Arsenal signed off for the latest international break with a lucky draw against Wolves to extend their unbeaten run to 16 and their winless run to 3.
3. Iwobi is rubbish on the right
Alex Iwobi is no good on the right, even Unai Emery admits that but he spent a lot of the first half much more centrally. His first run through the middle was effective and should have resulted in an in-direct free in the box (at least) when he was blatantly obstructed. Stuart Atwell waved play on.
His passing, however, was horrendous. At least three times he tried to play what seemed a simple pass to Bellerin on the wing only to pass it straight to the defender. He was hooked at halftime and nobody had any complaints.
Despite being replaced at halftime, he wasn’t the worst-rated Arsenal player. Four players got a lower score than Iwobi – Bellerin, Kolasinac, Xhaka, and Aubameyang.
