Klopp looks utterly unimpressed by Oxlade-Chamberlain's pass
That is the opinion of pundit and former Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given.
Oxlade-Chamberlain made his first start for Liverpool last night in the 2-0 Carabao Cup loss to Leicester since his initial £35million move from Arsenal.
The England international’s performance was heavily criticised from pundits, with ex-Liverpool striker Emile Heskey saying he forgot he was playing at times.
Oxlade-Chamberlain moved to Anfield due to his desire of playing in central midfield, a position he looked unlikely to play at Arsenal.

However, he is yet to play there in his four Liverpool appearances and Given says it will remind him of his days at the Emirates.

“He must be thinking ‘this is deja vu a little bit, I’m back out on the right wing’ where he says he’s not happy.
“He’ll play better, probably Emile’s comments are a bit harsh that he didn’t remember much of him in the game.
“He’s just finding his feet at a big club, a new club as well.
“But it’s interesting to see because he didn’t play in the centre and he played on the right-wing again.”
Oxlade-Chamberlain will look for an improved performance against the same opponents, Leicester, on Saturday in the Premier League (5.30pm).
