Giroud got his confidence back after coming off the bench to score goals. He's at his worst when he goes for an extended period without scoring.

Bad management of the bench meant we had no alternative other than Giroud. Someone else should have been coming off the bench to play as striker and if they find a hot streak it's much easier to bench Giroud. Instead, we're in a situation where all our strikers are cold.
