What is the point of "The Ox"?

We need to re-evaluate the quality of a few players. I’ve defended Ox but I can’t anymore. This is the same pattern as last season. A good preseason but then he chokes when the season kicks off. He’s lucky Wenger played him yesterday considering how poor he played over the weekend. It’s not down to a lack of effort. That’s for sure. We need someone to have a word in his ear. It won’t come from the manager and I have no idea who in the squad can talk some sense into him. He shouldn’t be starting games until he figures it out. It’s gone horribly wrong for him.

Agreed. I have been a supporter of him up until this season really, I'm losing patience with him now though as he can't even get the basics right.

I suspect Wenger will try and play him back into form, similar to what he did with Ramsey a few seasons back. I hope he doesn't though as we are not good enough to carry him at the moment, he needs to build back his confidence by coming off the bench with cameos, hopefully good ones.

I really don't know what to think anymore regarding him, once Theo & Ramsey are back Ox should naturally drop down the pecking order, he's behind Iwobi now for me.
