Besides, he's integral to our shape and the way we set up. He's done well.

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.
Definitely not, good squad player but not good enough to be leading the line out for us game in game out....i certainly want to see more of Podolski who i think is a much more clinical finisher than Giroud as evidenced by thursday's game at West Ham.
A striker in January is a must even if it's a loan signing
He started well but has tailed off, somewhat

All strikers have dips here and there but he needs to get going again. The goal vs Spurs shows he can get the odd goal in a tight game (Spurs defence was notoriously mean at the start of the season and that was a great goal), he needs to do it more consistently.
Also does anyone know when Ramsey and Ozil are back....Cazorla needs to be dropped he's just not playing well...problem is like all our midfielders he operates best from the centre and not being stuck wide left and he stinks at it.
Addendum: IMO the Chelsea game showed where he's not good enough. He had 1 really good chance and put it wide. I accept that will happen to any striker but really world class ones will get you that goal in a game like that where chances are few and far between. Like I said, he did it against Spurs so he can do it but not consistently enough.
Think his form will pick up again now that at least one of Podolski and Walcott should be around. He can only do good things where he takes one touch. With a few runners around him he can link up better.
That said he was also playing very well without Podolski and Walcott, and the team record shows that. With a bit of tiredness creeping in, the introduction of good goalscorers around him can only help him.

He's no good on the wing (Cazorla) and thought he looked best when moving towards the middle to link up with Rosicky. Wilshere was bad also. He wasn't playing at the right tempo a all game. Wenger may need to tinker with the side a little.
This.
Amazingly though (or not) it's a fact that has passed most GW's by.
Nothing wrong with Giroud, he's just dropped in form but he'll pick it up again soon.
No one will be comlianing when he's scoring again.
people are complaining when we are top of the league. they will be complaining even if he scores a hatrick every game. are you new here?
it was by no means an easy chance though.
For a start he had to hit it on the bounce, normally yes, a top striker would have hit square and to the left of cech, but he also had to hold off a defender and, the main factor, the conditions were atrocious.
Stupidly high winds and the rain probably contributed to him not striking the ball square on.
I guarantee if he was setup like that again in good weather he would have scored.
Normally I would agree with you to some extent but on this occasion you have to say that the conditions are very likely to have played some part in that miss.
