Alex Iwobi: Big 17 No Safety

[say yes]

That was a blatant dive. Hopefully he won't do it anymore because I will go ****ing ballistic. There is nothing I hate more in football than seeing grown men going down like flies. He had a good game though.

100% not a dive. You can see that he clips his own heel after knocking against Mascherano's shin.

Accidental contact by Mascherano but should have been a pen.

 

[say yes]

Can see the knock here:


Very slight but causes Iwobi to clip his own heel, watch his feet:


Again - 100% not a dive and if that was up the other end you can bet the ref would have awarded the penalty.

He's really good, he just need that one goal and he must be a serious consideration for a place in the first eleven. Perhaps I rate him too much, but what the hell! He has shown time and time again that he's capable of doing high quality stuff.

I rate the **** out of him!!!

 

[tap-in]

Forget whether it was a penalty or not. This lad deserves to start for the rest of the season. I have not been completely convinced recently but seeing him against the best team in the world makes me think that if he plays now until the end of the season, we will have a better player than Walcott, Ox, Welbeck and Campbell, going into next season.

Clear penalty.
Poor Ref.
Idiotic ppl on here saying he dived, why you lot even allowed to post?

 

[Highbury Rock City]

About that penalty situation, he just go tangled up in his own legs, I'd guess that every Arsenal player have or will do that at least once

Someone plz analyse it in slow motion, impossible that he does the motion to hit his own leg without any other contact.

 

[TakeChillPill]

Wonderful footballer...Nice to finally see an English (Nigerian) footballer at arsenal who uses his brain and is not a headless chicken.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I don't think that was dive he just tackled himself there and he thought Mescherano tackled him poor alex.

 

[RandyMarsh]

Amazing what he did tonight. Starting away at the Nou Camp after only a handful of starts for us in the F.A Cup -and to play the way he did.

Might not be the most gifted teenager out there but he certainly looks the part. Hopefully we see some end product from him soon as he gets more games.

Well of course, there might have been some minimal contact, but who cares really? The one things that's certain tough, is that if the same thing would have hapened to a Barca player... Well, there would have been a penalty fo shoo.

Did ANY of you fools who claim there was no contact watch the scene? Imo it is not possible his legs move like that at this speed without any other influence.

1. I agree.
2. It is unbearable what kind of bullshit you have to read on here, it is like ppl talking about how they have been kidnapped by Aliens...

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

The point is, this was never a dive. Ok?

 

[Highbury Rock City]

Eh, c'mon, man! If we can't get over this and just having a laugh, can we ever then?

1. I agree.

Hopefully this will act as motivation for some of the other young players on the edges of the first team squad.

Yeah agree. Dive all the time. Hard.

Where is this guys best position? CAM?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Yes i think CAM is his best position he is very creative passer and his first touch is good too calm under pressure he not afraid to tackle use his body very well.

 

[Proof]

Yes i think CAM is his best position he is very creative passes and his first touch is good too.

He could learn a lot from Jay-Jay Okocha.
