As it stands currently, I'd still like
Giroud leading the line
against the weaker
opposition.

Wenger might surprise us all and start Theo instead of
Giroud and play the big man
against teams that try to play rugby or bring him on to help hold up play in the
oppositions half to hold a lead.
I am also of the view that
Giroud is considering his France place in the world cup, which will be less guarantee if he plays on the bench at arsenal, it would be unfortunate to lose his skills, teams most be able to mix there attacking threats
against different defensive styles of varying
oppositions.
Best possible result for arsenal today # unconvincing performance from Walcott
against quality
opposition # no thrashing of Chelsea to make them strengthen in the window # mourinho hoodoo over
against arsenal # wenger clearly wants a striker because
giroud hasn't played much in preseason and didn't start.
... he played there
against crystal palace, Everton 2 season ago and it was a disaster... our build up is majorly done closer to d centre circle than d
oppositions box... that's y
girouds hold up play is vital... either we go with dat path or we look for a striker who is lightning quick (so when we make d final pass, it doesn't get wasted), uses both legs to shoot on sight, with good accuracy... playing Sanchez, who is not very good with his back to goal as a 9 is useless and though fast, holds on to d ball a lot tryn to get d best angle to shoot... we need a striker who is very intelligent with d timing of his runs... too bad Walcott is as intelligent as a sheep, cld have been d perfect cf...
Would Lacazette provide an upgrade on
Giroud's ability to shield the ball from
opposition defences, to come off the bench & have an immediate feel for the game to provide assists & goals, win headers
against the far more physical Premier League defenders?
Theo and
Giroud showed they are not meant for this kind of match
against this
opposition and
Giroud was just so frustrating to look at.
Moreover
Giroud will invariably miss key chances that would either put us in the lead or kill off
opposition and that is my biggest query
against him.
was it just me that was nervous everytime reading were attacking it made me realise how confident ospina makes me feel i hope he plays final ramsey on wing isnt as effective
against lesser
opposition we needed pace out wide (as when theo came on he caused problems)
giroud has developed into a world class forward on his day the team was lifted when was on alexis is a life saver win vs chelsea break the wenger - mourinho hoodoo, 2nd in prem and fa cup will be a fantastic season COYG
It should depend on the
opposition which players start,
against a Stoke City a player with pace like Walcott should start ahead of
Giroud because defenders like Shawcross deal easily with crosses but lack pace when they are turned facing their own goal
In my opinion arsenal best performance of the season in epl was because of 3 reasons 1 - very fast defence in the presence of gabriel 2 - elneny direct play and his 96 % accuracy He leaves sanchez, ozil and iwobi to do the job he just give them the ball ana cover them 3 - the absence of
giroud on the pitch,
giroud style of play doesn't make gaps in the
opposition defence and he also has a terribel pass accuracy and also no dribbling skills I think in his absence we had very good performance
against everton and watford
Also, I do not know how Laca will do
against teams that will park the bus to stop us scoring,
Giroud can do well (when in form)
against those teams, maybe we can play the
opposition better with more options to choose from?
Giroud may not be good enough to lead the line BUT he is good enough for Arsenal, he has a habbit of scoring when he hasn't played a couple games and I do think he has a role in the team
against the «bully boy»
oppositions who think football is Rugby.
GIROUD is slow, cant use both feet, cant turn to take a short and him being fat counts
against power to trouble the
opposition defence every target man does hold up play but they also fast you wouldn't know there do the hold up, as well the scoring does a great deal of covering it up as well.
I think the tactics of using Theo up top and bringing
Giroud to be physical
against a tired
opposition is our strongest suite.
