Keep it up man!!! We are proud of you.
Let’s see what some disrespectful Arsenal fans will say now.
Good for him, though, he missed a couple of chances. I think, he really needs to work on his finishing abilities. It would’ve been a different story if those chances were all that was needed to kill of a crucial game.
We are proud of you iwobi..
Good one iwobi
This is a good reply to Iwobi’s critics and a good way to repay the coach for his trust.
I said it last week that he would bounce back and he did. Good job!
IWOBI OF Nigeria is a great player for Club & Country any day.
