Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Less Ox, More Snake

[hydrofluoric acid]

Another thing that worries me is the guy stamina. After every power/sprint play he does he is heavy breathing. Now I may be over reading the situation but Ox do tend to go hiding in most of his games.

I think he's improved in that regard as of late, but there's no question he had poor fitness in seasons gone by. I remember Wenger saying in an interview when Ox first joined we used to weigh him daily, he has quite a bulky build.

Absolutely. It is very rare for someone with that level of bulk to make it as a top pro. Ross Barkley is also extraordinarily bulky.

 

[Rocky]

Feel it would be a huge mistake. Its hard to shift these bang average players on big Arsenal money. We have a history of being stuck with them until the end... Ridiculous amount leave on frees or when the contract ends compared to other clubs.

When I said sign a new deal somewhere, I think there's a very good chance he'll leave next summer for a transfer fee. I can't see Arsenal ever loaning him out now. It's make or break.

 

[Garrincha]

A few more big moments off the bench & hopefully we crack 20m in January or the summer.

My boy

People constantly waxing lyrical about no hopers while this guy gets all the stick. One of the few players in our squad who has the ability to make something out of nothing.

He doesn't do it nearly enough though.

He does have the ability and he's certainly not sh*t, but he's unreliable. I'm very happy with his impact and I hope - again - that he can build upon this with some more sustained and consistent performances.

Ox has been good this season, props for that.

Wingers are always unreliable though. Easy to forget how much stick even one as good as Giggs used to get back in the day.

Been a huge jump in his productivity (9 goals/assists already this season) and he's working harder than ever before. Not been his biggest fan in the past but I'm beginning to love the guy.

I've always been a fan of Ox to be fair. I'm pleased that his output has improved. I just think he needs to get out of his head a little bit. He telegraphs too much. So much ability, just needs the confidence and he will explode.

 

[MaraDon]

confidence.

 

[krackpot]

the way he effortlessly beat his player and put in a delicious cross...awesome.

he may have been low on confidence, but there were never any doubts with his dribbling and crossing.

 

[Impact]

It has been painfully obvious that Chamberlain is not a combination player and is instead a player that excels in one-on-one situations for some time. If we simplify his game by creating opportunities for him to utilise his maverick capabilities, we'll reap the benefits. That's what we have been seeing this season.

You mean like Giroud?

 

[celestis]

That was a big moment from the Ox , he had one chance to deliver and he did .

 

[Furious]

Our new RB hopefully. Don't want to see Jenkinson.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Good dribble and cross that what ox should do not make things complicated for himself

 

[arsmile]

yeah...maybe he's a RB

 

[Nyctophobia]

Are we really considering him for RB now?

That's pretty funny!

 

[razörist]

Beautifull cross. Left Rashford for dead.
