You decided to jump in the conversation and as usual and start with the insults. I didn't quote you or even mention Ozil. But something touched a nerve and your emotions always seem to get the better of you.
Don't live up to the stereotype, my man. Stop the loose talk on the net because I don't respect. If I'm chatting shit, mind your business and keep it moving without the meltdowns.

That's not to say that they cant do better than what they are, they can.
I have never booed an Arsenal player and I have never hoped or wished for an Arsenal player to play poorly. Even when I wanted Wenger Out and was very passionate about that I never wanted the team to lose. But im not going to sit here and say a sub standard player is something that he is not.
When we had the mediocre dross at Highbury after George Graham lost his touch, I still went to games every week and cheered the team, even when we didn't expect to win.
Iwobi has been a first team regular since 2015, he is not a rookie.

So if that means selling his ass to bring in a player that is better, then by all means please do. So in that sense I don't think some fans saying sell him is a crazy idea (also some of those saying this is a bit knee jerk I'd imagine). Yes we should also give players a chance like we give managers, but there is a difference in that as well. Some managers need time to infuse their style and system, and get the right players, but players are different, and you should be able to see huge potential by 22, if they're going to be a top player. He hasn't shown that yet, he's only shown tiny glimpses of being an ok player. Having said that, yes i realize some players develop later than others, so it's possible he could turn into a world beater, but not very likely or realistic. I don't personally think we should sell him now, but if we had to for some reason in order to get in a better player, then I'd pack his bags for him.
Yes he does work hard and run his little head off each game, and that seems to be what Emery likes more so than raw talent, at least right now anyway.
That's still kind of missing my point. Where do you stand on Emery as manager because ultimately, this is the managers decision? Why is it that Iwobi starts every week over other squad members? Why wasn't this identified as a weak area in the summer? How comes we brought in an unfit player that can't take Iwobi's position during the January window? If you don't see Iwobi's potential, could it be possible that Emery sees something you don't? Or is Emery off his rocker and misjudging his ability and potential?
Over the past few months we could have started Ramsey or Ozil in Iwobi's position. We've had internal options. During the summer, Emery decided to let certain a few players go that could have played that role. We've had options and still have options today.
So surely, if you're annoyed by the team selection, shouldn't you also question Emery's judgement?
I agree that we don't really have any other options for the wing. Ramsey isn't a winger, nor is Ozil, I don't know if playing them in those positions would be better than Iwobi right now or not. I thought we needed a winger over the summer and even in January, but obviously we didn't get one. As far as Emery, I am still behind him and think he still needs more time before we decide if we need another manager or not. I don't agree with everything he's done or with all his selections and formations, but I'm hoping once he gets the players he wants we will see more consistency all around. I for sure could be misjudging Iwobi. As we all could be. I'm not totally convinced the Emery rates him highly, I kind of think that he's just stuck with him and chooses him because with limited options he thinks Iwobi right now is best for that spot. However, I personally think that Emery knows he needs better in that position. Which probably means he doesn't see him as a long term option unless he massively improves. Obviously that is all just speculation.
