He's probably the best target man in the league for touch, and ability to hold the ball, and lay it off quickly.

But he is quite clearly in a poor state of mind at present, and he isn't performing well.

Yes, we need better, and yes we need a mobile striker, but the critisism of Giroud is beyond a joke, given how hard he has worked on his own this year. Gooners can be so snobby sometimes.
He's been shit and is shit all season bar a few games....awful awful striker only surpassed in awfulness by Bendtner and Chamack in recent times.
Constantly falls on his arse, shitty hold up play except maybe in the 12 yard box, zero pace, dont recall him striking the ball much etc...
