Arsenal beat Watford 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday as they picked up just their second win in six Premier League matches, but Gunners fans were quick to destroy Alex Iwobi for his display in the 67 minutes he played before being substituted by Danny Wellbeck.
The 21-year-old, who the fans had lost patience with following his showing against Brighton, returned to the starting line-up against the Hornets having been an unused substitute in the 2-0 win against AC Milan at the San Siro last Thursday night, but he didn’t impress the Emirates Stadium faithful with his display.
Iwobi struggled to make an impact in the final third for Arsene Wenger’s men, with his final product often leaving a lot to be desired.
Arsenal supporters were quick to have their say on the Nigeria international’s performance via social media, and while one said “Iwobi is having a nightmare”, another said “get him off the pitch”.

James O’Connor @Jay_OConnor10: I need a greater football mind than my own explain to me what Alex Iwobi actually contributes to this team. I cannot fathom how such an average player gets start after start. Perhaps, he is sirred by Wenger. His decision making, shooting, crossing and link up play are all so wayward.
