Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Player Thread (M)

I thought he was good the other night too.

Some stray passes, but most players have some stray passes in every game.

To some people a player will have to be perfect otherwise he didn't have a good game, but Ox has come along nicely the past few games as he's gotten more consistent time. He had a quote recently saying (paraphrasing) "i'm getting my rhythm back and there's more to come", which is good news.

He plays a style of game that no one in our midfield really does except for Keita where he drives and runs with the ball at defenders so it would be great to get him back to full form. I am still unsure whether he can rediscover his pre-injury form and think he's still a depth player more than a regular starter, but a really nice one to have.

I believe his contract expires at the end of this season and does not look like it will be renewed.

Agreed.

Its longest period he has stayed fit for years, long may it continue, as klopp will play him when he is on top form he is a real threat.

I thought he was probably leaving in the summer, but you never know if he stays fit for the whole season and contributes he may well get an extension, but then again he may decide to leave and be 1st choice elsewhere.

Agree, he’s going to get playing time now, due to a small injury crises with our midfield. I also believe if he takes the “bull by the horn” and brings his 2017/2018 form back, he may see a contract extension.

I really hope he does.

DEFO.

sh*t myself when he went down holding the knee area.

Much better game from him, let's hope he kicks on. Have a felling he will score a screamer versus West Ham this weekend.

2023 it expires.

2023 it expires.

Another 18 months of him missing passes and being out of position. Yay. I miss Naby

he just hasnt captured the form he had before his injury so he needs to go  in January. One of the problems Shankly had was he was too loyal to older players . I understand Jürgen gets a lot from his players because of th eloyalty he shows to them but I think we need a clear out

Maybe just me but it was good to see him going at players and going past them - just needs to find a better ball at the end of the run

He did that in midweek but I only recall it once today.

Far too inconsistent for me and if there was anyway of moving him out and getting someone else in January I'd be for it, the issue is the homegrown rule

A fully fit midfield and he is somewhere near the last choice so not surprising the midfield opens up for the opposition like the Red Sea parting when he plays.

I didn’t think he was too bad today a few misplaced passes but came looking for the ball and was always looking to move it forward.

1 of the 3 culpable for the second as they should have taken Bowen out.

Far too careless on the ball again.

I actually thought he brought more energy to us then most.

Very unlucky to be taken off for me....was the pick of our midfield. Hendo was a mess and Fab had one of those games he has where everything looks like such hard work.....

Yep, he was hardly to blame. Fab looked like Fab after a layoff (go figure) and I thought Henderson was actually very poor yesterday. And when Thiago came on, he also looked like a player shaking off rust (again, go figure) so unfortunately in spite of our 8 midfielders or whatever we started the season with....we once again seemed to have injured our way into a bit of a crisis.

Best game for us in a long long time.

Pressing, pace, goal threat.

This Chamberlain I can definitely get along with and the blend with the three yesterday is exactly what we need in CM.

funny how we can have different perspectives I thought Hendo brought calm  and great cover and Fab worked his socks off.

He was excellent- he is the one midfielder who prefers to run with the ball , taking players on and having a pot shot. You can see he is feeling his way to getting some rhythm

I think he has struggled to get back to his very best i.e the goal against City and now he has adjusted his game accordingly and it is a bonus that he is now another part of the puzzle for us and can do a great job when asked

Real bright spark yesterday, his energy was infectious hope he gets a lengthy injury free run to really prove his worth to the team.

Yup teriffic again.

My man played his off the other day. Damn good game from the Ox
