Where could he possibly appear? Nearly back to a full squad available and the team are getting results. Only two things to play for now so it will nigh on impossible for him to much game time.

Ox is a down to the bare bones player. When everyone's fit he's nowhere near.

The fact we were in the position of starting him several PL games in a row after the World Cup was a big part of the problem.

Nunez and Diaz if both out might get him back on the bench on Tuesday.

So has Curtis Jones. What's happened to them both?

Both have been spotted in a North Pole pub having drinks with Santa.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #5204 on:** May 18, 2023, 05:07:23 pm »

Obviously him leaving is the right call for both the club and him but do feel sorry for him. He exceeded most of our expectations in that first season I think, he really was at the heart of a lot of things we did well, especially those three wins over City. That Roma injury was devastating for him.

Still came back well and scored a few in the title wining season. Even last year, when Mo and Saudi were away he filled in up front and scored a few when we needed them. Shame how things have petered out this season but he’s always come across as a really decent bloke and good luck to him for the future.

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #5205 on:** May 18, 2023, 05:22:04 pm »

He's seems a different person from that bright, happy, big personality that he was in 2018. Seemed like a big personality in the squad but you don't hear or see much of him now. He looks like someone who's fallen out of love with the game and I hope something good comes his way.

Will be interesting to see where he goes from here. No club in England is taking him on his current wages so he'll need to take a cut you'd imagine.

Or maybe he'll retire.

tubby · « **Reply #5206 on:** May 18, 2023, 05:27:22 pm »

I can't imagine he'd want to move abroad but I think he still has enough pace and power about him that he'd really trouble the more languid continental leagues. Expect he'll end up at somewhere lower midtable over here though.

Hazell · « **Reply #5207 on:** May 18, 2023, 06:47:59 pm »

Prob harsh to say this, but when he got together with that lass from little mix I was worried … brings a circus into a footballers life when they need to be concentrated on football.

Injuries were hard on the chap and he was a great man in the squad. All disappeared into nothingness. All a bit sad really.

His problem was his knee exploding, not dating Perrie Edwards.

Our doctor at the time told Ox it was as bad an injury as it gets.

Only when the partner actually brings drama and the footballer allows for the drama. She’s pretty incredible and comes across extremely grounded as does Ox so it was never gonna happen

Yeah I think it's forgotten but he played a fairly decent role in the league winning year. 12th most starts and minutes surprised me when I checked it. the injury he got before 21/22 seemed to finish him even as a reliable squad option though

Yeah, I always thought he was something of the '12th man' when we won the league so 12th most starts/minutes doesn't actually surprise me.

As for last season, look at how far we got into all four competitions, winning two and being very lucky in the others, but throughout the season we had contributions from Ox, Keita, Minamino, Divock in attack/midfield which goes a long way in taking you to that level of quality and consistency.

Intrigued to see where is next for Oxlade Chamberlain. His trophy record is nothing to be sniffed at, with what he's won here and the three FA Cups he picked up with Arsenal. I just wish he'd have been able to take part in some of the Champions League games in 2018/19, that injury was killer.

lobsterboy · « **Reply #5217 on:** May 19, 2023, 02:09:25 pm »

Sad that he never fulfilled his promise with us because of injuries but he gave us some great memories, including against The Cheats and he collected a decent trophy haul, better than he would ever have got with Arsenal!
Chapeau Alex!

Lot of highlights despite his long injury lay offs. That goal against City, of course, but a particular highlight for me was a non-game moment when he stood up to a gobshite reporter and defended - I think it was Coutinho? Firm and articulate and impressive. At the time I thought this lad could be a future captain here.

Alas not to be. But thanks Ox. All the best to you and your family

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #5222 on:** May 20, 2023, 08:27:18 pm »

I felt really sad for Alex today especially with the interview he did with LFCTV when he spoke about his memories, and how he wasn't quite able to live up to his original form. It must be really hard when injury deprives you of getting back to where you once where. I will remember him for the positive achievements he earned with Liverpool, like that brilliant goal against the Cheats in the Champions League. I wish him luck with his next move. At least he leaves with success.

Chakan · « **Reply #5223 on:** May 20, 2023, 08:28:42 pm »

The intense "thump" of that goal was really symbolic because, for me, it announced to the world that Liverpool were back in business as a top club.

Such a terrible shame injuries did not help him. We may possibly have won more trophies if he was available. Hope he can resurrect his career with another club.

Hope he gets fit enough for another club to take a gamble on him.

The goal against the cheats will forever live in our memory. Pace , power, drive, it encapsulated the type of player Klopp wanted in the middle. Such a shame injuries robbed him of his best years with us. Sound lad by all accounts too. All we can hope is that he's able to play regularly at some sort of level

HeartAndSoul · « **Reply #5231 on:** May 21, 2023, 10:28:07 pm »

Judging by his interview on the LFC website, sounds like he’s got interest from premier league teams because he mentioned playing against us again and not celebrating if he scored. Good luck to him, should have never got that extension after his injury but hopefully he can stay match fit wherever he goes and enjoys the last 4-5 years of his career.

mrantarctica · « **Reply #5232 on:** May 22, 2023, 01:02:30 am »

I think no doubt he will move to another Premier League club, possibly a newly promoted team, or to a recently relegated team looking to bounce back up straight away. Still got some quality about him and at a club with lower expectations where they aren't looking to play in multiple competitions and expected to win every game, I think he'll show his best qualities again.

Always an Arsenal type player for me - as shown by his love of social media. Thought he put in a lot of half arsed performances in the last two years. Plus didn’t like the way he blanked Jurgen after the guard of honour.

Sorry for bringing down the tone here, wasn’t the intention. AOC is a good player, potentially great for us if injuries didn’t ruin it, and seems like a great chap. Shame he didn’t reach his potential and he almost got left behind in the journey.
