Iwobi has all the attributes to be a top class player. Think he will be a Major Star at this years AFCON!

[@Davidwv97]

Besides shooting and crossing and vision

[@simonq7]

@@Davidwv97 I agree he does need to chip in more with goals & assists. This season he seems to have matured a bit more as a player. I expect him to fully push on now and show how good he is.

Besides Stamin, pace, shooting and crossing...

[@maxkho00]

@@Davidwv97 His vision is excellent when he looks up. Literally best-in-team-level excellent. Just that a lot of the time he is asked to just run at opponents, so producing clever passes isn't his role a lot of the time.

what are you talking about. he is so untalented. he dribbles like he is being electrocuted and doesnt know what to do.

He can rinse anyone one on one. Saw him rinse Trent Arnold, wan bissaka( not many wingers can take him on). He really good at protecting the ball and he almost can’t get pushed

[@trentwille]

i don’t get why every doesn’t like this guy, he has a great character and he’s a really good player

[@ReadingBetweenTheHeadlines]

He's actually quite underrated. Dude has got skilllllls. Would take him at Chelsea, or better yet, on my youtube show hahahaha

[@nyquilnu2221]

He has honestly improved leaps and bounds. Confidence, running with the ball, tracking back etc. Fans are just peeve at the amount of chances he doesn't take or create after getting in good positions.They see a guy running on the left wing and expect Pires-like finishing. He's still young and can improve in that department.

[@ReadingBetweenTheHeadlines]

@@nyquilnu2221 People have no patience for quality to shine through. Not everyone is Messi. Not everyone is going to be the best from day one. Some people need time to improve. They aren't robots!

[@brandonvilla8281]

Iwobi is such an interesting player... Can be so good and so bad at the same time.. He has improved and I hope he keeps getting better!

[@SameeK]

if Iwobi was white and English, fans wouldn't hate on him so much. Wilshere's stats were terrible yet people loved him throughout, its a joke.

[@Squidward-jv7go]

Different type of player. When Wilshere was young he won young player of the year and was in the team of the year despite not scoring or assisting much at all. You say people loved him throughout, I’m pretty sure fans were losing patience with him him his final few seasons. I’m not hating on Iwobi but if we’re honest for every brilliant thing he does he will do something equally daft. But potential is there definitely Stop bringing race into unrelated things

[@MrHappyclappy123]

Wilshere lived off of the memory of incredible early performances. Bringing race into is pathetic. As if that held back any of Arsenals previous black players from being loved.

[@04foreverinvincible69]

Jack wilshere is world class when fit

[@dinadaa1897]

Dude, we let Gnabry go and kept Iwobinho. Look at the output of both players. Stat wise Gnabry is killin it. If only Iwobi works on his finishing then surely the fans will love him. Now "race" that.

[@attiqrahman9462]

Iwobi is a good player but needs to improve his decision making on the pitch

[@BAghz00]

Such a nice young man, he doesn’t deserve the disrespect he gets.

[@EsBeeQue]

Top bloke. Keep working hard because you deserved more with the Arsenal.

[@Leo-S-Ellen]

I love this guy he gets so muh unnecessary hate and people have so much of an agender over him his only 22 and apart from his finishing which I believe he will improve on. He is really skilled and is always giving his max unlike alot of our players

[@atobs7999]

Iwobi and okocha Nigerian legends

[@Squidward-jv7go]

Iwobi can improve massively and his play can sometimes be very annoying, but the guy does not deserve the hate he gets. He’s capable of a touch of brilliance and man is never getting pushed off the ball. He needs Arsenal fan’s support
