Wenger slams Oxlade-Chamberlain: He didn't want to fight
Posted Friday, December 22, 2017 by Tribalfootball.com
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has taken a swipe at Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ahead of tonight's big game with Liverpool.
The Ox returns to Arsenal on Friday for the first time since his £35million move to Liverpool in August.
He left after failing to nail down a first-team spot and his old boss Wenger said: "What do you want to be, a big player and not have to fight?
"You can't be a big player, sit in your rocking chair and say I do not want to fight.
"It doesn't work like that. Every player has to fight.
"I am convinced it is an important part of being a top player."
So far ten of his 15 Premier League games for Reds boss Jurgen Klopp have been as a sub.
Wenger said: "Is he sure of a place there? You are sure of a place nowhere.
"In a big club you have big competition with some good players. That is absolutely normal."
