Sounds best suited for that position really! No better player to learn from too in Özil... Reckon he can play elsewhere in the team though? On the wings or deeper in midfield even?

Doesn't appreciate the mighty Nacho
I thought it was a penalty at the time. Still feel that way.
I don't normally condone cheating but even if it wasn't, I still rate him for trying it. People often say we play too nice and they're right. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Me too. There is more where Iwobi came from, definitely.
Honestly I'm so happy to see him doing this well. He looked fearless, composed and he actually took risks out there today that didn't always come off but that he tried them anyway really impressed me.
I think he could and should start the rest of our games.

He doesn't want your **** pics, k?
Woops, deleted my comment because he answered me (10 minutes later though which is weird). Now yours looks out of place :confused:
For context to others, I said that I sent Iwobi a snapchat and that he ignored me
... I'm making steps to get into the club. Really though, I'm just genuinely curious how some of our players are really like, obviously they often put on an act for the media. I've never actually met a player before.

Very content with him as backup for Özil.
This kid is special, been a long time since we've seen composure, first touch and maturity in a mix like this. To me that's more important for a 10 than moments of brilliance that most breakthrough talents display.

Brilliant.
Created 3 or 4 great chances for Welbz and Alexis with really cute passes, and there was a back heel for özil which didn't come off but that was an incredible piece of vision to even see it.
Should start for the rest of the season, Joel Campbells stock is high but iwobi has so much more to his game.

He is much better than he is given credit for initially. It is so refreshing to see someone who can run with the ball at pace and don't lose it with a bad touch. He looked like he is always in control of the ball and have the intelligence to pass and move to correct positions.

There was a thread about players we've met a while back.
I once met the mighty JET himself, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. He was in a McDonalds in the queue and gave us his autograph. Wouldn't let me and my mates get a picture with him though because he wasn't supposed to be in there

You know how it is with kids his age though, for every promising performance there will be one that shows their naivety. It's too soon to throw him into the first team.

Class talent. Should've earned his spot with the team for next season.

I just hope that one of Iwobi, Adelaide, Gnabry, Zelalem, Akpom or Maitland-Niles will actually become a top player and be a key figure at Arsenal. It's a long way to go.

I think his decisionmaking needs some improvement, but Arsenal don't do tactics, so I doubt it will happen.

Quite on the contrary I think decision-making is one of his strongest assets.

He'd start if it were down to me, he's just what we need, young and fresh. The more playing time now will only bode well for next season.
