I like Podolsk, but when he's been given chances down the middle he's been mostly shit. As for Bendtner, I saw him live against Hull and he was worse than anything Giroud has served up this season.

Giroud is a decent player and would be ideal back up to a top class striker. He's had an ok season but its not his fault Wenger has played him 90 mins every week, even when its clearly not going for him. He's had 2 shockers in a row which has cost us (particularly tonight) but I blame Wenger for neglecting this area of the squad, not Giroud.

What we're severly lacking is pace. Both out wide and up front. Its killing us.
