I don't even think they should be in the tournament, to be honest. Partially for political reasons but also because their country is in the Middle East, so I'm not sure why they're even eligible to compete in European football competitions.
Get your point but then there are other anomalies like Kazahkstan. Still, Israel are competing so we have to accept the situation. Want Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales to do really well, as at heart I'm a Celt!
Arsenal Action @arsenalaction 11m11 minutes ago Olivier Giroud got booed off by French fans in France's friendly win vs Serbia tonight, as he missed 3 chances in the first half.
The saddest part is even if he performs like that for us, he won't get dropped because we have no-one else to fill the CF role properly. (Not convinced by Walcott as a lone CF). Genius strategic move by Wenger there to not purchase any outfield players this Summer. I think I definitely speak on behalf of everyone when I say he genuinely does earn every penny of that £8m salary.
Because I'm not a grumpy **** and can see the funny side of this performance coming right after our discussion about Giroud! Everyone's so ****ing miserable on here! Always looking for an argument lol
There is no argument to be had, Giroud is not world class, and never will be....He does go on some good scoring runs sometimes, but he is not consistent, and will go on long runs without scoring goals, and it's also become common with him to miss clear cut chances which a top quality striker should be putting away. His performance with France is nothing new. And this is the guy expected to lead us to glory? Lol, and some people really do believe the **** that comes out of Wenger and this club, that we are seriously looking to challenge, right.....
For the treble of flops, . By November the title race will be over for us, (it already is), but by then it won't be debated. By February we will have our annual exit from the UCL.....We just have to see where the third flop will come from, most likely in the cup. And then when the season ends, it'll be LET'S KICK ON FROM THIS SUMMER AND GIVE WENGER ANOTHER YEAR.
I'm not going to have a go at Giroud as I like the guy. He has a good work ethic, good attitude and gives it his all. That's all you can ask for from a player. It's not his fault that he's not of the quality of say Henry, Anelka or RVP.
