Oxlade-Chamberlain

[Niall_Quinn]

We all know he'll get injured, probably taken out in training by Diaby. We'll find a way to fuck him up.

Wonder whether he'll be a doubt, because of a "little calf" next week.

Heard his triangle completion rate was low yesterday, the stupid fucker kept running with the ball towards the opposition goal. That made the triangles harder to complete and also meant we were often playing an isosceles formation when it should have been equilateral. At one point the whole shape was scalene as Ox and RvP threw discipline to the wind and got into the opposition box, stayed onside and scored. Ox caused our perimeter to be way off too, it should have been 6 feet but he often got pulled towards the opposition goal thereby extending it to a ridiculous 50 yards, even more on occasion. The lad has a lot to learn.

Plus he's injured, whether he likes it or not.

Will probably be going to Euro 2012

Oh good, now we have another useful player that can get injured when he's not even playing for us. I guess we get Theo all to ourselves though.

Theo will feel like utter shit if Oxlade goes to the Euros and he doesn't. I wouldn't go as far as to say I hope it happens - because that'd be a horrible thing to wish for - but I really hope it happens.

If you can't take the heat...


.. then fuck off.

[Fist of Lehmann]

Even when Gerbilho comes back I wouldn't mind having a look at OC in the middle, instead of Ramsey. When he came there was talk that he was could play centrally.
This is if Wilshere isn't back of course.

The only thing is that, with his style of play (fast/direct) he'd naturally play a bit more like a deep-lying forward than a forward thinking midfielder. A bit more like Man Utd play with Rooney.

With Ramsey looking leggy and Cesc before him, it's a long time since we had any real pace in that attacking mid position.

He'd need to work on his triangles though. Or turn them into straight lines e.g. Sczez -> OC -> Goal
