10 out of 10 for effort from everyone but............ The players must look at them missed sitters from "the big french blouson " and think............mmmm he aint gonna make it. Ramsey . man of the match ...........yeah read that again ....credit where its due. Well played Mr Ramsey.
Giroud has to take to responsibility for not taking his chances tonight. I like what he offers the team, but we need a clinical striker in his postion
I will admit Giroud shouldn't play up on his won and I think with a clinical frontman that combo will be deadly however some people going OTT with the criticism
Fourth is technically still in our hands, as Chelsea and Spurs have to play each other. After Man Utd, this was our toughest game, so at least we get it out of the way. Fulham away is hard to analyse, because while they are a good side, they do not have anything to play for.
He holds the ball up. Thats it. One ****ing party trick and wenger deems him worthy. Wenger's teams and strategy rely on world class CF's, no world class CF means things don't work well.
He's good in the air, his knock downs and flick ons can be useful but his finishing and first touch is woeful. Great second choice striker, but not good enough to start.
He holds up the ball ? serious ? Ive never seen ANY player hold up the ball LESS than him . I dont see that at all .
I think i saw him do it once. Also, i forgot, he does the occasional flick to play someone through, but i'm not sure 1 moment of good is worth 89 minutes of ****.
Giroud does more than just hold the ball up and make knock downs, if you actually watch all of his play. He also feeds short balls onto runners and then gets himself into goal scoring positions. He's doing all the right work for a striker to create chances for himself, the trouble his he just can't finish at the moment.
It's hardly his fault, that Wenger made him our first choice CF, so little point in abusing him. He just does not have the required quality to be the CF for a club like Arsenal. But, he is good enough to be part of our squad because he has shown that he does some qualities. He scored 17 goals for a start and can link the play well in tight areas.
