Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand believes that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should have a regular place in the Liverpool side.

The Ox reminded everyone of his talent when he scored a wonder goal as the Reds marched past Genk in the UEFA Champions League group stages.

Ferdinand believes that Oxlade-Chamberlain has qualities that are different to the club's other midfielders, and that boss Jurgen Klopp is desperate to find a way to make him a regular part of the starting eleven.

"You get the feeling his teammates love him," Ferdinand told BT Sport.

"You can tell Klopp loves him and he's desperate to get him in the team somehow.

"He offers something totally different to the likes of Milner, Wijnaldum, Fabinho and Henderson.

"He can dribble past people which is hard for a midfielder.

"It's great to see him get back in. I like the way that he gets into those positions.

"Once he gets into those pockets in behind the opposition's midfield he can dribble and shoot.

"He's a fantastic footballer and it's all about decision making there. He offers something totally different in the midfield for Liverpool."
