This is the major reason why some of these players decline playing for Nigeria.

Though I don't really fancy his kind of football as it looks too casual for my liking, the coach takes the blame here for not using him properly. Left for me, I'd play him from the bench, not as a starter because African football is kinda energy sapping. And to further complicate things, the yeye SE coach is playing ancient kick & follow football that requires players with pace and stamina which Iwobi isn't exactly built for. #Peisero outta SE!

If a host can reach final, it shows they really prepared not only to Host the tornament but to win it.

They did not come that far to lose.

They played their heart out from start to end.

The coach was the one and ONLY problem the Nigerian team had.
How can you go to the continental tournament with these array of stars and still be playing NEGATIVE football?
When other African teams should be scared of Super Eagles , the reverse was the case.
Hope the coach is gone for good.
I was never his admirer

Iwobi is a good player. He played out of position because we have a terrible coach. If you don’t sweat you can’t play the terrible tactics by the coach.

That fake coach should be sacked. If he had played 4-2-1-3 Iwobi would have moved freely why Yusuf and Onyeka would have held the midfield then Osimhen would have received enough support from his other two players up front. Nobody should blame Iwobi for he’s not a defensive midfielder.

This is so unfair. People like Iwobi Play for country out of patriotism not money. He deserves a pat on the back for his effort. People wey no sabi anything about football dey expect cup but we wey sabi small know say anything above quarter-final was a plus for the current crop of players.

He didnt play out of patriotism.

If England calls him, you think he would still come over to represent Nigeria ?

He has got no chance with the three lions, hence the reason he chose as another option.

Don't be the reason another man's child will be pushed into depression.. People should be nice. The loss hurts us all, stop attacking Alex Iwobi, he is just a boy trying to do his job. SOme of you abusing him cannot even get things done at your place of work. And you are attacking him for not playing well.

The coach isn't terrible.

He took Nigeria to the final.

Nigerians seem to think they deserve everything good in life.

Too bad, why are people like this? The sacrifices he has made and makes for his country, none of the online miscreats can.

I hope he realises that this is a situation where the noisy minority (a la Obidients) are causing the problem.

They should free the guy. Nigerian social media space has been so toxic since late 2022.

Iwobi was shit for most of the tournament. Fans complained, TV pundits did too, but the coach kept playing him.

We lost the midfield game yesterday so the attack couldn't master any counter as nobody fed them. Osimhen had zero shot on target.

CIV winning the AFCON is not the bone of contention here. That our boys didn't even give them a fight or even a fright is what is cranking most of us up. It's like they just cowardly allowed themselves to be beaten by the Ivorians without any meaningful retaliation. It's was so shameful. That coach & his ancient football pattern has to go

He should not be in that team again, he has served and served diligently, the shoe is bigger than him, we need a play maker a forward thinking player a more skilled player and goal getter. Iwobi is non of these.

Pls I don't want to see him on that squad again, OKOCHA I HOPE YOU HEAR ME.

As far as I am concerned, iwobi is an idiot with zero ball sense.

The only thing he's good at is dribbling himself with his useless and nonsense leg over skills

Nonsense angry

Na you when be Arsenal fan dey talk like this

When Iwobi used to Play with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil around 2016,
Was he a Bad player? undecided

The simple reason he underperformed in this AFCON is because Peseirro played him too deep in the Midfield. sad

Iwobi is NOT even a midfielder.

He played as Left Winger during the Days of Arsene Wenger. smiley

Nobody should even try to come for Osimhen, Football na team game, if the coach set up a midfield that is diconnected from Osimhen, what will Osimhen do....the coach takes the blame all day, wrong personnel cost us that game, Simon on the bench for chukwueze, Iwobi not getting subbed for Yusuf early enough. Giving the boys instructions to scuk the pressure instead of going out, CIV midfielders just strolled

watch the build up to the 1st goal (or maybe it was the 2nd i cant remember), it was Iwobi that failed to collect a simple pass (he just stood still) that then led to their attack. Players lose the ball all the time, thats not the problem, it was his lack of awareness, and his inaction, his sloppiness, he froze!

that said i do not endorse the abuse he is receiving causing him to delete his account or his posts.
