Our midfield aren’t creative enough but we have double the problem when we have a striker like Giroud. Sometimes he’s too static, his touches aren’t good and his shooting is very erratic and poor at times. He’s also very slow and can never out pace his marker. We need improvements in both areas.Quote:

He's not clincal.
Tbf, he doesn't miss more chances than the typical striker. Just that we produce so little chances, that he can ill-afford to be wasteful in the slight.Quote:

That's true but I wouldn't back him in a one-on-one with the keeper.Quote:

If we had had more talent elsewhere, Giroud's season would have been hailed a success. he's performed far better than the likes of Rooney; Torres and Cisse to mention a few. We suffer because we are generally lacking in creating chances these days.Quote:
