Inconsistent but he is working his socks off to improve. Chambo could learn a couple of things..

Campbell has been inconsistent in a short period Ox has been inconsistent in a longer period. For me, going forward, Ox has to come back third fiddle to Ramsey and Campbell.
It is a shame but at some point potential has to turn into performances and consistency.

I think it's the opposite with Ox. He has the fundamentals to be a great player; great speed, strength, dribbling and shooting. But lacks that edge to impose himself on games at this level.
His passing isn't a strong point. He's never really shown the ability to link with, or pick out others as Campbell did tonight. His movement is also poor as he doesn't find himself in goalscoring positions often enough to showcase his shooting ability.
He's got the tools in him but is severely lacking in some areas which are preventing him from showcasing his talent. Of course he's still young and learning but at the moment I think Campbell can really put it up to him as I have said before.
Ramsey is the obvious first choice and can do a job out there but he's really a central player. Hopefully Campbell can build on this and give the boss something to think about.

Much better tonight from him.

Well that's a different conversation. But the premise is the same. A CM player is keeping out three more natural wide players. For a manager that shows faith in players should it now be a worry that two or three players are being pushed out and what do those players need to do? Out of them all Joel has had the least time to prove himself.
I still don't find him a solution but think he deserves more time to prove himself, not that my opinion means **** in the grand scheme of things but the Ox should be worried. He has no right to come back to a place.

Ox's a good athlete,

I'm happy with his performance. Lovely assist and he finally showed that he is indeed pretty fast!
What I love about him is that he has a great vision for the game. He's always had a killer reverse pass on him and links up in attack nicely. Also weights passes well in general.
He's not perfect but I really feel his potential is very high. I hope Wenger rates him like I do and he starts him ahead of Ramsey in the next game (on the right).

He had a pretty good game tonight, albeit against fairly poor opposition. Hopefully he'll take some confidence from that and start performing at a higher standard more frequently now.

His attributes are great - no doubt - also better than cambells - with fundamentals I meant playing wise - positioning, defending, composure, passing etc.
then he got some amazing traits like his ability to take a man on and can be very direct
Campbell is pretty much just a worse version of Ramsey, a player who is great at nothing but good at most things (his wonder season not included)

Call me a cynical git, but I always think there's an ulterior motive--probably linked to avoiding having to spend--when he says that about players in Joels apparent precarious position at the club.

He's nothing like Ramsey. He's more agile, faster and a better dribbler. He's a forward, Ramsey's a midfielder.

Don't take offence ffs!
I only asked 'what'? and laughed, because you wrote this:
What does that mean? Even if it's a term, the sentence doesn't make sense.

Best game in an Arsenal shirt IMO. Nice platform for him to build on.

I didn't take offense, I just couldn't come up with something clever on the fly so... I just thought more nonsense might solve the problem.
I make up **** now and then, just means he's back and forth all the time, keep looking left and right.
I'm super chill, ain't got no costume yet though.
He did very well tonight. That pass to Alexis was brilliant. Can he keep it up? Is the question.
