Not pointing the finger at him because everyone has been poor but if we're talking about dropping players then surely he is one of the logical candidates? I don't see the point in just persisting with him because "he'll come good", of course he'll score goals again but by the time that happens could it all be for nothing?

Besides I think Giroud has always reacted well to being dropped. To his credit he always comes back firing.
Exactly. Just persisting with the same system that has ruined our season makes no sense at all. 10 games without a goal would see any other striker in the league dropped. Throw in Welbeck and try something different, or Sanchez even. Giroud was dropped at the start of the season and he responded very well.
