I'm suspecting might be more to do with the birth of his baby. Maybe some sort of covid precaution with a new born? I dunno because Alisson just had a baby too haha

He must be but nothing has been said that I can see.

Just seen Jurgen has said he's been ill for a few days.

He's such a lovely, lovely footballer. Wish he was more robust. Maybe this time...?

This is what we've been missing all season long - unpredictability and sharpness. What a goal!...

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #4136 on:** May 19, 2021, 10:12:58 pm »

I appreciate his ability to test the keeper. He did what we should have been doing all game.

Happy for him. I don’t know what the future holds. Hopefully he can still play a part.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #4137 on:** May 19, 2021, 10:14:20 pm »

Imagine this lad wasn’t made of glass, he would easily hit double figures. Happy for him, seems a top lad.

I always love to see Ox getting minutes and scoring goals. He seems like such a top lad on and off the pitch.

Really hope he can have an injury free season next season and get a decent run of games under his belt.

dmorgan · « **Reply #4141 on:** May 19, 2021, 10:17:13 pm »

Ahh well.. Talent has always been there. Wish he wasn't such a crock...could easily be sold this summer I feel

harryc · « **Reply #4142 on:** May 19, 2021, 10:20:10 pm »

Great hit with his left peg could well be his last, shame the injuries have probably ruined his career at LFC.

Ox scoring on and off the pitch.

tubby · « **Reply #4144 on:** May 19, 2021, 10:51:49 pm »

Great so see how nimble he still is after all those shitty injuries, but I guess the question would be whether he can do it for 90 minutes once a week.

macmanamanaman · « **Reply #4145 on:** May 19, 2021, 10:54:26 pm »

Very Sturridge-esque goal.
Go again next game!

Klopp seems to like him a lot. Also only 27 isn’t he? He’ll stick around.

Always knew he just needed to be in the Mix...

The decision on Ox to keep or sell is an enigma to me... He's in the same category as Matip - excellent players but made of glass.

tubby · « **Reply #4152 on:** May 20, 2021, 12:06:29 am »

Wonder if having a kid on the way will affect his thinking if we do get offers for him. Might want to have some stability in his life right now.

If we got £20m for him and replaced his supposed £120k per week salary for a more readily available player I'd be up for that.

Or maybe next season he will actually start playing like a £120k player. As someone said above, having a baby on the way, could make him more motivated to start training harder and concentrate more to reach the top. He's a beast and unplayable when he's fully fit. I'm praying for that.

The Test · « **Reply #4155 on:** May 20, 2021, 07:49:15 am »

Congrats on the baby Ox, as a mate said to me last year when my missus was pregnant “welcome to the worlds shittest club”!!

I think that goal came at a great time for him and us. Apart from jota we don’t have much goal threat from the bench. I reckon bringing him on with half hour to go if we need a goal against palace will give the team a real boost which could end up being the difference.

He was a monster before the injury. Fingers crossed he has a good pre season and starts the campaign fit and fresh.

Which could equally mean a move back to London.

Everything that comes out of the club is that he's a really committed and hard-working pro so I don't think there's much room for more motivation. He got that unspecified (as far as I know) knee injury during pre-season and was injured until Christmas so it was always going to be hard for him to get up to speed. With all the focus on our defenders his four months out injured almost went under the radar which is a bit weird as he played over 40 times the season before.

His last few cameos from the bench have been really promising but I don't think any of them have come in midfield which is where he was excellent for us in 2017/18. I don't know whether Klopp's move to a controlling midfield is permanent or just to offer more protection to the patched up defence - if it's permanent then I'd imagine Ox will be sold if a suitable bid comes in.

We need to start moving players on who aren't offering enough, whether it be performances or time on the pitch.

We can't move 10 or 11 players on though at once. If Origi/Shaq/Minamino/Keita/Wijnaldum all left in the summer then Ox may stay and move further up the order. His season was ruined by an injury before it started. If he can get a good pre-season behind him, and he'll have a summer break, then he could be a good option next year.

clinical · « **Reply #4159 on:** May 20, 2021, 09:50:50 am »

He needs a move if we're being honest as do Shaqiri and Origi.
