oga no talk this one here o. When Suarez siddon adapt to epl tempo you can start to say what he offers on the "epl table" is more than what iwobi offers. Thats my take on this o.


Epl is diff even if this guy was at man city years back, this was his official debut.

edi287:

Forget Emery...dude himself doesn't like or know how to manage big players. Iwobi isn't leaving anytime soon anyway so all this talk is just pointless.
Sad thing is I don't see much of a difference between now and last season. This isn't what Wenger was sacked for...

edi287:

Iwobi is a better ball carrier imo while Suarez is more technically gifted.
Arsenal just wasted their time in this transfer window. At the end of the day - Iwobi is still the only one that can drive into the opposition's box.

Earthquake1:


By 'plastic' you mean sincere and realistic? We have passed the stage of 'Iheanacho had a decent game'

krattoss:
I have recently come to conclusion that ndidi is currently the best super Eagles player worldwide.

daveP:
God bless you for this.


I am not defending iwobi, but lets be sincere, he and kola on that left wing have created 80% of the chances that were converted as goals. Remove these two from arsenal and you would have a championship team with two world class strikers that touch the ball less than 10times in 90mins. the whole arsenal midfield are waste.

"Fulani/hausa bully everybody"...."We igbos would rather die like a man and live like a coward"....
You are a slowpoke. We need another Operation python on your dumb ass...you in particular should be made to drink gutter water filled up with feces and urine.
We dare you IPOB comedians to get your Biafra by force since una dey form superman...we all know the best you'll do is call Yoruba cowards and go crying to Niger/Delta folks to help.
IPOB peeps are clowns.
IPOB peeps are the most disgraceful set of igbos
IPOB peeps are the ones I see their asses whooped in Hilbrow for being a disgrace
IPOB peeps are the ones I see play houseboy to the Yakuza in Japan
IPOB folks are the ones that are getting 100 year prison sentences for being dumb yahoo boys
IPOB do not represent Igbos. You do not speak for all Igbo folks.
Now run before Buhari orders another Operation Python on your asses.. that's the only good thing he's done in 4 years.
Last time I'm going to reply your nonsense. You're not welcomed here. Take your delusions of grandeur and go Bleep yourself in the politics sections. Keep crying about hausa/fulani while we talk football on here. Clown.

TheGoodJoe:


Thank you. Also, did anyone notice that as soon as Iwobi left the field, David Silva had acres of space to cause damage. It was just that we did not take our chances.

People are tagging Iwobi as poor but there was something which he did well. His work rate was high and he helped the defence a lot.

I do not think it was a case of Iwobi being poor but Manchester City having a phenomenal game. They were brilliant today.

The cry for Ozil and Ramsey is another misconception. These guys can not play with the kind of intensity Emery wants. Apart from Toreira and Guendozi, Iwobi was the person I noticed on the Arsenal side put phenomenal work rate.

Apart from Toreira and Guendozi, the whole team looked average. I think that is enough sign to cut Iwobi some slack.

Finally, Dennis Suarez could not cause much damage too.

Iwobi wasn't poor because Man city had a phenomenal game

What logic!!

Earthquake1:


If I was a Gabon fan I would be harping on Aubameyang for having a poor game, this is not about talking down on players, this is about saying the truth

.. I'm going straight to goal.com

Alex Iwobi underwhelms as Manchester City defeat Arsenal

The winger's carelessness helped to have his side a goal down after just 48 seconds at the Etihad

Manchester City delivered a commanding performance to defeat Arsenal 3-1 in Sunday's Premier League encounter, and more worrying was Alex Iwobi's performance.

After coming off the bench to influence the Gunners' win over Cardiff City in their last league outing, Unai Emery restored the Nigeria international into his starting line-up, playing on the right wing in the attack of a 3-4-3 formation.

City were expected to dominate proceeding and more defending and discipline would have been required of Emery's attacking trio, but Iwobi's input in the rearguard was all but assured.

The 22-year-old was dispossessed by Aymeric Laporte on the edge of the box - as Arsenal sought to clear their lines - before the ball was worked to Aguero who converted with a diving header.

10 minutes later, against the run of play, captain Laurent Koscielny restored Arsenal's pride, heading off a corner kick.

Pep Guardiola's side went into the break with a lead, though, as Aguero scored off a well-worked move from the right side of the visitors' defence.

The Argentine claimed his hat-trick after the restart, with the majority of the work coming off Arsenal's overexploited right wing.

Iwobi - who won only 27.3% of his duels - also failed to inspire any confidence in Arsenal's attack, registering no shot and attempted just 18 passes

TheGoodJoe:


How many percentage duels did Lacazette win or it is only Iwobi that played today? What of Aubameyang?

Earthquake1:


I am focused on Iwobi as a SE fan, I careless what Lacazette does on the pitch

TheGoodJoe:




This was what I stated. No one is saying Iwobi was brilliant. Definitely not me. What I am pointing out was that sometimes you praise the other team.

There was nothing Aubameyang, Iwobi or Lacazette could do. Manchester City were on the whole team like a swarm of bees.

Finito.

Earthquake1:


Mancity were brilliant today, yes

But Iwobi was sloppy and poor with his play

Mickael2:


Man City was absolutely not outstanding today. It was a casual performance from then, a decent team would have beaten them today

TheGoodJoe:


That is why I am pointing out to you that Iwobi was not the only poor player today but the whole team. That was because Manchester City had a phenomenal performance and were on point today.

The point is too simple. You are free to focus on Iwobi and miss the big picture.

TheGoodJoe:

TheGoodJoe:


That is definitely not true today. Arsenal is far from a decent team. A team does not choose to have a casual game. Arsenal were casual because of the brilliant play of City.

We have been more impressive than Liverpool in two games this season. Are you saying Liverpool were casual too?

Mickael2:


The talk isn't about Iwobi's game today alone. Let me ask you a honest question, do you see Iwobi making Man City's bench when everybody is fit?

TheGoodJoe:


Lacazette was sloppy and poor today. Aubameyang was sloppy and poor today. Heck. Dennis Suarez came in and was poor today. Ramsey came in and was poor today.

When Iwobi went out, Silva had acres of space to cause damage today.

Mickael2:


Not exactly sure why you are bringing in the game against Liverpool because I never made mention of it, way way off the mark.

Today was definitely not one of City's better games, everybody saw that perfectly well, except you just because you want to support Iwobi, funny.

TheGoodJoe:


Lacazette was sloppy and poor today. Aubameyang was sloppy and poor today. Heck. Dennis Suarez came in and was poor today. Ramsey came in and was poor today.

Earthquake1:


What are you saying sef?

Are you trying to blur reality?

TheGoodJoe:


Dennis Suarez could not make Manchester City's bench. Heck, I doubt Lacazette, Toreira, Guendozi, Xhaka, Ozil, Ramsey, Kolasinac and others will start for City. Most will not make bench. So what is the point?

Curtisaxel7:


A Northern Muslim bigot unleashed state terror on your tribesmen and you come here to support it. An Igbo hating Fulani tags IPOB which has never killed a single person a terrorist organization and you're defending him. You must not be an IPOB member but the least you can do is to keep your filthy mouth shut and talk about what you know.

Shame on you. Your ancestors are ashamed of you. Shame on you again. You are no brother of mine.

TheGoodJoe:


The reality is that apart from Leno, Guendozi and Toreira, most Arsenal players were poor. Sometimes you just praise the other team for a brilliant performance.
