Players Stand still when They are at Arsenal - Jamie Redknapp Highlights Serious Problem with Arsenal

Oxlade-Chamberlain's blistering performance during Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Manchester City highlighted a serious problem at Arsenal, says Jamie Redknapp. The England international left the Emirates over the summer having spent six years with the Gunners. His decision to leave was understood to have been motivated by his lack of progress under Arsene Wenger.

Despite being one of the most highly rated young players in England when he joined from Southampton, Oxlade-Chamberlain failed to ever secure a guaranteed place in the starting XI, struggled to define his best position and never scored more than two goals in a Premier League season.

However, in just 20 Premier League games at Liverpool he has surpassed that total with his strike against Man City his third goal of the season. Redknapp believes Oxlade-Chamberlain is not the only player to have stagnated at Arsenal in recent years. ‘If you need any further proof that players stand still when they are at Arsenal, you only need to look at Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s dazzling performance for Liverpool against Manchester City,’ he told the Daily Mail. ‘No more than an hour after his former Arsenal team-mates lost limply at Bournemouth, the Ox had burst through the City defence to open the scoring.

‘Oxlade-Chamberlain looks a different player since arriving at Anfield last summer. At Arsenal, it was all too easy for him. No-one was pushing him and it did not matter whether he was in or out of the team. ‘Now he looks fitter, stronger and is thriving in a clearly-defined midfield role. Once again, he looks like a fantastic talent.’

Real Madrid Left Back Marcelo Ruled Out for One Month while Toni Kroos will Miss Real Madrid's trip to Alaves

Real Madrid star Toni Kroos is set join Marcelo in the treatment room when Los Blancos visit Alaves on Saturday (23 September) after suffering a rib injury. The news is a fresh concern for Zinedine Zidane as Karim Benzema, Theo Hernandez, Jesus Vallejo and Mateo Kovacic are also ruled out for the visit to Mendizorroza due to various injuries. Kroos, 27, missed the last weekend's 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad due to a fitness problem. The Germany international returned to Zidane's starting line-up for Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Real Betis and was able to complete the full 90 minutes. However, it looks like Kroos suffered a recurrence of the problem in that game after Real Madrid revealed on Friday morning that the midfielder skipped the final training session before Los Blancos' trip to Vitoria.
