    Cavani's finishing is better than Girouds.

    I was gonna say... Give Girouds finishing to Cavani and he'd be even worse.

    Soo Wenger still cant get his **** together in November.

    When something like this happens every year the wise thing to do is prepare for it. Rest players when you can, prioritise certain matches and allow players extra recovery time between matches and training.

    Was'nt it Einstein who once said 'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results'.

    Think we need a reality check. We're unbeaten in 18 games and the last 3, despite all being draws, were against Spurs, United and PSG none of who are sh*te teams. This isn't bad folks. Once we get Santi back we'll go back to dicking teams again.

    Course, would be nice if we could figure out a system that works when he's not available as we look horribly disjointed as it is..

    Frankly the way the CL looks at the moment it almost doesn't matter whether you finish 1st or 2nd based on the tables. You know we'd get either Real or Bayern if we won our group!

    Isn't OG on a conversion rate of 81% this season?! <yikes>

    I understand we are all blinkered towards our team, especially during a match, but do you guys want to withdraw those comments. Ramsay was an absolute disgrace with his reaction, should have been booked for simulation. Cold light of day, surely you agree?

    Haven't seen that replay before and yes Ramsey shouldn't have feigned it like that, that is poor.

    However Cavani definitely took a swing at him and therefore had the ref seen it he could have gone,

    So in summary I am right :emoticon-0173-middl

    It is something crazy like that.

    But on a career basis Giroud is around the 15% mark and Cavani is close to 30%.

    What? How can OG have a conversion rate? PR was joking, surely?

    We're not talking about Rugby conversions.

    Conversion rate = Shots to goals.

    But og's are never intentional, a striker may scorer 1 in every 2 attempts, OG has made 0 attempts (hopefully).

    Haha. I know I post some utter sh*te but I was confused why you thought Giroud couldn't have a conversion rate. He's not that bad!

    On the subject of Cavani.

    He's one of those players the British press have never really given the credit he deserves.

    His record as a CF at Napoli was nothing short of sensational. (104 goals in 138 games)
    he moved to PSG he was played out wide to accommodate Ibrahimovic. Even so he was still scoring 25-30 goals a season out of position.

    Ibra is now at United, Cavani is playing down the middle and has 16 goals in 16 games. But most people in England are under the impression he's not efficient enough.. because the Skysport pundits say so.

    He is one of the best CFs is World football and has been for 6-7 years
