Can everyone now stop being horrible about poor Theo?

[Sir C]

He's going to tear Chelsea to pieces.

Iwobi really is quite the talent, isn't he?

Both did well on saturday to be fair. Any mean comments would in this case be inappropriate.

[IUFG]

he did leave poor, old Nacho woefully exposed against Elmohamady and Snodgrass a few times

Watching MOTD, I was amazed they didn't bother taking the time to point out just how bloody good he's getting. He's monstrous big and strong, quick, excellent on the ball, clearly reads the game beautifully and isn't afraid of a shot. He is the most exciting home-grown prospect of ours I've seen for years.

Mind you, what do I know?

MotD wouldn't be interested in him because he's not England's next Great Hope.

Remember when Serge Gnabry had a little run in the team? For 2 or 3 games he looked like Messi, then he sort of... disappeared.

True, but Iwobi's had a long enough run to suggest he's no flash in the pan, though. I'm counting no chickens, mind.

Here are some of the things which could stop him becoming a world class player:

1. One injury
2. One coke habit
3. Any number of women
4. The Emirates crowd destroying his confidence

I'd say 2 and 4 are the greatest dangers.

Oddly enough 1 and 3 did for me. And drink, which would clearly be number 5.

Out of interest, can anyone think of a single player who's confidence was destroyed by the Emirates crowd? Or even Highbury's, for that matter?

If a player's confidence is 'destroyed' by the crowd I'd suggest that they never had the *******s needed to be a professional footballer in the first place.

The thing is, he's a homegrown (albeit technically Nigerian) talent. You'd think he'd get the free ride someone like Wilshere does on the back of that.
