I don't blame Giroud for have very little talent, or Mert for being slower than my grand mother, or Flamini having the control of a 2 year old in a bumper car, or Sanchez getting injured when he is played whilst being burned out, or Cazorla for getting injured and left on the pitch playing with knee ligament damage God knows prolonging his return date by how many weeks.

Giroud can't dribble, he lacks speed, he can't create goals out of nothing by himself, he misses sitters, and there is no way we can win the league with him alone upfront, most annoying of all is his body language on the pitch makes me mad as hell sometimes.

I know Olivier Giroud well, it'll be nice to come up against him on the pitch.

obviously I would prefer to have a much more suitable alternative in the defensive midfielder positions but if they focused more on defensive end and the occasional long - ball, this would allow Bellerin and Sead ample opportunities to bomb forward on their respective wings while still having enough cover to maintain their defensive shape... it would likewise allow for overlapping runs on both wings, thereby letting both Sanchez and Perez to cut inside and get shots away in and around the top of the box with their most dominant feet... if goals were needed I would sub Bellerin for OX and bring Ramsey in for Elneny then switch to a 3 -2-4-1 (more of a 3 -1-5-1 with Ramsey playing higher up the pitch) and I would only use Giroud as a sub when the game dictated it for tactical reasons... this would allow us to be a high energy team with incredible link - up play and a much more direct approach in the offensive end

Exactly, the ones who don't look like they have the weak mentality get sided out for no reason, Sanchez was scoring for fun when he was free to play in the centre and the wings, but he was outshining Giroud so the manager restricted him, Ramsey was scoring for fun when he was allowed to shoot outside the box and had players supporting him at the back but now the manager tells him to play Cazorla role instead, when Ox was new he was dribbling past City defenders for fun but then he was benched for Walcott who can't even dribble past one defender, now we have Campbell who always impresses on the pitch but the manager benches him for a player with no confidence.

Arsenal currently have 2 positions which are weak links on the pitch striker (Giroud n walcott) n right wing (rambo) all 3 are in the wenger «faves list» so regardless of how they play are more less undroppable.

There is no doubt in my mind that the most disastrous decision we made during the past calendar year, up to and including the most eventful January transfer window in recent memory, was not the Sanchez debacle that saw him off to Old Trafford, which will forever be considered a failure of epic proportions, or the selling off of Ox to Liverpool following a thrashing less than a fortnight earlier, or even the triangular clusterf * ck that saw Giroud head to our crosstown rivals in the 11th hour, but the re-upping of our manager after another tumultuous and cringe - worthy campaign both on and off the pitch.

The continual experiment of Cazorla on the left side of the pitch most be stopped, play him behind the striker and let him do his thing, he should have been building his confidence back while Ozil was out in that position, if you (wenger) wants jack to play so much, let him play behind giroud and bench cazorla, but this experiment must stop allow, Campbell, ox or Gnabry to show themselves in that position, even RYO and COQ would do a much better job on the left side of the park.

4) We need players this summer as simple as that and across the pitch, ready made WC caliber player: CB, DM, ST we can't continue that way and it showed (Coquelin has done fantastic but as I said a few times on other articles a few good games is not enough and this is he's 1st mediocre game - inexperience) 5) Misfiring: chances we get but we fail to convert and put ourselves in a commanding position and that has happen so many times it seems we never learn: Welbeck and Giroud should've done better can't expect Özil, Cazorla and Sanchez even thought he can score to do it (Aguero or Suarez would've put that game to bed with all the chances in the 1st half)

Call me optimistic but I believed the injury problem will get better next year, the signing of the new American physio must be the second best signing we made this season (behind Sanchez of course)-- our players are getting back from injury faster (Giroud), fitter (Ozil), found root causes of recurrence problem (Ramsey)-- and even Diaby managed to spend some good minutes on the pitch

Another observation is that Sanchez hardly scores or does not score enough with giroud on the pitch.
