Yup let's not overhype him, he did look impressive but it's not hard to mug off Ozil these days.

I don't think he did anything particularly special. He just had a decent game. Our CMs were woeful that game, think anyone would have looked good playing against them. If he wasn't 16 people wouldn't be saying he played really well.

He looked confident and not bothered by the occasion, and had a solid game. Nothing to outstanding. I hope he does go on to have a great career. But hope he's not massively over hyped. So many overhyped youngster end up never meeting their expectation.

"Watching Reece Oxford on Sunday was pretty bleak viewing for us Gooners, pretty much mugged Ozil off for an hour."

Another one who's fallen for the hype. He didn't mug anyone off. Ridiculous.

Well said Dubbed, the whole team played utter tripe from min1 when we misplaced pass after pass. West Ham defended in good numbers and were solid.

We played the game as if it was already won and that was the main problem.

Whatever happened to JET, Tom Cruise and the other world class talent coming through the ranks?

Same thing that happened to Possebon, Fabio, Anderson, etc.

A 16 year old playing holding midfield in the prem is about as unheard of as it gets. Take nothing away from his achievement. I don't think anyone is suggesting he is the new Makelele.

No that's not me

Oxford had a good game, but t was he first game of the season. Let see if pople are talking about him at the end of the season. He looks to hae the potential to be another player who can break through while stll young and I think we will likely see him in an England shirt in the future, but not for a while yet.
