    His pass across the defense that was meant for Arteta could easily have allowed them to score. He did enough to have an above average day though.

    Now you're just trolling. Oxo was one of our better performers. And Giroud nearly cost us the 1st goal.

    Yup, Diaby and Walcott were our worst players today.

    I'd say our best players were Oxo, Koscielny, Mertesacker and Monreal.

    Giroud played a part in both goals and did ok with the service he got.

    Please tell me what exactly Oxo contributed except giving the ball away?

    Giroud's lay off for the 2nd goal was superb.

    Sorry if it seems that way. I'm not miserable. Look at my earlier posts. I reckon we're got a good shout for 2nd place.

    To say Oxo was rubbish is s bit strange. i saw 2 attempts rattle off the woodwork , so thats , what , two attempts on goal more than our supposed striker.

    Giroud seems only to be able to hit a barn door with a banjo , and not much else.

    Giroud and Walcott -Anonymous today .

    Im dissapointed with Giroud.

    Take a PROPER goalsmith like TH14.

    He will MAKE goals from nothing.

    Giroud is just an opportunist striker.

    He has to be in just the right place at just the right time or its a big fat zilch.

    2 efforts on target, caused problems for swansea's defence etc. He was better than Theo at least.

    It certainly seems like I am in the minority here, so I will reserve further judgement until I have watched the game again on football first tonight.

    Don't recall him having 2 shots on target though.

    Oxo was bad but Diaby was ok?

    I actually quite like Giroud, but we do need a top class centre forward. Unfortunately the Thierry Henry's of the World don't come along very often.

    I would still keep Giroud as a plan B or 2nd choice striker though. Much better than Chamack or Park.

    Well he hit the crossbar twice, so maybe strictly speaking they weren't on target...

    And how many people are of TH14's standard? Virtually none. Most strikers are opportunistic in case you didn't notice. Anyway I though he did alright, wasn't great but wasn't terrible eitheir. And as someone said he did get the assists (saving his original mess up) and he freed Ramsey for the 2nd and he played a fantastic ball to Theo in the 1st half that Theo should have scored

    Hitting the bar is a shot off-target. :emoticon-0110-tongu

    We were hopeless.

    Unfortunately for you lot, we'll more than likely succumb to Spurs as well.

    At least with Wales walloping England in the rugby the weekend has not been a complete disaster.

    IDK. Spurs have leaked 7 goals in 2 games, and Swansea away is a tough fixture for anyone. Can see you lot nicking a draw
