Giroud is an aesthetically pleasing oaf. actually what annoys me about him is his heading. Eight times out of ten he mistimes his jump when they punt it towards him. Hangs in the air, descends and then gets beaten to it.

Rubbish signing really! In the summer spending 15m (so extra 3m) could have got us Ba, Huntelaar or Michu. Giroud misses too many chances. Nowhere near as good as theo or podolski. Whatever happened to having strikers that know where the net is!!!
Trouble is once we put these Chamakh and giroud type players on the stage everyone can see so we can't get rid of them. We need to p,at behind closed doors with a TV blackout and beefed up security.
I don't think he's a rubbish signing, he's more than capable of doing a job for us. The problem is we don't need someone to just to a job, we need class. That chance today was bread and butter but it's not the first time he's fluffed his lines in that sort of situation. Brilliant at the "big number 9" work but we need a lot more than that because we're well off the pace.
Giroud was the cut price option we always take, a good player but nothing more and certainly not good enough to be the man we rely on for goals. Wenger is so cheap he never spends on quality and instead looks at the price before looking at what we actually need.
Giroud isn't the player we should have signed and is never going to be able to deliver what we need, buy a striker and stick Giroud on the bench for cameo displays when needed.
Someone should start questioning Wenger's transfer policy in interviews to see what he actually says because they're not delivering the goods.
what for, he'll just deliver the same non-committal replies he always gives. ever since he arrived at the club that has all he has ever said is the same thing, yet 16 years later people still look for clues.Quote:

Let 2 of the 3 of them play up top and have one drift wide like Henry used when the time is needed....
Wenger seems to over-complicate the game by playing players constantly out of position and forcing it...instead of changing the formation to fit the players we have on the pitch....VERY FRUSTRATING!
When I said I ask him, I meant grill him by countering his answers with facts about their performances, no more nice interviews where he gets asked simple questions without any comeback.Quote:

reporters would never grill because they like him and want to maintain their access.
the reporters stay just the right side of nice to get what they want in the long run - even down to how they rate players in games.
This is why we badly need a change of manager to implement some new ideas and raise the mood of the team. Wenget has spoken about using Barca as a blueprint but our style of play is nothing like theirs at all. We don't have the players for it yet we persist with the same old tried, tested and failed tactics. Chelsea fans were singing 'Arsene Wenger, we want you to stay' with good reason today.Quote:
