Klopp would make Maiga a ten
goal a season striker for us...: — RRB - I really do believe that Maiga is actually decent, being played in his prefered position and getting support from teammates, not having to feed from scraps as isolated striker with no teammate near him.

goals from our two games last

But we simply don't have the same quality all over the pitch or at least in 2 areas that could've made the difference: 1) The

for all his build up play, physical presence & occasional wonder
goal but he is not a 30
goals /
season striker a ruthless guy that will bury that one occasion.
Signed by Borussia Dortmund last

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?

as
for the league, giroud is a 13
goal per
season scorer, that is one
goal every 3 matches, he is a feature
striker, and this wont win anything unless you generate huge output from your midfield... by comparison, henry scored 27
goals in the epl when we won the league...
that tactic worked fantastically at the star of this
season where walcott performed and it worked brilliantly
for the team but after the injury of Theo, giroud had his dry patch and theo almost did nt even try... and the year before welbeck played reaaaally bad as a starting
striker and scored 4
goals or something i think, if he had one worldclass or equally good
striker as giroud, we would have enough and wenger could rotate them according to the patch / form of giroud like what he intended to do with walcott and giroud, which i had high hopes
for but sadly only worked
for half the

We need better though but I'm in full 100 % support of the purchase of Shkrodan Mustafi and Lucas Perez.Mustafi can help Koscielny now.I've been saying it here time and time again that it's not a world clsss
striker we have needed but a clinical finisher which we have lacked
for several
seasons and counting.Hopefully this guy puts Giroud where he belongs which is on the bench.Though a world class
striker is good what we have lacked is someone who puts the game to bed in clinical fashion but Arsene Wenger has listened to many people to the extent that if he can't get a world class
striker then he can get anyone.If Arsenal had a clinical finisher
for some five
seasons or so we coulda won the EPL then.Giroud has cost us matches and will continue to cost us matches.Giroud is half decent as someone said here the last time.I expect Perez to be much better if he can take on his man and be clinical in front of
goal.
The reality is, Giroud is a decent
striker, but we need ANOTHER decent
striker both to provide competition
for Giroud, and to provide more
goals over the
season.
