Hmmm... sofri sofri chief!
The Iwobi we knew at Arsenal is not the same Iwobi at Everton. We all witnessed the fact that he was given loads of starts and he wasnt so impressive and quite frankly the manager has been fair in his faith in Iwobi. There is no time to be developing a player when there is much more to achieve. It is strictly Iwobi's responsibility to develop himself. If it takes extra hours of practice, less partying and more work on his passing accuracy and decision making... then thats what he outta do!


The fella that tweeted the stuff was just being sentimental (as a Nigerian of course) and I get it.

Take for instance, an area I see iwobi weak at is in his shooting. He shoots mostly with his side of the foot which ends up being tame (lacking venom). Almost like a pass. Whereas, it could be a lot more desireable if he learns to shoot in-step. And frankly when he gets into the goal area, these come in to play in his overall contribution to the team.

I hope he takes his chance when the time comes again.
We all saw what James Rodriguez brought in. His composure and tidiness. He didnt do too much with the ball and was highly effective. Thats all we ask.

There is an iota of truth in what you said. Now taking James as an example, do you expect him to give the same performance on the wing in a defensive set up.? The few time he played as the AM,Iwobi had good performances.

Danielnino00:
There's some truth to this...

I said something similar like this not long ago. Iwobi would have improve immensely with Arteta in charge but the useless Emery couldn't stop the transfer. And to think Iwobi was part of his tactical set up.

They are not on drugs, it's all kayfabe, they are not really like that in real life

ok. Never knew it was all part of the show.

pu7pl3 ..sorry bro...just want you to help clarify a baffling matter.
Are both Nakamura and Nikki cross on drugs ? Those two usually behave like yaba left patients every time.

Corbin:
Undertaker !!

Sorry but why carrying a knife around abi na dagger sef

Taye Taiwo (Rops > Doxa Katokopias)

search arsenal women on any social media

thanks man. I already got their fixtures on livescore..U18 inclusive.... I go dey follow them steady.

FA women's league
MD1 Arsenal 6 vs 1 Reading
MD2 west ham 1 vs 9 Arsenal.

O mehn ..this life nor balance o.

Chatbot1234:
The women team is doing wonders

Pls how can I follow them? Even if it's only their scores.

Philosopher1979:
Grassroots football is working in Nigeria. Academies youth competitions etc. It is a silent revolution nobody is noticing

Of course, that was what we have been praying for but the main issue now is how to utilize them. At this rate,there are some players that may never feature for the national team irrespective of their performance. Take for instance, Aribo ,Nwakali, Oliseh then you have Tijani, Muazzam,Lesley,Ejaria fighting for a single spot.
That is some serious headache there my brother.

kokaneprodigy:
Those that coined that word have abandoned the thread, they just allowed Spy lead them astray, they don’t know that Spy gat thick skin that even Kpomo would envy.

. Lolz

BlueRayDick:
Make Emery no.just come Lagos mainland. I Don give boys money in advance to stab his buccal cavity anytime he's sighted

Abeg forgive and forget. make we move on but that coach eh..he literarily turns all our players to bunch of cowards.

iamoyindamola:
Set awon ero ilota

iamoyindamola:
They should release him or something Until he reach 50 years

Dude sef suppose move since.

iamoyindamola:
Martinez transfer to villa is accepted
15m plus 5m add on
Raya coming for medical on Monday

And the tradition continues . We always lose our FA cup Goalkeeper to another club. Fab .. Sczesny...Ospina ....and now Martinez.

iamoyindamola:
26 Wtf

I was just as surprised as you are. Was thinking 21 or so.

Roland17:
Na this one me I no kon understand. You would expect that he would transition to the number 2 but here we are going out to get a back up..

And the guy tall o 6'7 fah. We are currently blessed with goalkeepers. Illiev and Arthur sef dey.

Spy360:
You mean he could be. Leno is a very good keeper and a preferable choice. Emi will be leaving on a high, but it will be difficult to displace Leno. He served well and patiently. I'd wished he stayed one more season but who knows.

Well..it's OK. Just that Martinez oozes more confidence.

Kbs468:
� "You were away for all of last season. How much has the club changed in that time?"

❤️ Honesty from @ElNennY after #FULARS �

Honesty from the true Egyptian king.

“We feel like we are more aggressive, like everyone just wants to give 100 per cent. This was what we missed in Arsenal, because at Arsenal we always loved to play football but we didn't care [enough] about giving 100 per cent.”

Even we the fans sef feel confident going into every match.

#Artetaeffects.

this time last year, We were still on project grinding machine.

TheSuperNerd:
Thank you Sir Mostob. Always a pleasure.

Honestly we got players even as far as India.

na wa o. This is a big headache. The only way I think we can utilize them is if CAF can add additional tournaments like Nation's league..age grade inclusive.

BascoVanVeli:
What!! I didn't hear that ooo. That should never happen abeg

He played as a CB in their last pre season match.

TheSuperNerd:
Another Nigerian in Bundesliga 2

21 yrs old forward, Dickson Abiama got the Perfect debut today as he bagged a brace for his new side, Bundesliga 2 side, SpVgg Greuther Furth as they defeated Meinerzhagen 6-1 in the first round of the German Cup (DFB Pokal).

He made the leap from German fifth tier.

God bless you bro for the constant updates. Weldone bro.
BTW where are all those kids popping up? Ha ha naija players just full everywhere.

Danielnino00:
They are a combination of Norwich and wolves abeg....
They will beat some of this top 6 teams...trust me...

No be say I dey brag o bit before they can beat arsenal, dem go play,dem go tire.

Roland17:
Martinez deserves better than being called that name. The man came through for us and deserves to be starting for a team in any elite league, including the EPL. He is 28 and at this age, goalkeepers need to have established themselves and that is what he has done to deserve the good hype he is getting.

I remember saying last season that the conversation about who should be our no 1 was legitimate and a tough one that most want to avoid. I wish him all the best.

You're right. He should have been our number 1 this season but our coaching crews know best.

BlueRayDick:
I don't agree with the tag "coward" ó.

Everybody knows Leno will not be benched for him except Leno drops series of disaster class performance over Time ( which is quite unlikely).

I wish him well anywhere he goes Jàre.

Actually, the 'coward' label came from fans on arseblog, justarsenal who feels he is too scared to fight for his place. Anyway, he is gone, less headache for Arteta.
BTW, is Macey so bad? dude is 26 already

BascoVanVeli:
Under Puel Ndidi was taking steps towards being a complete midfielder but I feel Rodgers has stunted his growth. I want him to take on more creative responsibilities on the pitch. Right now he just passes to his nearest man. He is still a great midfielder but I feel that creativity is what will make him world class.

They are about to convert him to CB. E be like another mikel situation will happen

BlueRayDick:
That means Martinez is gone

Yea..sadly, the 'coward' is gone

Kbs468:
David Raya is currently at #LondonColney undergoing a medical for a £10 million move from Brentford. £7.5 mill basic fee with £2.5 million in add ons. 4 + 1 year deal.

The same source said "I've been informed that Sokratis, Matteo Guendouzi & Lucas Torreira are off to Napoli, Real Betis & Torino for a combined fee of £63 million" �

Raya? The name sef look somehow. I know some people no like Guen but that guy shouldn't be sold. maybe a loan sha

Subzero047:
If he couldn't do it at Championship what makes you think he can do it in the Premier league?

You have a point sha but make we dey look.

I know I should move on but Emery really goof big time by not making Iwobi stays. Watching how much the arsenal players have all improved, I'm sure Iwobi too will have learn one thing or the other.
I know he needs to work hard at Everton but Arteta would have been a better coach for him than Carlos

Omanambala:
Iwobi hs vision ? Since when ?

You're not really different from komekn make we talk true.

Subzero047:
He doesn’t have the vision and subtlety Iwobi has, he's just a jambody weight-lifter who found himself playing AM

From the day I saw him against Cardiff in the playoffs I knew he got little to offer

Well, I will give him time sha ...but the way komekn dey hype am eh ,
BTW I still saw a bit of championship in Fulham gameplay.
