He scored goals yes, but that's his job which up until now he's done badly, hopefully he'll kick on from here.
Yeah and if he had taken the pen and missed, you'd be calling him shite and saying how Arteta should have taken it, because he used to for everton.

Your being a bit our of Order on Giroud. He was MOTM for us today. Blame the guy who missed it. Like been said before sometimes you score them, sometimes you don't it happens.

Scoring that pen would have been papering over the cracks.
