It's common in football .. At times if Messi is giving too much problem on a wing... Couch may give a signal of 2 or 3 people on him which automatically changes any formation u may be playing

Only more experienced and professionals like the captain may give his team mates what moves is.

Alex is a very young player and if u watch that match again he is not in position to exchange for ozil but the couch felt ozil isn't making impact and needed a force that's why he exchanged with alex

England and racism if it was an English player that said that they would look other way and see it as being funny

Subs do not go into the dressing room at half time so won´t know what discussion took place in there. If the manager or his assistants cant give clear instructions to the subs going in, then they should be to blame and not the player. Any footballer will tell you this.

Am surprised at people going after Iwobi for this. if you want to attack him for under-performing, that´s a diff issue.

Sleekfingers:


22years is still a boy? When he go become man? Maybe when he is 50years

Exactly. Mbappe is younger o.

I hope Iwobi doesn't go the way of Iheanacho. Dumped in a tier 2 club and not even getting regular playing time.

Very bad of him, wasn't he briefed before entering the fray? he came in to change something. He shouldn't have forgotten that. BTW, nice goal there saw it on the group platform some weeks back. I'm seriously looking for a very competitive competition to play in. Got any one?

Currently searching for one as well.. Everywhere just dry..

Really? But he was great during Asene wenger huh? Rubbish supporters.

Ignore those stupid supporters, all they know how to do is shout goooaal when their team scores or insult their players when they don't do well.

Is it not the coach or assistant that will tell sub player the formation or tactics to use so he can tell those on field?

The white supporters are even dumb.

Gunners never hv good eyes! If u don’t want Iwobi me want am!

Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi appeared confused over the formation Arsenal were playing against Brighton as he replaced Mesut Ozil at half-time.

The 22-year-old midfielder replaced Ozil in midfield at half-time and the Nigerian international was captured on television cameras asking team-mate Granit  Xhaka what formations Arsenal were playing.

He appeared to ask Xhaka: “What formation are we playing.”

Arsenal went on to draw the game as the league’s top goal scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring before Jurgen Locadia equalised.

Fans on social media had a field day on the back of the exchange between the two Gunners stars, with one tweeting: "Iwobi didn't even know what formation Arsenal were playing."

How will that change the scoreline now?

Why are they hating Alex Iwobi? For what Ozil plays these days, Alex is better than him.

#this guy haba were u nt in de training#

So asking the formation now made him to be receiving these much insults from poor Nairaland poo isn't

In life it's a true talk when you are poor you are mad. Because if it's not poverty stinking heads on NL so for him just asking his mate what is on now deserve these much abuse? And he is in London, driving exotic cars, making his family proud, a celebrity, the little boy will balls, and our national team player and you poor bollock with NO human relevant abusing him.

Truly when you are poor you are mad.

That is very likely to happen...

Iwobi appears not up to scratch...His days in Arsenal looks numbered.

He lacks creativity which is at the core of Arsenal identity...

I don't think so, he should have watched the game on the bench.

He's synonymous to the dullard from (daura) Sudan epitome of confusion


Quote me and die untimely

Atleast his not dishonest daydreamer like Atiku who can only be president of his village.

Chei! Finally!, village pipu!!
