Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

[VladimirIlyich]

Judging players by pre season performances is very unreliable. While I do think OC is likely to get his fair share of injuries,I am not writing him,or anybody else off because of performances in meaningless friendlies. To prove how meaningless they are,I've never seen Klopp so expressionless and emotionless during these games. I am betting that changes come Sunday.

HARD agree

The biggest positive for is he still looks lightning quick, he’s been erratic but he always was playing wide. Probably start him on Sunday in front 3 with bobby and mo.

The lad is starting to look good again. It sometimes takes time to get back into the groove after such a lengthy lay off due to a nasty injury, despite being match fit. Hopefully he kicks on from here, he certainly gives us better options for certain games and he's a goal threat. Lovely lad as well. 

[Strontium]

He offers a goalscoring threat from midfield. I like him a lot and would be tempted to start him on Sunday.

[aws]

Getting better and better. I read comments from some medical expert a few months ago saying he wouldn't recover full flexibility and strength after his injury for at least another year.

real unexpected bonus seeing the Ox now coming into form. probably our best midfield finisher. a nice problem for Klopp to have and like others have said, great kid with a great attitude. got a big part to play this season if he can stay fit because you can see the hunger is definitely there. the long lay-off has seen to that

[Dr Nowt]

Whether it’s from the start or off the bench for the last half an hour or so, which I suspect is far more likely after a more attritional first period of the match, a great weapon to use against them on Sunday.

[Elite]

I said in the match thread I hope this run of scoring form isn't just a purple patch, as he's never been known for scoring a lot of goals (Could be down to the position he played at Arsenal) but if he could become a consistent 10+ a season man, it be pretty awesome for us.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I hope he stays fit and he can be a huge asset, even a starter.

If he chips in with half of that and a couple are important goals it would be plenty in his role. For me if he was this seasons Shaqiri and was able to turn a couple big games coming off the bench - nice.

He's in a better position and style of play here than he was at Arsenal. If he stays fit there's every chance he'll produce.

[El Rojo]

I always believed he had the makings of a varsity athlete.

[LF:D]

Remind me of Luis Garcia.

 

Not in the style, as they're very different players.

 

But Luis Garcia would be very frustrating to watch and then BOOM - a moment of brilliance.

 

Ox has been like that for me this season.  Sloppy passing, poor first touches & trying too hard at times.

 

However he's producing game winning moments and I'd be starting him vs City.  If ever there's a team that suits Ox - it's City as they won't park the bus - they'll be space & he can exploit it as he has in the past.

He's better than Emre Can is some respects. In others he's not as good as Emre Can. 

 

I don't expect this to be helpful at all but I'm pretty sure it's true

I genuinely forgot about Shaqiri...

Shaqiri is a closer comparison to Garcia, I'd say.

Well Emre’s definitely got better hair so there’s that

Alex seems quicker with his hands and eyes than Emre. Alex would win.
