He's inconsistent...But that is seen as hating on here.

The team tends to drift away from him once he does something good. I saw that against Liverpool and also today. They need to get him on the ball as much as possible to fully utilize him. His assist was sexier than Beyoncé btw

The problem lies with you. He is doing well yet you still criticize him for his choice of players.

Hw are you sure he would have won those matches with Silva? A coach knows the players that suits his playing pattern better than we do.


If you are not being sentimental you won't hate a coach who has been doing well and even going as far as telling us how he won't make Europa.


Bro am not talking about nacho here am talking about football okay ,not everything is about nacho

Why won't he win those matches with Silva ? A proven central midfielders,if puel can win matches with hamza choudoury who is from their youth team then he will win matches with experience Silva

I never say I hated the coach,why will I hate a coach who have been giving our players chances ,even if I do hate the coach I am better than you who hate your fellow Nigeria players for no reason

Mind you choudoury is from their youth team and today games make his Epl appearance 3 ,I am criticizing puel for freezing a player out for no reason,go and check Leicester mecury website and see fans complaining whats happening with Silva some stating it's a personal issue .

Yeah It happens sometimes.Emery's style is 'get the ball as quick as possible to either Auba or Lacazette'. Still - his decision making isn't as consistent as it was when he first broke through. He needs to calm down sometimes... I remember back when Alexis was around - the only two people he liked passing to the most was Ozil and Iwobi. Ozil too likes combining with him.

Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze is leaving the door open to a move to England.

While a target for Atletico Madrid, Chukwueze is also being linked with Arsenal and Everton.

"I have a contract with Villarreal that ends in the summer and the club knows what to do. I can confirm that there are some clubs interested - the best English teams, but for Atlético Madrid I'm not sure, really," he said.

"Then, we'll just keep our fingers crossed and see what happens. For now, the focus is still for me to help the club."

Ehn...so his contract with Villarreal is that short... With his current form,I doubt if they will let him go for free in June...

But I hope he thinks well before securing a move to the EPL... especially those mid table teams...

We tend to overlook Iwobi's shortcomings more than Nacho's. Maybe because Iwobi is FB, maybe because he is Okocha's cousin, maybe because he is supposed to be the team's "poster boy".

But to be brutally honest with ourselves, dude is quite average too.

It's horrifying really.

Iwobi FB?

Will Arsenal fans ever fully appreciate Alex Iwobi?

Date published: Tuesday 1st January 2019 5:32


Even as Alex Iwobi represented the only discernible difference between Arsenal and Fulham on Tuesday, the critics would not be silenced. The end product of a winger with more assists than the excellent James Maddison this season was questioned; the development of a player with fewer than 150 first-team games was mocked.

A first half in which the Nigerian was by far the most dangerous, most effective and most impressive player was merely the exception that proved the rule. Iwobi’s assist for Granit Xhaka’s opener, his clever flick to help set up the Swiss again and his sumptuous near-post cross for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s header: each was an example of his inconsistency rather than his intelligence.

Opinions have long been formed on Iwobi, the sort which can only be confirmed but never refuted. As easily as his excellent first half was forgotten, a more wasteful and frustrating second stuck in the memory of many fans. His hold-up play, awareness and skill played a crucial role in Alexandre Lacazette’s goal, but did you see that slightly overhit pass for Sead Kolasinac in the 76th minute? Not good enough; never will be.

He has certainly gone off the boil a bit in the second half but at times it seems like in the area of the Emirates where I sit Iwobi can do no right. I'm not really sure what some fans expect from him.
— James Benge (@jamesbenge) January 1, 2019

His partnership with Kolasinac down the left-hand side was the key to victory over a Fulham side who had Arsenal’s defence against the ropes at times. Iwobi, as the only capable dribbler behind the two strikers, was integral in stretching the Cottagers. Yet a handful of sloppy passes after half-time were used as sticks to beat him with. In truth, he simply dropped a little closer to the standard of his teammates.

For a player who thrives on self-belief, it must be increasingly exasperating. Before this season, much of Arsenal’s squad only ever knew the influence and coaching of one manager. Arsene Wenger is one of the sport’s greatest ever minds, but so many players were bound to benefit from a different perspective, a fresh outlook.

The problem was that the squad was never really given a universal clean slate. Many appreciated that certain players would improve under a different manager and a different system, but some were simply considered beyond help. At the age of just 22, Iwobi somehow fell into that bracket: he wasn’t good enough for Wenger’s Arsenal, so what would change under Unai Emery?

“I’m more positive and more confident with the ball,” Iwobi reflected upon his self-improvements in October. “The boss has basically told me that if something doesn’t work, just keep going and don’t dwell on it.

“He’s told me to stop being so critical and to just keep trying no matter what happens, no matter if things don’t go as I want them to.”

Emery might come across as a more authoritative, disciplinarian figure than his predecessor, the more expressive football aficionado. But a different voice has been crucial. The Spaniard might not put an arm around his players, but he encourages them in his own way. To remind them that perfection is not attainable has clearly made a difference.

But some sections of the Arsenal fanbase – as with any team – do not make the same allowances for mistakes. Iwobi was thankfully applauded for his contribution by the home fans when he was substituted with seven minutes remaining; so many others chose to focus on the negatives.

Perhaps that is because the positives were less obvious to the naked eye. He had the fewest touches (24) of any Arsenal player in the first half, yet created the most chances (3). Such quiet efficiency will never please everyone.

While Emery is one of the majority who can appreciate what Iwobi offers, that will not be a problem. His detractors will one day accept and embrace what he is and could be, rather than bemoan what he isn’t.
