He reminds me of Alan Smith, in size, stature and style of play....Smudger was more clinical though. Giroud has done brilliantly for us recently, just like Coquelin has but a lot of people can't seem to understand that playing brilliantly doesn't mean they are good enough.
Giroud will never be world class he doesn't have the pace, technical ability or composure.
Giroud has games where he is quite effective but I'm afraid he's lack of quality in front of goal is the actual reason we are out of the tournament. You bring in the comparison of Henry & RVP, do you honestly think they would have missed all 4 of those?
Its not his fault, he's simply not that good & Wenger bought him when we needed a proven finisher. If we are trying to compete with City, Chelsea, Bayern, Barca etc then simply ask yourself would he get a game for them. Like most of our players the answer would be NO. Until this changes the disappointments will continue.
When i mention the "4 of those" I am refering to the 1st leg.

You said those so called players never turned up when it mattered. You haven't come remotely close to qualifying that in any way shape or form.
