Not exact matches

Yes Giroud is not a 30 goal a season striker, but he does have his place, when we are struggling to get the ball out of our own half as a target man, and in set pieces, and defence, and he does score the odd goal from free play as well.

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 is a great option to have leading the line, as he can hold up the play strongly as well as score with either foot or his head, but to get the best out of him he needs competition, and that is what is expected from Arsenal this summer.

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.

I think he's on 17 or 18 assists now, despite regularly playing with the likes of Flamini, Ramsey, Ox, Giroud, Walcott and a really out of form Sanchez.

Reading the thread on this article and I noticed a lot of people naming strikers we could have gotten in past transfer windows that have gone to other club and failed, Balotelli, Falcao, Martinez, Boney etc are recurring names in all the comments, and am sat here thinking because they failed in thee clubs does not necessarily mean they would have failed if we had pulled out our fingers and hot them back then, Balotelli aside I strongly believe all of these players could have made a difference playing infront of our midfield and given the kind of attention and care Wenger gives Giroud and Walcott, adapting our play to suit them and giving them chances after chances even when its blatantly obvious they are average players so please lets not keep using that as an excuse for Wenger's ultra careful attitude in the transfer market, they could have failed with us, or they could have been massive for us, all speculations.

(3) formation flexibility — it took 20 years for Wenger to return to a back 3 and now he can't seem to choose anything but that formation... the teams in the premiership and those we could face in the Europa will present vastly different tactics and we need to have a manager who can prepare this squad for this eventuality and have the fortitude to make the necessary adjustments throughout the season... I have seen nothing in the past 6 - 7 years to suggest that he is the man to take on this challenge... I can't even remember when he changed formations when he would replace a small, pacy striker, like during the Walcott experiment, with the lumbering Giroud... of course this is exactly why there is no other manager in the world that plays more players out of their natural positions (square peg in a round hole)

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.

Giroud plays week in week out and gets a lot of flack as he's gone 8 games without a goal, yet theo who can be totally anonymous in games, then gets a little fortunate with every shot going in and scores a hat trick is suddenly a top quality striker?

@john0711 it's people like you I don't get.Do you know Chamakh may have been a worse player than Giroud but let's be honest Chamakh was a better finisher than Giroud.Even him was labelled as garbage.Can someone name a striker with exception of Gervinho (man he was awfully out of this world) who played for Araenal who Giroud had better finishing than.Giroud is to me part of Arsenal's worst finishers ever and please let's not deny it and note I considered only «finishing»..

The Gunners may have sorted out most of their problems at the back and eventually started playing with a defensive midfielder in Francis Coquelin, but Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott aren't really good enough up front to lead you to the title

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.

Now with Giroud out for 3 months Wenger wont be able to play the lone striker upfront as we don't have a player of that quality, so what happens now,

All this silly little passing, no one getting in the box, giroud playing out wide for most of the game!

Want to hear from all those arse licking football idiots drooling away on this website over a bunch of friendly victories... So I'll say it again mert is a liability Ramsey and giroud are good bench players and we need a world class dm... Oh and a new manager... Endlessly playing out of position... Same shit year in year out with this guy it really is... Even if we win if this guy thinks he has a winning team he is even more dillusional than I though and I wanted him carried off to funny farm 5 years ago

The problem is, we end up playing a game where Giroud might score an easy goal concealing the fact that he is still not good enough, but the Giroud lovers will come out of the woodwork again to defend him and the vicious circle continues.

Giroud's hold up play worked bcos (i think) Alaba already got tired keeping up wt Theo's pace nd Vidal was out of the game.

Ramsey is a central midfield player that rarely offers an above average performance and yet we choose to play him out on the wing ahead of the in - form Ox or letting Sanchez slot back out wide to let Giroud up front.

Giroud didn't look sharp from the beginning, when he inexplicably dribbled the ball out of play.

Lol giroud is still not the answer and let's not forget ramsy just came back from injury and played out of position

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.

2) No leaders across the pitch: Özil for all the money is no leader but a technically gifted player who can split a defense with an exquisite vision and pass, Sanchez for all the dribbles as the potential but is not there yet, Cazorla will never be in the conversation, Mertesacker is not fit to be one anymore, Coquelin for all the good he has done is too tender and inexperience, Giroud no WC player to assume the role... the only one who can seriously be a leader is Wilshere but unfortunately until he becomes consistent and set the tone with his talent and passion... 3) Mertesacker is a shell of himself and it would be an embarrassment to see him continue to play in his current form, get Gabriel out just for the sake of showing anybody in this team that there's no place for under performers: we paid good money to get him so play him!

Injury related with Giroud and Welbz out at the time but team was in by far best form of season with him playing up top.

no one ordered the man to build a strike force around walcott and giroud or to put a quid on suarez «s asking price or to bring in nogo and park (or perez for that matter) or to sell gnabry and play iwobi regularly or to have ramsey playing in every position bar goalkeeper or to take 7 years to work out how to get the best from Ox or to believe merteshaker was alright for the epl when he was way past his international sell by date or to forego a world class DM for 5 years and then plonk down 30 odd mill on an average swiss international or try out a series of makeshift right backs and hope bellerin would maintain his earlier form and fitness... stan n`chips and co are certainly a shocking example of contemporary football ownership but on the pitch its all down to wenger and his delusions

He blatantly plays cazorla out of place, sticks with Giroud, he knew TV5 was leaving all along, he knew Sagna was leaving last yr so he could've bought a CB and sold sagna then LOL....

We have seen enough of the hold up play week in week out what we want now is to see more game time to Theo up front before fans conclude that he is no better than Giroud.

The young Gunner was clearly feeling down after his part in the second PSG goal and the boss has suggested that he could maybe do with some time out of the spotlight, so it would make sense to play Giroud through the middle and Alexis Sanchez on the left.

May be one of the attacking 5 might have to be sacrificed for flamini, but with Walcott, chamberlain, cazorla, rosicky, Ramsey, ozil, giroud, campbell and alexis all fit and vying for a start it's going to be a hard call only playing 4 of them and an even harder call to leave 2 out from the 18 altogether.

so our midfield, with cazorla, ozil, wilshere and Giroud playing, we'll have 4 out of the 6 players that could go forward in the middle of the park, waiting for the ball.

Some fans seem to view «hold - up» play as a dirty word, but buying an extra few seconds for supporting runners (which in Sanchez, it's hard to ask for much more) and dragging a CB out of position Giroud does very, very well.

Giroud was totally out of sync yesterday but I would not write him off yet, remember the best chances were when we were 1 - 0 down so the haste had played a role (and luck if you think about Welbeck - Walcott incident).

Giroud had not played for 2 weeks and looked out of it to me.

Although the game is a dead rubber, Wenger has made it clear that he will still be playing his experienced reserves to give them a little more match fitness ahead of our congested fixture list in the rest of this month, so it is certain that our front line will consist of Wilshere, Walcott and Giroud again, although I expect Welbeck to be given a run out as well at some point.

Alexis gets chance to play as a CF for periods as Theo can drop out wide easier than Giroud, if Welbz is playing on the right then all 3 of our players could play wide and CF.. The hold up play Giroud is great at won't be needed so much as Ozil and Alexis can do hold onto the ball and then bring others into play.

Why play players out of position, chamberlains contribution was much more better than giroud for 70 mins wenger u deluded old fart

I wonder if the talks with Wenger are centred around whether he will get more chances to play as an out - and - out centre - forward, and if he can keep his scoring boots on all the way through to the Charity Shield then he could stake his claim to give Giroud some misgivings ahead of the new season....

schzney is rubbish, chambers is just potential, mertersacker rubbish, monreal played out of position but in his favorite position hes rubbish, gibbs rubbish he should be in his peak years now but hes rubbish and a downgrade to the likes of cole, clichy of recent times, wilshire has potential, ramsey has potential, chamberland has potential, arteta rubbish, cazorla has digressed, welbeck potential, giroud rubbish starter decent sub, the only 3 players i believe would get into any team in the world is alexis ozil, walcott and maybe koschilney.

Wenger made key decisions in choosing to leave out the likes of Cech, Giroud, Xhaka and Perez, with the Frenchman instead choosing to play Ospina in goal, who by the way had a great game despite the pre-match critics, and start with Alexis Sanchez up top.

I don't really blame any of those players at all, first mistake from Wenger was his team selection and secondly wrong players in a wrong position,, its quite sad with all their mouths and boasting of starting the season strongly and aiming for the league just a waste of energy and wishful thinking, am putting the whole blame on Wenger, where is Belerin, why Ozil, Cazorla played out of positions, you should know their weaknesses and strength as a coach, why must we pass and pass to score a goal, many opportunities came from shooting distance but the players will always be looking for the next person to pass the ball to, its quite unfortunate that a big club like arsenal is relying on a scrappy Giroud to lead an attack of a team aiming to win the league.

cazorla — great player, just as with wilshere always injured ramsey — needs to play like he does for wales week in week out if not next season upgrade welbeck — cant see what he offers and lacazette / giroud looks way better, lots of injuries, do nt forget man u did nt want him in the first place.

Welbeck came back from injury last cson and was in scoring form only for Wenger to bench him or / and move him out wide just to play a Giroud who was on a 20 - game draught and it made us rack up about 3consecutive draws and a loss which made us lose any hope of the title.

Oh yeah the domino effect of Arsenal transfers and there was me thinking that we got Auba for the handsome sum of money we paid for him, plus the fact that he didn't want to play for them, I wasn't in the negotiations so I couldn't tell you if they said we'll sell him to you as long as you sell Giroud to Chelsea, but yes it did pan out like the media portrayed it

He can hold up the ball when he is on form, he can bring others into play and IMO we should seriously consider the prospect of 2CF being a tactic so we can see the best out of Giroud alongside Lacazette.

i think giroud is playing out of his skin, boxing above his weight in fact.

The subs: Walcott, Welbeck and Giroud could play a significant part if and when Munich get tired of tearing us out a new one.?

He is a player constantly played out of position, much like Sturridge and Rambsey were, but once they were given regular games in their main positions... He certainly gives us something different to Giroud and will hopefully give Sanogo some time and pressure to improve.

i still hold the opinion the striker we use is dependent on the opposition we play, for all the brilliance of Alex he has been shut out in several games by pressing arsenal and letting us having to resort to long balls which he fails to get on to, if teams stops arsenal build up, they stop arsenal with sanchez as the forward, however with both Alex and Giroud on the field we have the opportunity to switch styles without making changes.

My real concern is up front, for the wide positions and cf we have a total of 5 first team players, Welbeck, Giroud, Walcott, Ox and Sanchez also Cazorla Ramsey and Ozil will play a game or 2 out wide but I really think we need either a winger or a striker, they don't even need to be out of this world someone like Mertens, Callejon, Pedro, Immobile, Llorente, Austin, Pelle would do.
