opposition players.
But end product/goal return is so important and he just wasn’t that guy.
But I must say, even as someone who didn’t completely doubt him, I thought his days where numbered. Once the fans turn on you it’s a tough road ahead.
Good on him for fighting through all that. And he’s looking good in the CM role. A real athlete too. Keep it up!
