but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
Play him centrally, confident that he can do a very solid job there.
I guess Ox came through at a time where fans liked the players more. Iwobi broke through at the height of fan / Wenger split... all that ' get out while you still can Joel' stuff.Iwobi has been better than Ox ever was for us but people have never bumlicked him like they did Ox. Wonder why that is?
Good point, I think he has confidence issues in this set up. He’s surrounded by big names like Özil and Mkhy who aren’t even setting an example to him anyway.don't sell a guy who actually cares for the club and has his qualities.
think hr would go a level up if we sell the deadwood, get right players in and promote some youngsters who will look at Iwobi as a big bro. That itself would help him get his confidence up surely
Don't think it's only that. Think his body positioing is kind of off, too. Often he'll just be in a bad body position in relation to where the ball comes from and how he receives it or where he needs to put the ball, limiting his decision making options even before the mental thing comes in.
If I'm a young player no way in hell am I going to be in awe of Mkhifuckingtaryan.Good point, I think he has confidence issues in this set up. He’s surrounded by big names like Özil and Mkhy who aren’t even setting an example to him anyway.
If some young players come in Iwobi can few more comfortable in the squad. Another help would to actually bring in a winger, because then he’d have less pressure on himself to drive the ball forward. Right now he’s our only player who can do that and I feel like he realises the pressure at times
His pass reception is probably one of the best parts of his game?
I think so too. He has great technical awareness. I don't know where criticism of that particular discipline comes from. People just trying too hard, I suspect.His pass reception is probably one of the best parts of his game?
20? That's optimisticLet's not mess around with the position of our only winger, shall we? He's a good rotation option on the wings but that's it. He won't be good enough to be a starter but he can produce 20ish good games in a season for sure.
He definitely did have a good start to the season. Problem is, at his age, we need something by now.He looked like he'd kicked on early part of last season--I'm sure people noted that at the time. He flattened out, starting showing the same deficits as in the previous season and that was what we were left with in the end. I could throw the term 'scapegoat' in there, like you see in other threads, but I know the true definition of the word so I'd be dishonest to myself if I said he was made one. Damn.
I know. It's do or Sunderland (die) now. Emery seems a fan though, so who knows? I fancy he'll be sub most of the time next season and he'll end up on the bench at somewhere like Valencia after that, unless he kicks on again.He definitely did have a good start to the season.
