'Too much paella' - Oxlade-Chamberlain Stunned By How Slow Liverpool Teammate Is

The 2022/23 football season is finally upon us with players across the Premier League returning to their clubs for pre-season training.

However, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, he’s taken a no mercy approach towards his dressing room antics, mocking 3rd choice goalkeeper Adrian’s fitness.

The England international jokingly remarked, “Too much paella or something, what’s going on!?” as Adrian commenced his pre-season training.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has had a difficult time of it in Liverpool in recent years, failing to return to his best form after tearing his ACL in 2018.

However, he’s always been a popular figure in the Anfield dressing room, and it’s good to see him in high spirits ahead of the new season.

With the Brit’s contract expiring next summer, one suspects he has one more chance to prove himself to his manager.

That won’t be an easy task at all, with some serious competition forming in Oxlade-Chamberlain’s preferred right-central-midfield role.

And even with that depth, some Liverpool fans aren’t satisfied with the Klopp’s options in that area of his team.

Goals and assists from midfield is something Klopp’s team has consistently lacked since he was appointed as manager at Anfield in 2015.

For a while, it appeared Oxlade-Chamberlain could be the man to provide just that. He’ll be hoping to get back to his best and provide solutions for Klopp in that regard this season.
