A midfield that suits Theo will / may not suit Giroud and that's where the problem lies... I'm sure Wenger has something up his sleeves to have offered Theo and Giroud high wage contracts... For tough away games, e.g chelsea, play a double DM and

because of his physical presence and great hold up play, or even play both depending... All in all another DM is HIGHLY needed.

hit on the
counter, you will see him running back like he can catch up.
