    hold on, our dodgy defence once again costs us the points and the first and main talking point is about a player that scored two vital goals for us? if all you can see as a fan is complete and utter negativity then there is no point watching. why would you? the issue of him taking a penalty is on the list of concerns but nowhere near the top.

    why were we even in that position in the first place, because of giroud? we lose a two nil lead because of our striker? why analyse a game back to front?

    I doubt that, but either way the striker would take it as he's best qualified in terms of his skill set.

    Do you not think wenger has already mandated who takes the penalty? He seems to micro manage everything else.

    Think casting aspersions on giroud for this might be hasty. It was probably manager's orders, to be obeyed at all costs.

    Defence is sh*t everyone knows that, it has been for years and will always be under Wenger.....nothing we can do about that.

    But to pass up a chance to win the game when on a hattrick, that's another kick in the face.

    16 - This is Arsenal's worst start to a league season since 1982-83 when they had only 14 points after 11 games. Unprofitable.

    Lampard scores a hatful of goals in open play, he's not far off being a striker....he's also got a proven record.

    Totally different scenario.

    agreed

    cesc confirmed it i swear? its all preplanned.

    strikers should always always take a pen. i mean they're whole game is based on scoring from inside the box ffs.

    Arteta would IMO, be a odd decision if he has.

    Podolski would be the obvious choice (of course he was off in this case).

    no its not a different scenario. you said strikers are paid to score goals, and scoring from 12 yards is their skill set. yet now you say because lampard score some himself, he can take penalties ebcause he could be a striker. hes a midfielder, drogba a striker, yet midfielder took penalties. you have just shifted the goal posts to suit your arguement giroud is a bottler
