The damned annoying thing is he didn't fail by much, that Eduardo year...we really should have won it that year and had we done so it would have been his greatest achievement. If only he'd swallowed his pride a bit, kept that side together and spent to strengthen - he didn't need to break the bank, a couple of decent players would have done it - we could have pushed on

nice work letters. i change the title and still the same shite.
Are you new here? ™
Not sure why this guy is getting a hard time to be honest. Granted his goal return could be better. However he gets in good positions, has good hold up play, great link up play and is involved in the game constantly. He looks fairly dangerous and is constantly asking questions of defenders. I would be more worried if he was contributing nothing. His all round play and positioning is good enough to suggest that the goals will come. I think he has been unlucky too where he has had shots blocked with legs etc where on other days those fly in and instead of netting none he could have had a brace. Think he has done enough in his first season to suggest he has a bit about him and given the right service he will get goals
Yeah I dont mind him either. Clearly not in the same class as some of our previous legends, but better than a lot of the dross weve had over the years too. I think he'd be great as a back up striker or to go that pundit cliche 'Plan B'. But we do need a top top top striker still, a proper goal scorer.
He had a 'mare on Sunday but at least he was involved in plenty unlike, say, Arshavin who came on and added nothing at all.
He ain't RvP but not many players are, he's ok.
Out of interest, how many better strikers in the league can you name?
This is not a leading question. I am Giroud agnostic.
He was only really given one chance, that shot that went just wide early on. He had a header later on that Cahill did well to defend.
That shot aside, he did well vs. chelsea. He makes a big difference to the side because he's an outlet, you know if you play the ball into him that he'll hold on to it.
I like him.
