36 games in, No one is in double figures. By this time last season both Giroud and Sanchez were in double figures.

Lacazette unquestionably looks a better footballer, but brass tacks he has not scored in 7 league games. The kind of form Giroud would be crucified for.

And value matters, for all the abuse we give Giroud the guy has been an absolute bargain for what we paid for him. No he clearly isn’t good enough to be the leading striker for a club at the level Arsenal claims to be, but supposedly Lacazette is and clearly isn’t delivering.
