Unai Emery was impressed with Alex Iwobi’s performance in Saturday’s 2-1 win at Huddersfield Town, but he still thinks the Nigerian has room for improvement.<\/p>\n

Iwobi scored the opening goal at the John Smith’s Stadium, his volley deflecting in off Terence Kongolo following a left-wing cross from Sead Kolasinac.<\/p>\n

It was his third Premier League goal of the season, matching his total for last term despite making seven fewer starts.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old looked particularly bright at the start of the campaign and appeared to have adapted well to Emery’s system following the departure of Arsene Wenger.<\/p>\n

His form had tailed off before Saturday’s victory, but Emery knows where Iwobi can improve and believes the attacker has the right attitude.<\/p>\n

“He’s young, makes a big commitment and he has a good physical condition,” Emery said post-match.<\/p>\n

“He needs to improve something tactically, maybe, but above all he’s calm with the ball in the attacking third [in order] to find better assists, finding the possibility to score with composure, or find the best option, whether that is shooting or dribbling.<\/p>\n

“He scored [on Saturday], got another very good chance and the possibility to assist [Alexandre] Lacazette, but I think his match \u2013 first starting with his attitude \u2013 was very big, and his performance was very good.”<\/p>\n

Arsenal have lost three of their last seven games in the Premier League, with Liverpool, West Ham and Manchester City all defeating them.<\/p>\n

As such, questions have been raised over Emery’s tactics and the team’s adaptation to them, but the coach insists it is a process that does not have a specific end point.<\/p>\n

“Each training, each match is a big a challenge,” Emery added. “You can win, lose, draw, but the most important thing is going ahead thinking about creating \u2013 little by little \u2013 an identity, collective spirit, team feeling.<\/p>\n

“This is one process. It’s not finishing or starting now. It’s a process, we can improve a lot.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
