Giroud Discourse

[Boss]

Ba is clearly a much better finisher than Giroud and you'd be a fool to sign Giroud over him if you wanted goals. The latter seems to take 5 chances to score one, missed some real sitters today.

He's basically good enough to be a backup and nothing else, we need a quality striker to play regularly.

As of three games ago (can't find updated stats), Ba had a worse conversion rate than everyone's favourite 'clinical' striker Fernando Torres.

and imagine how many goals Ba would have scored playing in this Arsenal team with Carzola, Wilshire etc supplying him with endless chances.....

Yep.

Endless chances are a thing of the past.

In fact the chances are so rare, when one is missed, even if half a chance, it is blown up out of massive proportion.

Yep.

Endless chances

Talk to me after you've watched one of our games.

Sorry, who's played out of position?

[Marc Overmars]

Ah those heady days where we'd create multiple chances a game and sometimes even have more than 3 shots on target.

Your face

My face has the versatility to play anywhere.

The thing about the stats is they don't tell you where the chances were, how far from goal etc there's no context so they don't really give you a perfectly accurate picture of one players performance vs another.

We can talk about Giroud however as we've seen him miss a host of chances in matches, chance he should have put away.

Stats

I thought people would have stopped using those the minute it showed us having the best defence in the league a few months back.

so he converts more from less, gets more shots on goal and still manages to score 50% less than ba. sounds like a man at the top of his game.
