The Oxlade-Chamberlain / Joel Campbell thread

Qwiss

Unless he's been worrying about it for the last few years I doubt it.

Ox just needs to simplify his game. Start getting the basics right and stop trying force some magic moment. The rest will follow once he starts getting the general shape of his game back into a groove. Right now he's too frantic in everything he does.

mohan

He just needs games. The decision making will come with that.. I have high hopes for this kid

Kel Varnsen

Think fans have far too high expectations. He's just not a very good player.

Sicario

I think he plays like he is scared to get injured again. As a result this impacts his usefulness on the pitch.

In what way? He's never been one for tackling and he is always taking people on, maybe too much.

I think he tries to do everything at 100 mph at the moment. When it comes off it looks brilliant. When it doesn't, he looks like Townsend.

Ramsey went through a similar phase before he went on that scoring run. He needs to calm down a little and just get the basics right. Performances will follow.

Ox off from a nothing. Last thing he needs at all.

Gazza M

Just a precaution apparently. Bit of tightness and nothing more

est

He was already feeling it before kick-off. Why did he even start/wasn't Theo ready to replace him when he went off?

Reeks of stupidity and unprofessionalism.

HomeSteak

The guy can't catch a break.

Meatwad

you create your own breaks. seems he created his own problem.

22 Premier League games without a goal or an assist for Oxlade-Chamberlain. Just one assist to show in the last 34.

Does Ox realise he's playing for his Arsenal career? He's not at the required standard and hasn't been for ages—seems almost any forward move involving him breaks down.

He's been really bad. He has talent but he's never really shown much intelligence out there. Straight-line dribbling, smashed crosses to nobody. But let's see what he looks like when he gets some confidence.

dreamlord

I thought he was decent against Bournemouth. He also had some moments today. But overall it was a pretty disastrous day from him.

Ray

He doesn't seem to know what he's doing when he has the ball, if he could get a clearer picture then he wouldn't be wasting his talents. In contrast Campbell has better vision than him.

Qwiss

He needs to play himself outnof this funk but i dont want to keep seeing him try it here. Id love if we signed a winger and sent Ox on loan somewhere hed play every week.

TomasCR

He should definitely be better by now having been at Arsenal for 5 years now. Not efficinet enough with the pace and power he has.

Hoped he could be our Barkley a while back, just not technically good enough for any role.

Segway

Used to think the idea of loaning him out was ludicrous. After this season it seems the only viable option. Wenger can't keep giving him chances without him paying back in any way.

Klaus

My gut feeling is that we're gonna get a class winger in the summer, whether it's Isco or someone else, and it'll mean Campbell gets shoved out the door while Chamberlain stays here for another season as main backup on the flanks. The six months until the summer window is the time he has left to prove that he's worth the time and effort. I think he'll get there. This season was always about two things: staying off injuries and getting games under his belt.

Shady

You can count on one hand the number of good games he's had in the last two seasons.

If we had a proper squad, we could, and should have loaned him out ages ago.
