Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pure 'class', according to Arsene Wenger, as midfielder enhances Euros chance With injuries to Mikel Arteta, Abou Diaby, Aaron Ramsey, Yossi Benayoun and Francis Coquelin, as well as the long-term absence of Jack Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain started in central midfield alongside Alex Song and put in a mature performance. He tired a bit in the second half after his injury, and he got less of the ball than he did in the first half. When he got the ball, you always think something could happen," Wenger said. He can play all of the places across the pitch, in midfield to wide. You could see he has suffered physically, but also that he has the class to be in there. Oxlade-Chamberlain sent in the corner for Arsenal's first goal and won a penalty for the third as Arsenal nearly produced the comeback of all comebacks. Despite seeing the confirmation of another trophyless season, Oxlade-Chamberlain's performance will long be remembered in the thoughts of whichever coach will take England to Euro 2012 this summer. The former Southampton midfielder was not selected in Stuart Pearce's England squad for the friendly against Holland at Wembley last Wednesday, but Wenger has already said he believes the teenager is destined to make the finals in Poland and Ukraine.
