His second goal last night was world class and his general all round play 2nd half was very very good, he bullied them.
I agree with the above comments, he's a very frustrating player, though when he's on his game he's unplayable.

Hi second goal is what I want to see more off. Excellent touch to buy himself and shoot. Beautiful.
There aren't many better than him right now.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
It's all very good scoring goals like that, but the amount of times he misses bread and butter chances just isn't good enough, if he put those away he'd easily get 25+ goals a season, problem is he doesn't. He's just not top class and it shows, he's going through a hot streak at the moment but he blows hot and cold too much and will no doubt go on another long barren spell like he usually does.
Been with us long enough now and he's at peak age for a footballer, we need better than him, good backup for sure but not good enough for a number 1 striker at a top club.
Frustrating. Scores a beauty of a striker's goal but also misses a sitter.
Good thing about him is that he often scores in bursts, so hopefully that bodes well for Stoke and Chelsea.
Sorry - but it's harsh to knock Giroud given his goalscoring record. He suffers from not being 'world class' but how many such strikers are there in the EPL? Its rightly been pointed out that there aren't many strikers of Aguero's quality available, and IMO Giroud is not the weak link in this Arsenal team.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
I love Bif.
As has been pointed out before, if his name was Trevor Davies and he was an ugly cunt, he would be lauded as the greatest thing since Andy Carroll and his dramatics would be laughed off. He's a fighter who gets the shit kicked out of him every game, yet gets up and generally prevails over the trolls who wrestle with him all game. He's the premier old-fashioned English striker in the league. It's too bad for him that he doesn't look like an orc.
Much like Drogba, he seems to improve with age. And being a late starter in the game means he has a good few years left. No-one is saying that he's world class or the best striker for our needs, but he's one of our most reliable and robust players and for maximising his talent deserves credit. It's not his fault that Wenger didn't buy an elite forward or that Aguero is more talented.
I think he's OK at putting away bread and butter chances to be honest. He has the odd nightmare game and can miss silly chances but I wouldn't say that's my main gripe. He'd usually put away the sitter he missed last night. Poacher goals. It's the brilliant individual goals I'd like to see more of. Last night's was an example. Being sharp in the box and creating that extra space for himself with a touch of beauty and then letting a shot rip. I've seen too many occasions where he's attempt to control that ball and lay it off to someone else. It was good to see him take it on for himself and just lace it.
Not convinced and his goal record kinda supports that, he's not top class and never will be, he's not the type of striker that strikes fear in the opposition or who can singlehandedly win you a match, good back up for me, but just not good enough to be number 1 striker at a big club like us, we should have an aguero type player like we have had in the past with the likes of Wright, Henry, RVP etc we're crying out for someone who can put chances away when they come along and have been for a while.
He gets a lot of criticism because he's at a big club and doesn't convince anyone with his performances, far too hit and miss.
