Alex Oxlade Chamberlain

Post by Wengerball »

Surely this guy should be looking at a promotion to the bench at the least?

Hes the only one that seems to have any sort of direct threat. Fast, skillful on the ball,not afraid to take on his man and crucially- not afraid to have a shot!!!!

After tonights showing and his impressive form to date I reckon he deserves a bit more game time.

I mean he could be a much better option to bring on than Arshavin in tight matches.

The kid is an amazing talent. Gave their full back hell especially in the second half. And that pass with the outside of his foot to Crapmuck was outrageous, anyone else catch it?

I think he will play when van Persie gets injured as that will be when Walcott goes upfront (hunch not fact) or when Gervinho goes off to the ACN, I doubt he will be waiting much longer.

The boy is looking good. Not sure we should be waiting for an injury to RVP or the ANC.... He looks ready to me now!

I hope he goes on to make it, but I was underwhelmed.

Yep, maybe just compared to the as is now customary "over-hype" that all us sane people have to put up with.

:lol: :wink:

Oxlade-Chamberlain is the player that Walcott could only ever dream of being.

Wenger needs to make the switch ASAP.

Good going forward, powerful and a strong shot.

I would be happy to see him on the first team bench.

But he is long way from the finished article, and has still to learn about tracking back and some positioning.

Comparisons with Walcott are not straightforward, whilst they sometimes play in the same position, they are a different style of player.

To be fair it's only recently that theo has been good on the defensive side and he's been given plenty of games to 'learn the ropes' as has Denilson, Song and Diaby so why not Chamberlin?

Yes he is.But he is doing stuff Walcott could only dream of doing and Walcott has been 6 years at the club.Given a run he will overtake Walcott within a year
