I disagree, I feel that Walcott is more than capable of playing up top alone, I feel although he does not create
chances like giroud can, We have Ozil, Cazorla and ramsey to do this.
Even if we get a benzema our problem will persist, yes benzema may not need 8
chances like giroud to score but in crucial games, smart teams will shut our attack down and we will again suffer the same problem.
Not exact matches
So my point is what is
giroud doing in a team which is abt technique and pace.hes not
like rvp, and not to be rude «but
giroud does miss
chances»... AM TIRED IF WENGER»S DEFIANCE AND HIS ATTEMPT TO PROV THE WORLD WRONG!!
goodness i can't believe it people will still defend him.You know something when
Giroud misses many
chances like at Monaco i did not criticize him even based on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.Arsenal has
Giroud as the main cf and Welbeck as backup to him.
Giroud has done well scoring some goals some too important but collectively he does more harm than good.Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based on content.
Giroud does not excel in many games than he excels in games.As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying
Giroud can not dribble he cant do this he cant do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him for that because every player has his own style.
Giroud limitations as a player costs arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of play is ok for us but a striker who can take on players and run behind defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.For Welbeck he needs to works on his finishing and composure by doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of goal too much.For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works on improving.
Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in arsenal's neck for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support
Giroud or Welbeck to lead the line next season but as the saying goes if you fool me once shame on you but if you fool me twice shame on me.Will you let
Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?
We wont beat Everton thats 4 sure... i hope 4 a draw, wt player
like wilshere and
giroud we do nt stand a
chance against the strong teams!
Giroud didn't really have any decent
chances but he was awful and no where near sharp enough for my
liking.
With a player
like Ozil topping the charts with
chances created, assists etc, we would expect our hitman up front who has played almost every single game to have way more goals... yet
Giroud is nowhere near the top scorers.
I wonder whether some guys here watch other EPL matches apart from Arsenal to see how many
chances other teams create in a match.U will rant about
Giroud who is not helping the team either but even with a big name
like Cavani, Arsenal will still struggle.And bragging about a midfield that is failing to make those through passes and beat defenders also shows a little football brain.
Why would you pay so much for Lacazette and then no give him a
chance, play him with the best forwards??? Looks
like giroud will start the season and then Lacazzette will struggle for confidence?
During the summer before the Euro's kicked off, Ozil was in the spotlight for
liking a post on Instagram which mocked
Giroud for his untold missed
chances which cost Ozil the
chance to smash Henry's assists record and We all know that
Giroud has a very sensitive Ego, especially after the way he reacted to Henry's comments of «Arsenal won't win the league all the while that
Giroud is playing up front» And in the end Henry had to come out and rephrase his statement because
Giroud wouldn't let it go.
what matters is will
Giroud keep missing
chances like the 15games drought, Zagreb, Barcelona, Monaco... who am I deceiving?
With a long and arduous season ahead of Arsenal in four competitions, perhaps the fact that some players
like Olivier
Giroud, Lucas Perez and Carl Jenkinson got a rare
chance to play and gain some match sharpness for when they are called upon by Arsene Wenger for a Premier League or Champions League match will turn out to be crucial.
How on earth can players
like Ozil, Cazorla,
Giroud, Welbeck, Rosicky and Chamberlain fail to create
chances or even frighten a club
like MOnaco into their own half?
For me I would
like to see Sanchez or Theo playing striker but we do have to rotate and give
Giroud a
chance.
This is simple a very intelligent child can solve this problem.Firstly today our keeper was very poor however i know he will come good.By the way why is Paulista no getting his chance.What i have observed about arsenal since we signed Mertesacker from day one and since he started playing is that Mertesacker hardly gets involved you will usually see him a few times because he does not want to get caught out.e has always been a weak link in the defence even in his greatest performances here.When i see us playing with a high line and he is there i always laugh.It is just a mistake waiting to happen and i can tell u that it will happen again this season.Secondly why is Ramsey Cazorla and Ozil playing in the same line - up in a 4 -5-1 formation.That is just not right though it will win you some matches due to individual brilliance.It wont work at all.Lastly the least i say about
Giroud the better i am not judging him on one game.One would imagine if he was not french and
like chinese will he be getting these
chances under Wenger.To me he will always be an average player and i will stand by my word even if he has good games.
And even though it looks
like those injury issues are easing and there is a good
chance the Ox may find himself on the bench more often, the England international is over the moon to see the
likes of Walcott,
Giroud and Debuchy coming back, because he reckons that with a fitter squad, Arsenal will be ready to really push on after christmas and put the iffy first half of the season behind us.
#kev Spot on keg the more goal creators in the midfield
like Ozil, Mharez, Ramsey, and even Sanchez more
chances is missed by useless
Giroud.
I've always maintained my stance that Arsene Wenger loves French players in his team than any other players.No matter how average you are once you're French and once you're in the first team he tends to give you so many
chances to prove yourself.I can start mentioning them if you want me to but I know you know them.If Lucas Perez was French he wouldn't have been out so early believe me.I just don't know where to begin.Was
Giroud bought to become a super sub or to be the leading striker?Having giving us many sesons of failure people are now content with him being a so called super sub.A player
like Giroud is not built for that kind of role.He ws a super sub in 99 % of those matches because he was not played when he was supposed to and we needed presence in the air.The funny thing is people are using only this season to label him as a super sub.There were so many matched that Wenger should have started
Giroud but for some reason didn't start him.I only see Arsenal as the top club who'd be crying over
Giroud.If a good offer comes we should sell.
I just don't know what's wrong with Arsenal fans.Sure I get it as humans we all have our preferences but things start to look funny when we begin to bash and criticize a player
like he's useless.I just don't get why Arsenal fans do nt want Vardy.Oh is it because he's not world class, he's English, He's not a big name, he's a fairy tale, you feel all he does is run, he's not got a better history in footballing until now or you feel
Giroud is better or what?I really pity Arsenal fans honestly.I would've taken Jamie Vardy in a heartbeat.Sure he's not the best option out there.But I'll say this and say it again it's not a world class striker that wins you a league but rather just increases your
chances of winning the league.If you've watched Arsenal clearly from the time since Henry left you realized that it's more of not being able to find a clinical striker.Eduardo was not a already a finished product when he started his career here yet he was clinical and was on world class form until injury.What Arsenal need now is a world class finisher if they can't get a world class striker.
bottom line, it takes a strange year
like this yr to have a
chance to win the leaque w
giroud front and center, we have 4 yrs of data, he averages only one goal per 3 matches for 4 yrs, he is not improving, he will not improve, this is it.
d term» world class» is used loosely...
giroud is a good striker but showed y he can't b trusted as our no9... missed easier
chance but still scored... don't care if u sai he's not good enough but since he plays for AFC, I'll cheer him on for France 24/7... when he's at arsenal, plays
like a donkey and he turns to s ** troud, then I'll change my tune... OT, did u see pogba??? believe he has gotten carried with d hype «golden boy of France»....
Wenger is looking to Olivier
Giroud to lead the Arsenal line single - handedly after seemingly electing to only use the
likes Lukas Podolski, Gervinho and Theo Walcott in wide areas, therefore though the French summer signing has started to up his game there is certainly a need to bring in alternatives and Dzeko may well be tempted by the
chance of a new challenge.
Like it happened to other youth stars like Jeff Adelaide, Jon Toral, Jerkinson, Bilik... Wenger has not finished giving Giroud chance to play... then Ed

Spot on bro... the problem with most of us Arsenal fans is that we've been made to accept average as our only option after been promised by Gazidis and other members of the board that we will compete with top European clubs... i feel some players need to be allowed to go in order for better ones who are ambitious and hungry for titles to come in... and someone made mention of
Giroud saving Arsenal in a few games
like the countless
chances he's missed that could have put the club in better positions could be equated right... he should have done that against Watford, west brom and the rest... truth be told..
Giroud missing easy chances and not scoring regularly, not fit to play for arsenal, but costa aguero and rooney, they reserve their WC title regardless... aguero had giroud - like misses in the last game, but gets to sleep in peace because fans and media are not slaughtering him abo

Lethal combination as both are known for scoring goals (
Giroud some what less effective but sometimes he can score good goals
like last against man utd last match, Pod needs gametime but once he get
chances we all know how lethal he is).
guy couldnt pass the ball wright, can not shot, not just he missing
chances but he miss the ball all the time, slowing the tempo, no pace no speed old story, on one on one no way he can pass the player, dribble
like my grandma... and you tell me how the guy with this attributes can be no. 1 striker and play in the best league in the world and probably one of the best clubs in the world... as long as i am alive i would ask myself how
giroud stray in arsenal and be no. 1 striker... even my little cousin make a jokes about him, its obvious
like a day... guy is laughingstock!!!
Don't care if you don't
like how sleepy he looks, fact is he created 5
chances yesterday, 4 of them in the first half and I can count 3 - 4 of those were proper
chances (Sanchez,
Giroud, Ramsey).
Despite Arsenal's usual blistering start to the season, we have dropped away in the title race through our lack of goals, and us fans have (obviously) blamed our strikers
like Olivier
Giroud and Theo Walcott for not putting away the
chances created, especially by our assist king Mesut Ozil.
Every action has risks including inaction, we know that our strike force at the moment is not up to EPL winning quality, inaction means, we are ok with that, we are also ok to take a
chance of injuries, just
like Welbeck went down
Giroud could too, in any case all I am trying to say is that not buying is just as risky and can be even more so than buying.
The second half saw
Giroud replace Sanchez, with Arsenal missing a few decent
chances it was again looking
like it was not going to be our day.
at HA559 I totally agree with your analyse and my main concern outside of the obvious defensive weakness is the incapacity of Wellbeck to make good run without the ball.He just does not know to make himself available
like the goods poachers, in that only and maybe in the head department he is inferior to
Giroud who wastes so many of his
chances when Wellbeck has few by his inaptitude.
i think if we by any
chance got griezmann that would be awesome, against bus parking teams
like norwich we could play with a top 2 with griezmann and
giroud they can play very well with eachother and griezmann could get on to
girouds flicks and knockdowns and griezmann does play in a top2 at atletico and against the most teams griezmann could play as a lone striker, but anyway i do nt think he will leave atletico
But on his return Olivier
Giroud had struck form, and when Theo was given a
chance the goals had dried up and he just seemed to be running around
like a headless chicken to no effect whatsoever.
What do u expect when we have the most patheticc fans in d history of football, all they know is to insult every player that wears d shirt, no English winger presently has scored more goals than Walcott yet he's always an idiot, their latest target now is xhaka, soon will stop being adventurous to avoid mistakes and start playing side ways and back passes bcos of fans abuse,
giroud donkey, ozil has more assists, hss created more
Chances, has made completed more passes in d final 3rd, has made more successful crosses than any other player in d league since he came to arsenal, yet they will always call him lazy, its ridiculous we v decended to this sorry state, no player will flourish in a hostile environment
like ours,
It also seems clear that the Frenchman knows that we do need another striker of quality to help out the
likes of Olivier
Giroud and Theo Walcott if Arsenal are to have a real
chance of beating our Premier League rivals to the title this year.
His lack of playing time is largely due to injury problems though, as he has only played four games for the under 21s, but now that Danny Welbeck has recovered from his own injury and with Theo Walcott set to return and joing the
likes of
Giroud, Alexis, Iwobi, Lucas Perez and the Ox in fighting for a place in the forward line, I do not rate Akpom's
chances of playing a lot of football for the rest of the season very highly.
I must say since tme of rvp, arsenal havent had a world class striker.when
likes of rvp, arshavin played; u expected the team to always hav a
chance whoever.i guess u cant say the same of
giroud.attitude-wise and overall
Giroud is a good player, but not suited for arsenal style....
It is looking
like we may be saying goodbye to Podolski in January, but the suspension of
Giroud and the injury news on Welbeck may just have given him one last
chance to show Wenger what he can do, perhaps in the centre forward role.
Yes the Whole team played
like Pants in the Monaco game but it WAS
GIROUD that flopped up big time... Its all about scoring goals — he didn't put away decent
chances (which was created by who — the rest of the guys)..
Giroud even said him, wellback and sanchez can play together.really?we just want sanches - wellback - theo, but everytime we have a chance to have something special wenger always f**k it up.why cant giroud compete with wellback for that cf, this guy is clear scared of facing some of his players.it looks like sanchez will compete with theo and ox for that rw

Giroud is too slow for my
liking and misses too many
chances that is not an Arsenal kind of striker to be honest.
Ruthlessness, player petting (continually giving
chances to players
like Giroud rwho will not lead Arsenal anywhere rather than going out and strongly bidding and buying a top quality ST), slowness in reacting deficiencies in the squad even in January windows where it is clearer and the season can still be turned around, not basing our transfer windows on banking or players who get injured consistently, getting players we need and making respectable offers for players we need (
like the Suarez debacle) are some of the things I mentioned.
And for your info our team doesn't depend on a single player to get goals
like Rinaldo and Madrid.we score as a team.we divide the goals and
giroud is more than just a finisher, he creates
chances and defends too.your comment is way too childish..
HAHAHAHAHA someone actually thinks
Giroud is better than Lacazette.I'd even do better than
Giroud if I ever had the
chance and to be honest I'm not bluffing.I'm a Ghanaian sensation as many of you would
like to call it.
Giroud is not and will never be better than Lacazette and I specially dedicate this comment to Robin Vanpayslip and Joe.
If u need 5
chance to score 1 ur not a top striker... sorry if i offended
giroud boys... i
like the guy but he a bk up at best at a top club..
Instead he is still stuck with the
likes of
Giroud and Walcott wasting what little
chances and space he creates.
Same could be said for
Giroud, look how he got dropped to super sub role last season,
Giroud was fit to start most of them and if Wenger love had played a part
like you said then Welbeck wouldn't have been given a
chance at the end of last season and
Giroud would have had a lot more game time.
Unlike Wenger they may bent by the will of the fan and go getting the best available striker in the market
like Benteke (32.5 M), Mandzukic (18M), Martinez (25M) and let the fan hail them as huge upgrade over
Giroud — will it improve our
chance of winning the EPL?
Can't chuba akpom come from bench... i wud feel we shud give kid a
chance... plus if we are to go 4 a «WC» striker we should first sell
giroud... coz den he is of no use... coz wud prefer walcot any time coz of his pace and welbz coz he can hold up the ball in front «
like»
giroud plus he is a better runner nd confident his striking can only get better... 4 me
giroud is of no use to dis team coz we are developing into more of a counter-attacking type wid help player
like coq available... so better first get a DM which shud be our prime requirement....
