Alex Iwobi: Big 17 No Safety

[Balance is key]

You don't have to go that far :
- Jeff dummies KDB => OMG the new Pires is tall, black, and plays for Arsenal.
- Zel makes an assit in preseason => OMG the new Fabregas
- Akpom scores a hat-trick in U21 => OMG the new Henry
We really overyhype our kids, and I actually like that with our fans.

its not just our kids we overrate though, on the flip side a player off form gets crucified - Think I prefer a little more nuance than **** or worldclass when judging players

How is that overhyping el Jeffe? He looks like a mixture of zidane and pires but with double the output. That's not a stretch at all, I think he'll win the ballon d'orr in a year or three and leave us for real madrid in two.

Nigeria failed to qualify to the african cup, that's good news. I'm taking the benefits of a whole nation in disappointment

edit: Sorry Nigeria

It's a shame but I guess it's for the best. Don't want to disrupt him halfway through his 45 goal season.

 

[BBF]

He should have chosen England if he wanted disappointments.

The Ballon d'or ceremony takes place in January as well, he needs to be there to collect his award.

We actually saw this coming when we drew with Tanzania so no big deal. We still have a long way to go football management wise.
Elneny will be at the AFCON though. So we have to hope Coquelin isn't injured around same time

On a brighter note, Iwobi will be at the Olympics with our U23 team. Really looking forward to that one as we have some bright talents in the team

I wish Nigeria good luck, always been one of my favourite African national teams!

Who? Just out of curiosity.

Who? Just out of curiosity.

Isn't like more than half of the Nigeria senior team like super young? Only guys I can think of are Iwobi, Iheanacho, there's that guy from Lazio, Ozina or something. Is Musa from CSKA eligible? He was super young at VVV Venlo. Do they allow for an exception or two to the u23 rule?

Who? Just out of curiosity.

Iwobi, Iheanacho, Success, Imoh Ezekiel, Osimhen and some of the guys from the last U17.
The team beat the Brazil U23 team a few days ago in a friendly though I can't say Brazil played their full strength (we didn't play with our full strength too).

Onazi is 23. I don't think he's in the team though. I'll wait to see what the coach decides to do. Same with Musa. Those two have featured in the senior team for so long they are almost like veterans I'd rather give the other guys a chance especially the guys from the U17 and U21 squad

 

[SuperGoon]

Two goals in two starts.


And Chamberlain still deserves to be in the squad? lol. He's had one hundred appearancess, seven goals. Seven.

Six appearances by Iwobi. Two goals.


But keep telling me Chamberlain deserves to be here.

Ox had 2 goals in his first 5 PL games too.

Iwobi looks great though, hope people don't turn on him when his form inevitably dips.

I honestly don't remember Ox coming into the team.

 

[Coolin]

Great first half. Decent second.

Once he improves his fitness to the point where he can be effective over the full 90, he'll be deadly.

 

[Nyctophobia]

Wants to score and assist constantly, what's there not to love?

 

[Hunta]

Wilshere, Bellerin, Coquelin, Iwobi.

We'll have a first eleven of Arsenal products soon.

 

[GDeep™]

****ing hell can't praise Iwobi without bashing an injured Ox.

Some of you are so off putting it's unbelievable.
