Giroud looked to do everything right in buildup play, but failed when it came to the money.
I don't see it as that much of an indicator, teams are more inclined to make sure they don't give space away this early on in to a season in comparison to later on in a season, especially in say Swansea's case when they had won the League Cup and it's possible their motivation wasn't as great as it might be if it was scheduled earlier.
