And it is a few goals. Bar those two gifts against Southampton, his late goal against Palace is his only league goal since September 14. So he scored in the first 4 games and thats his lot since.

And Ozil saved his bum by finishing after he made an utter cock-up of that chance. Bendtner would have fancied that chance.

Girouds run his race for the season. Hes done. A new striker couldnt come quickly enough.

Yep, and I see a worker who is ultimately pretty blunt who doesnt possess a single attribute that quality defenders would be worried about.

Tidy flicks around corners does not equal superb.

What the fook word would you use to describe Suarez and Aguero then? You leave yourself nowhere to go when you are a slut with your tongue. Save words like "superb" for those that deserve :wave:

GP :haha:

Shown up by a pub poster.

You have to take fatigue into account with Giroud. The guy works as hard as anyone on the pitch and is constantly putting his body on the line while fending off scrote pub team CBs who get away with a lot of shit. Doing it every three days has taken its toll on him and he has played the full 90 minutes for a lot of those games. I'm surprised he can still stand let alone play football.

We do need competition for his place though. It might be hard to find someone in January but a short term option is fine as long as we invest in the summer.

You said you'd be on good behaviour from then on, so do so.

I like Giroud but he's not at the level of a striker who you can see winning us the title.
This side + Suarez or RVP would win it, IMO.

He should have been one of the more fresh players. Everton played midweek with the same line up against Utd and we had players that started against Hull midweek. I just think he failed to take his chances and it’s hard to blame fatigue. Arteta, Wilshere and Gibbs also had off games but were rested during midweek. It’s really hard to assess the effects of fatigue from our viewpoint.

Why can't people accept that sometimes you play a game where you're a bit under par, and the opposition are bang on form?

We got a draw against the form side on the league, and in a way, we were a very good individual goal away from a win. The draw was a fair result, and a decent point.

This micro-analysis is a waste of time, as there wasn't a great deal wrong, aside from being a bit off the pace....

You drop points during a season, whether you end up as Champions or not. Often, the difference in these ones is not losing, as apposed to not winning.
