Giroud: slow but good in winning aerial duels, settibg passes for run ins (now he'll lots of it for theo), you and i know his one touch is sublime and i noticed he score goals we do nt think he's capable of, He's a green snake under the green grass in football, he can be deadly when you do nt expect him.

His height does give him an edge over many of his peers in the air — a tactic that Marouane Fellaini made use of for Everton, finding winning aerial duels against scurrying midfielders much easier than uncompromising centre - backs — yet the extra bulk also makes him less mobile than them and his lack of movement was a major issue as Swansea tried to get the ball forward.

Still winning his aerial duels, tackling well, fast and rough like always. (justarsenal.com)
