he's awful. his passing and decision making is atrocious, only overshadowed by Maitland Niles.
His pace and direct running is his main attribute but far too often nothing comes of it. Similar to the Ox in a way but without the same crossing ability.

You could coach Iwobi for a million years with the best coach. he will never score a gaol like that.
anyway we get starters like xhaka and iwobi b/c sadly the guys behind them are pubbers

He can turn a man, carry defenders and be the start of an attack, he's strong but he shouldn't be the one on the end of attacks trying to finish the move off or play the killer ball. He's not consistent enough. Has a similar playing style to Jack Wilshere. Develop him as a CM/AM because he doesn't have the goal scoring instinct at all and it won't come under this sort of atmosphere where there is so much pressure.

Jack drew oppo players in and played great passes. Iwobi has absolutely no idea what he’s going to do other than perhaps best a player or two and then see what the options are. Quality player v headless chicken!

Put it this way.
He's one of the better performers currently but that's because we've dropped a level, even on this form he'd of struggled to get into the team 2 years ago.
We had Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Walcott, Sanchez.
Iwobi wouldn't of been first choice.
Our strikers have got better but our midfield hasn't, Torreia is the only improvement.
If Iwobi is our level now then kiss goodbye to top 4 permanently.

I'm talking about his future development. I'm not really talking about his current performances. We can all acknowledge he's inconsistent, struggling and has his fair share of critics. But he's also a tidy dribbler, good control and one of the few internal players that could make a difference to our midfield.
Funny how you guys are reluctant to analyse Emery's record and performances but have no problem piling it on to a 22 year old player that came through our youth system and just needs a little guidance and support. We're not talking about a full fledged experienced veteran. The criticism for young players should be constructive. He needs to be taken out of the firing line.
