Oxlade-Chamberlain

He needs more and more coaching, he seems to attempt to dribble when there is nobody around to cover the space behind him, don't dribble into trouble when the full back is already ahead of you.

Can't fathom why he is always jogging back too, this is a guy with serious pace! Can't believe that Ozil was working harder defensively than Ox and even Sanchez today. :shock:

Nice finish but the guy is an absolute liability at times - loses possession so many times when we've committed 7 or 8 players forward. He must start most of the opposition's attacks !

Graeme Souness has called out Chamberlain's 'seriousness'. Good call I think, he always seems to be laughing and joking, and dancing in the tunnels. He also seems very passive about sitting on the bench and never once have I heard of him complain about playing time or position. It shows a desire. FFS even Theo fights for his playing time and wanting to play central. But the Ox says nothing.

I like Souness as a pundit. The only one willing to say anything remotely controversial. He will happily call out the likes of Henry for spouting the usual populist drivel.

He is spot on about Ox and every time I've seen him talk on Arsenal he has been spot on.

You mean like ambling along side and admiring Harry Arter while he takes that dipping shot?

Hasn't developed under this regime.In fact the 'British core' has regressed or stagnated.

Was delighted to see Ox score and I'm praying it might give him a boost and get him on the right path. Worryingly, the goal was just about all he did right for the whole game.... :|

Needs to do so much more to fulfil his potential - could be a decent player if he could find some consistancy

Can you imagine GG, diego simeone or even souness himself managing this lot ? They wouldn't know what hit them as they literally get kicked out of that nice comfortable bubble they all live in :lol: :lol:

if the OX had a better coach then he could be a better player.
with Wenger in charge then he wont be - look at how Walcott has progressed in the last decade.
