Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

Bergkamps Newcastle goal for me.

Which one? There were many. Same with Thierry. We've been treated to some great goals at Arsenal over the years.

But now we need to achieve a different but equally world class goal. Wenger OUT!

Yep that is up there as well.

Unique goals.

Always feel Giroud is massively under-rated by Arsenal fans for not being an "Henry" or "Aguero". There's a pretty big middle ground between that as being as hopeless as some make out.

You can blame Wenger for that. Should never have been RVP's direct replacement. Clearly not a plan A and a tier below the elite strikers but a good plan B.

When you've been blessed with the likes of wright, Henry, bergkamp and RVP then you suddenly drop to Giroud, it's expected.

He's pretty hopeless when he starts to be honest, decent sub though. Players who go 15 games without a goal can't be that great can they?

You are right that Wenger shouldn’t have relied on him for being our primary goal outlet, and he mainly doesn’t do well when we start because we don’t play in a way conducive to such a player getting goals.

I’m not sure if the stat still holds but a year ago or so he had scored more headed goals than any other premier league player in the time since he joined us.

His link up play is poor as is his overall movement especially compared to someone like Lacazette. But yeah he’s a good player to have in your corner to get his head on a hopeful punt in the penalty area. On top of that you get some absolutely lovely goals to boot.

No he’s probably not going to ever be considered a club legend, but when you consider the money we paid for him I think he’s been a very, very useful player who has been subject to far more abuse than he merits.

Should have kept Nick Bendtner. It all went downhill once he left.

Wenger is responsible for any abuse Giroud has got over the years because he lumped him with the responsibility of being our main striker. He's not good enough to be the main striker for a title challenging team and never will be. He's a good plan B or back up and that's what he should have been from day one.

That's right. We've needed Lacazette for years and Bif has been used to plug that gap. Wenger dithering around again, refusing to pay the going rate. We missed out on Mbappe because he wouldn't pay the agent's fees. Principled stand that conveniently and coincidentally (of course) kept the bank balance glowing.
