Paul Merson Slates Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain & Claims He's 'Fortunate to Play for England'

Sky Sports pundit and former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has slated Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's recent performances, as the new Liverpool man suffered another dismal display for England against Slovenia.

Oxlade-Chamberlain had failed to earn a first team spot in his favoured midfield role again last season at Arsenal, and after fearing that he was in danger of not fulfilling his potential he secure a £35m move to Liverpool in the summer.

That transfer hasn't done much to improve his form however and after four appearances for the Reds, none of which have been starts, he is yet to make much of a contribution.
