As for Giroud, he's really not cut to be an Arsenal striker coz I've never seen him running with the ball and taking on opposition players and score a goal ala Henry.

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?

So i think Walcott is a fantastic winger (when he is fit) but he will not be a good number 9, As a striker he becomes a one trick pony, running of the shoulder of the defender drifting into the spaces looking from the through ball from ozil or carzola etc..

if u hv noticed his runs off the ball and the way he face the goal rather than showing his back and trying hold game he plays as outright striker... and walcot is injured so he cant play upfront for time being and abt alexis to be honest i hv not seen him play as a striker much... and as of now we hvnt sign a new striker..

As Alan Smith recognises, Lucas has the ability to drift in and out amongst the defenders and the Spaniard's flexibility to also play on the wing, means that he has a very good idea about what kind of runs the wingers will want the striker to make.

He can score 30 goals a season but still i don't think that we can win league with him... When he scores only he scores, but Arsenal as a team doesn't look dangerous, I really prefer a dynamic kind striker like welback, Who can make runs from behind the Strstriker like welback, Who can make runs from behind the StrikerStriker...

At one point he got a run of games as central striker and did OK IMO if you include the additional dimension his speed gave Ozil and Sanchez.

Giroud has always been good when he has a challenger for his position eg talks of a top quality striker joining last season.giroud is also very important for Ramsey as he allows him to run in behind.

Jesus... Ramsey is the most backward and lateral passer of a ball I have seen in a midfielder and that's when he has control of the ball which is not that frequent as his close control is hardly a strong point... So that leaves running in to box scoring occasionally and then believing he is a striker... Like I said attributes of a bench player

It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

I just don't know what's wrong with Arsenal fans.Sure I get it as humans we all have our preferences but things start to look funny when we begin to bash and criticize a player like he's useless.I just don't get why Arsenal fans do nt want Vardy.Oh is it because he's not world class, he's English, He's not a big name, he's a fairy tale, you feel all he does is run, he's not got a better history in footballing until now or you feel Giroud is better or what?I really pity Arsenal fans honestly.I would've taken Jamie Vardy in a heartbeat.Sure he's not the best option out there.But I'll say this and say it again it's not a world class striker that wins you a league but rather just increases your chances of winning the league.If you've watched Arsenal clearly from the time since Henry left you realized that it's more of not being able to find a clinical striker.Eduardo was not a already a finished product when he started his career here yet he was clinical and was on world class form until injury.What Arsenal need now is a world class finisher if they can't get a world class striker.

I know there's no wingers in this team but I believe theo can do well with a partner through the middle, Ox's future is at CM / CAM so he can still be an influence off the bench in this system, Podolski is a CF so he would flourish playing off a partner like Giroud or Sanchez as St, Ozil also playing as CAM which we all want, he's got guys behind him who'll make runs into the box and also pacey strikers upfront to pick a perfect pass which he does best

I agree Lacazette is the quality striker we crave I hope he can be as momumental as Ian Wright, Henry and hits the ground running stepping up like griezmann did for athletico as he wasnt that profilic for real sociedad but smashed it a AM.

Serie A — 2777 mins, 15G, 13A La Liga — 981 mins, 10G, 1A Champions League — 1461 mins, 8G, 6A Euro's — 3 goals in 4 apps... And these numbers (recent spain performances aside) he's put up as the clubs 2nd or 3rd choice, and hasn't really been given a consistent run to find the form and confidence that strikers run on.

Quick notes on arsemal team 1 - paulista is not good as i though 2 - coquelin is essential in arsenal midfield to give stability but he can't hold the ball in his feet or give the right pass in the right time so we can't dominate teams anymore especially with santi absence 3 - ramsey = horrible, just a headless chicken running everywhere 4 - ozil could have easily 30 + assists by now 5 - Olivier Giroud the handsom french guy shouldn't ever be a big team first choice striker 6 - where are the 4 world class strikers that wenger said we had i didn't se anyone of the yet

lst season at stamford bridge, was the first time i saw that 4 -1-4-1 formation being used, and for some weird reason i feel a very strange negative vibe and well all know the outcome.the manager has come back with this formation and its not yielding result, but he still sticks with it.i do nt know much about formations dear friends, but if you are playing a slow dm in arteta and a very very slow cb, then you are toast against quality teams with sound tactics.wen playing wellbeck as a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTas a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTAS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTS.

Liverpool had not beaten Chelsea in eight previous matches, but as striker Christian Benteke effectively ended that run of futility with a lead - doubling goal in the final minutes of the match, the Reds were quick to rub salt in the wounds of embattled Blues manager Jose Mourinho.

With him being the main striker, but being saved the whole hustle and bustle of big CBs only to make the right run and sneak in with a goal when neccesary, only that he doesn't offer the defensive cover Ramsey would and wouldn't stretch the opposition anywhere near as much as the Ox would if you need him to keep a fullback busy.

A quality Striker such as Podolski does not need to back track and defend, he must challenge the Defenders and wait for counterattacks, a striker role is to sprint from midfield to goal, is not running all over the pitch as I see GIROUD and WELBECK, defending posts against corners, no wonder at the 60th minute they disappear, you need strong legs to scStriker such as Podolski does not need to back track and defend, he must challenge the Defenders and wait for counterattacks, a striker role is to sprint from midfield to goal, is not running all over the pitch as I see GIROUD and WELBECK, defending posts against corners, no wonder at the 60th minute they disappear, you need strong legs to scstriker role is to sprint from midfield to goal, is not running all over the pitch as I see GIROUD and WELBECK, defending posts against corners, no wonder at the 60th minute they disappear, you need strong legs to score....

so since 2005, arsenal first needed two major running wingers, both rigth and left, and one super attacking midfielder, and even rambo as striker can give goals.

... 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...

We need to change some players, even if they are good players to make our game more dinamic, more complete.If Walcott will leave, definetly Sterling is the right choose to play with Sanchez.If Bayern will want Ozil, I think we should let him go.I think mutch people will be not agree with this, Ozil is a great player BUT is not a complete player, doesn't have enough speed and is seems sometimes like he is not involved in the game.I think a switch with Gotze can be benefic for our team, he run alot, is creative and make the defensive as well.We need a Striker to, but a good one, someone like Benzema or Cavani, someome who can get at least 20 goals per season.A new DM is what we need for balance the game, I think Vidal is the best in the world in this moment (is just my opinion), he working hard in defence and can win a game with a long shot.This is the way I see footbal.

Despite adding Michy Batshuayi to the group, it appears as though Conte wants Costa at his disposal this season, and with Atleti now seemingly out of the running to sign their former star, the former Juventus and Italy boss has got his wish and will look to get the best out of the striker after a disappointing campaign last time out.

Playing Walcott as our striker will give us a different dimension, we will b tearing teams apart wid a front 3 full of pace trickery and goals, our attack will become very dynaminc, we will b hitting teams on counterattacks (giroud always slows d play because of his speed) and our midfield will flourish as Dey will find it easy to provide running passes and thru balls.

We should've let his contract run down to the final year, instead we had 3 seasons with Giroud as our only striker.

Even our own match against Basl this week was touched by fortune, as the run of the ball went perfectly for Lucas Perez on his first two goals, while a similar incident when the ball rebounded off Ospina fell perfectly for the keeper to gather ahead of the unlucky Basel striker.

And Walcott has not even had an extended run in as a central striker and yet the jury is already out.

Danny is a 15 minute player, after 15 minutes of each game he just disappears and all he does is run, close down, lose passes, he just does not give much as a striker, we down talk Giroud but he gives us more than danny, he will work hard, assist, score sometimes and bring this team mates into play... Welbeck has got the worst link up play ever, his first touch is so bad, whenever the ball gets to him we know it won't stick and that means he will be chasing down the ball due to his poor first touch.

However, Theo can learn all of these traits, he has been selected as an out and out striker for Arsenal for only a few months (the tail end of last season and the beginning of this) And after 8 years playing RW it is going to take him time to adapt to CF.. The runs involved are different, the overall responsibilities are different, he will now get the ball in different positions than he is used to, and even different sorts of passes than he is used to, this will take time and patience for him to adapt.

we couldn't score against west ham and some of the matches we won, we won with own goals, so the problem eased when walcott was introduced as a striker and it also brought out Ozil's form as we had a free flowing attack with Ramsey on the right... So imo, we should just play Coq and Elneny and shift Ramsey to the wing, our attack wil be so unpredictable and free flowing add Bellerin's overlapping runs, no way would leceister cope with d movement of walcott, sanchez and ramsey ± bellerin... we press them hard and score 2 quick goals, then later we bring in the Ox and Giroud to kill them off....

Welbeck needs to be give a decent run in the team as a striker before fans can start judging remember he played out on the left for a majority of games for man u and got very little chance to play as a striker hence thats why his goal scoring record looks nothing special but that can change with us he has good pace technically very good and i personally think he will do a good job just give him a chance!

When I play in defensive midfield I don't really have to run as much to mark players, so marking a striker at centre back is a lot more physical and has been a new experience for me.

Can't you see, he killed our game today, because he couldn't run, nor take on one or two players, gave Sanches, and monreal a lot of work to do, valensia was just free, we need someone who can run and driddble someone who is effective in every position, maybe isco, payet, Reus.Giroud is very good, ilike him, as a back up striker, but we deserve a player who scores atleast 25 30 goals a season, someone like Auba, Dembele, lewa, Aguero, kane, I think we deserve more than what we're getting,

As long as we have limited talent Ramsey starting every game and running like a headless chicken thinking just how to score (and while doing that his non stop in a way ofour strikers) we would be pooAs long as we have limited talent Ramsey starting every game and running like a headless chicken thinking just how to score (and while doing that his non stop in a way ofour strikers) we would be pooas we have limited talent Ramsey starting every game and running like a headless chicken thinking just how to score (and while doing that his non stop in a way ofour strikers) we would be poor.

He is making good late runs through the box as well, but there is an issue with so many midfielders and no natural strikers that can occupy the central defenders and make the early runs.

The little Mexican striker was prolific before he arrived at Old Trafford but, despite scoring regularly as a super-sub, Ferguson rarely gave him a run in the starting line - up.

If you are going to use Xhaka as a DLP to spray long passes behind the defence then you need to have a pacy forward who can make those runs which we lack (Theo is not a striker).

Maybe if we had better midfielders, our strikers won't need to run around as much?

Best tell that to the Chilean football coach and tell them that his good run in the WC would have been better if he hadn't played Sanchez as a CF.. While you are at it tell it to his coach at Udinese, where he also played striker and playing from that position was voted «most promising player» in 2010.

I said it repeatedly WENGER and fans alike criticize PODOLSKI for not running across the PITCH like a headless Chicken thus call him LAZY... well Football as I know it, should have a point man a striker in the front... WTF are GIROUD and WELBECK playing defense for, yes they ran after every Ball and then at the 60th minute they are done....

And modern football requires dynamism as those kinda strikers will sometimes face parked defences and their running behind will be useless thus making ozil less effective....

90 % of the problem this season is having Walcott up front as a striker and giving him an extended run while we keep taking heavy hits.

Monreal basicly a fb, become cb Kolasinak basicly a fb, became wing back Xhaka basicly a cm, became deep lying playmaker Elneny basicly a cm, became dm, or cb Oziel basicly a am, became winger Sanchez basicly a winger, became stiker sometime Coqelin basicly a dm, never use him, last time hes playing, he became cb Nelson basicly a winger, became a wingback What else... Welbeck, sometime a winger, in other day is astriker Ramsey, well, he running all the field like a bambi Walcott, who already give up to be striker, mybe he also give up as footballer.
