“I like the fact that he can play in tight areas, that he turns the game forwards, that he’s very mobile.
We forget sometimes that Alex is still a very young player and that there’s a lot more to come from him. There must be a lot more to come from him because he has more personality in the game now.
“We expect him to be more efficient in the final third offensively, because you feel there are goals in there and assists too.
“They have to come out. Add that to the fact that he allows the team to play very well and he will be a top-class player.”
I like Iwobi, he’s probably one of the best 25 youngsters in world football

Used to? He still is till he does it on a consistent basis.
Great finish though. Thought he was great today!
At times yeah but he cost us in some big games last season going for precision instead of power. Today his finish was spot on
Excellent play, Good goal but a shot straight at the keeper shouldn’t be considered a good finish imo.

True.
Watching the replay in the pub I was shocked the keeper didn’t save it, it was literally just a bit above where his head was.

Hope this goal is gonna be a great confidence boost for him.
Nonsense, the keeper came out to cut down the angle and he hit it with power. The finish is fine.

Didn’t rate the finish either, but he gets in decent positions and I suppose they all count.
I really like his gun celebration.
P.S. It went in so good finish, Alex. 
Goals get lashed in like that by the likes of Aguero all the time and no one says anything about the finish. He took it well.

Yea can’t see the issue with the finish at all, he readjusted himself to ensure he got maximum power and he really gave the keeper no chance.

The finish was that of a Gunman

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the finish as such, it went in after all and was very well struck. Just when I saw it live I thought he had top cornered it but on the replay I saw it was fairly central, so it wasnt quite as good as I initially thought when it seemed unsaveable.

Any strikers on this forum? How are you taught to finish when you are one on one with a good keeper.
- In between the legs. tough to accomplish, but most difficult to save.
- curl far side
- hard directly over the head aiming for roof of the net
- low, hard near side
- lob if GK is close to the penalty spot.
Remember the GK generally keeps arms out to the side in a 1 v 1 with a striker.
It was a good finish. Hard over the head, no chance the GK brings his hands back up in time to stop the shot from that close.
Give the guy some credit. He had a few options, picked one and finished clinically.
