Alex Oxlade Chamberlain practices golf skills in garden
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has revealed his disappointment at Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's Reds career so far. Oxlade-Chamberlain has made 85 appearances for Liverpool since his move from Arsenal in the summer of 2017. However, the England international has failed to nail down a regular starting spot in the Premier League under Jurgen Klopp.

"I'm a big fan," Souness said on Sky Sports.
"He's different to what you'd regard as the first three, the first three that generally start who are all working, really aggressive types - [James] Milner, [Georginio] Wijnaldum, [Jordan] Henderson, Fabinho. Whatever mix you have they're all solid, solid types.

"He did his cruciate against Roma in the Champions League, it was an unnecessary challenge, he was going back towards his own goal, it was just him showing his enthusiasm.
"I like him, I think he's got great qualities but I still feel I'm waiting for him to put a run of games together.
"I want him to have 10, 15 games under his belt non-stop.
"When you mention his name and start talking about him, you feel as if he arrived at Liverpool a couple of months ago. I want to see him running games and really showing what he can do.
"He has qualities that the three regular starters don't have. He can drop a shoulder, he's a wonderful striker of the ball.
"He's one of them that gets you on the edge of your seat."
Meanwhile, former Arsenal defender Sol Campbell believes Oxlade-Chamberlain has reached a new level since leaving the Gunners.
"Yeah he's a good lad, good lad, great lad," Campbell said.
"He's got a good schooling, obviously from Southampton as well.
"Being at Liverpool has moved him onto another Liverpool."
