Liverpool v Burnley - Premier League
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has only played 67 minutes of PL football this season

When a player takes a £65,000-a-week pay cut to further his career, he should be commended not abused. Ever since switching the Emirates for Anfield, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has received nothing but abuse from the football community.

However, his performances haven’t done enough to negate that criticism.

The whole reason Chamberlain chose Liverpool over Chelsea was due to his desire to play in central midfield, not at right wing-back. His brief substitute cameos haven’t convinced Jurgen Klopp to play him in the middle.

Since joining, he’s only played there once and it was his worst performance of the season yet, as he helped Liverpool lose 2-0 to Leicester City in the EFL Cup.

The Englishman hasn’t started one game yet for the Reds in the league. Because for one, he hasn’t proved himself as a CM and he’s failed to impress the fans & Klopp this season.
