England came from behind to record a 2-1 win over Slovakia to all but ensure their passage into the 2018 World Cup in Russia. While goals from Eric Dier and Marcus Rashford cut out Stanislav Lobotka’s first half strike, there were a couple of Liverpool boys on show.
Jordan Henderson was out captaining the side but all eyes were on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as our new recruit started for the Three Lions. While Rashford was the one player that certainly put in a great performance, there were a lot of questions still being asked about the Ox.
The former Arsenal player took a wage cut to join us on £120,000 a week, but the jury is still out on how good he would be for us.
Jurgen Klopp might have taken a bit of a risk in signing the former Southampton man but truth be told, the German does have a history of turning around careers and hopefully, Oxlade-Chamberlain could be another star in the making.
Twitter, however, was not too keen on the performance put in by the 24-year-old and here are some of the best reactions from the networking side on the Ox.
Liverpool fans, we give you your new signing… Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain #OxladeChamberlain #ENGSVK #England #Liverpool pic.twitter.com/nMUZdKCQNO

Wilfried Zaha is a better winger than Oxlade-Chamberlain & Lingard

Oxlade-Chamberlain was awful during the game as well, starting to feel glad he rejected us.

Jake Livermore was on the pitch for just 8 seconds yet played better than Oxlade Chamberlain did

Klopp has secretly told Oxlade to play shit for England so he can work on improving him more at Anfield. Tactical genius.

Sterling has done more in 5 minutes than Oxlade-Chamberlain did all match.

OX showing @LFC his skills . Can’t shoot, can’t cross the ball, can’t pass, can’t do anything

Oxlade-Chamberlain looks so low on confidence, it’s actually kind of sad to watch. The flashes of quality are there though.

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has got to be the biggest waste of money since Spurs signed Sissoko for £30 mil… Scousers love wasting money

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain is smart. No way he would have benched this Victor Moses in a hundred years. And he knew it!
