Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

[johnsusername]

Six months, fuck sake. The lad's had some bad luck there.

[niallers]

It was said that he did his cruciate, medial AND one of his hamstrings came off the bone! Fuck me, that's rough

[TheBitch]

fucking fat fingers, I was trying to neg you for being a cunt.

 

It's OK, I got you.

He’s an alright sort, is Ox

[Josef Svejk]

That's great...

[TheHowieLama]

Jay must be chuffed that the old man carries a 4 year old around to every game -- #Thanks Dad

 

Pure quality from Slade here

[Shitty Arse]

Out for the whole season now apparently according to Klopp

[suzy]

Such a shame for Ox, but apparently this was known almost as soon as it happened. At least he’s mentally prepared. Gutted for him

[Numero Veinticinco]

A real shame for him and for the team. We always knew he was a bit of a sick note but this injury is a real bastard.

[aRdja]

“The ECHO understands that he damaged his posterior cruciate ligament and his anterior cruciate ligament, as well as medial ligaments”

 

I’m no expert but that sounds career ending. I really feel for him. He became our best midfielder after a slow start.

[Lee909]

Not really

Adrian Peterson tore his ACL and MCL and not only returned 8 months later but returned as the leagues best player in one of the greatest statistical season ever.

[suzy]

I like what Klopp said about Ox being a ‘good lad’ and really important to have round Melwood. Who wouldn’t want to play for Klopp?

[Captain Turdseye]

Wage thief.

 

Will upgrade to oxygen thief when he breaks down three games into his return.

 

He’ll be widely accepted as an unflushable turd by January 2020.

It's a real shame the injury was so severe, and sadly came at a time when he was really beginning to show consistently what he was capable of. Klopp challenges his players with targets like number of goals and assists, which coupled with his preferred style of play makes everyone look like they're bloodthirsty to attack. I think he would have been asking Ox to try and crack 10 goals for the season which is something the player has never done, yet something he clearly has the tools to accomplish. Now the 2018/19 season is a write-off for Ox.

Hopefully he will get a sub appearance in the Champions' League Final with us 3-0 up, a couple of sub appearances in our final Premier League matches with the Title already wrapped up with four matches left to play and a subs appearance in the FA Cup Final when already 4-1 up late in the second half. He won't be able to play sadly in the League Cup Final as that victory will come too soon for him.

[Jennings]

Feel sorry for the luck he had here. He was really beginning to shine as a player and as a character.

Shooter knows

Terrible news - had really warmed to the lad.

 

Seems a very long time and if it as said and he misses all this coming season then effectively he probably won't play a competitive game for us for about 16 months.

 

Sadly i think it is the end of his career here.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Why would it be the end of his career at the club?

[an tha]

Why would it be the end of his career at the club?

Because in a side who's style is very much about intensity and running a player who misses 16 months of competitive first team football is going to find it very, very hard to come back and be up to the levels required....it is a big ask made even bigger by the demands playing how we play bring...there aren't many players who miss that kind of amount of football at the very top level who come back at the level a very top club need them to be at.

 

I hope I am wrong and he comes back and is boss and I am a fan of the lad - but I stand by what i said.

[Shitty Arse]

I just hope if doesn’t end up turning into a Danny Ings scenario for the poor lad. Such a fucker as he was really proving the doubters wrong in the second half of the season. Me included.

[VladimirIlyich]

We do have a knack with signing players and turning them into cripples don't we?

[Grinch]

It's wise to stay away from inconsistent injury prone players.  Hopefully a lesson learnt albeit a very expensive one.

 

He's done as a footballer.  The only useful asset he had is never going to be the same now.

He was a cripple long before we gave Arsenal 40M for him:
