Alex Oxlade Chamberlain aka "The Ox"

[red g]

I'm not massively sure that Lallana is that important to Klopp

I think he always liked his workrate but the Ox is a lot more direct and not bothered about turning the same man twenty times.

[RedReet]

He's being eased back into the side. Klopp has made it clear that unless a player is fully fit or until a (new) player is up to speed with his demands, they won't play. People too quick to write players off when they aren't playing as not being rated by Klopp.

Lallana will be needed towards the end of the season and I think Klopp sees him playing a key role in the run in. He'll start against Porto IMO and that will be the next step in his reintegration back into teh side.

He attempted more passes than any other midfielder or attacker and with the highest success rate.

His thread used to get bumped when he had a good victory and he didn't play. Those people are very quiet now.

Might that be because he's playing?

I thought Danny Murphy's analysis of Henderson was a bit weird, saying that, in the holding role, he's good at the defensive side but needs to add passing more to his game.

Yeah I thought that was a bit odd, but to be honest I don't put much value in what Danny Murphy says

Much? I think you’re giving Murphy a bit too much credit.

Fair point

Danny Murphy might be the king of **** pundits and it’s a very competitive race for that crown

[Buzzo]

I can’t stand him. He’s smug as well, talks like he was rivalling Zidane in his playing days when he was about 1/2 a notch above a journeyman midfielder at best. His analysis lacks any kind of insight at all.

[fidget]

He's a little tosser.

I think that that applies to most of the pundits on Match of the Day, I don't think that any of the analysis they do really adds any insight, Murphy, Jenas, Shearer, Wright all boring as hell.

[fidget]

It's not like they watch the whole match either

[Buzzo]

Gerrardesque goal. What a hit.

[Norbs]

Faded badly but done his job and earned his stripes

Ox from the Box!
