Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hits back at Thierry Henry ‘stupid’ comments

Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has admitted he was disappointed by comments made by Thierry Henry. The midfielder came in for heavy criticism for a poor performance on his full debut for Liverpool in a 2-0 defeat to Leicester City in the EFL Cup. Speaking after the match, former Arsenal star Henry said about Chamberlain: "I have been watching him for a very long time and I still don't know what he's good at". But Chamberlain, who had a fine performance in the Premier League win over Newcastle United, answered. "Those comments are probably a bit stupid," he said. "When you have watched someone long enough, you know what they can do. "I think it was more aimed at the end product side of things and doing those things that lead to scoring a goal or setting up a goal. "Fair enough, I will take those comments on the chin. It cannot shake me. Saying you don't know what I do, when you have worked with me, I think it is a bit stupid." "The important thing is that, when I came here, I had a manager who had faith in me," said the England international.
