Is Giroud capable of scoring those two types of goals? I know its hard to envisage a situation where he is afforded that much room but if he were to find himself in those situation would you have faith in him putting away those chances like the Brazilian enforcer?
P.s You can't fault his efforts though, I feel he needs to bring a bit more composure to his game. He looks like a man in a hurry.

No, he is a poor finisher. Can't recall him ever scoring after taking more than 2 touches of the ball anyway. Most his goals need to be on a plate for him.

Wilshere has got the most stick out of anyone this season on this site anyway.
In January it's near impossible to get a top quality striker in. Just got to hope that Podolski is back. A front three of Pod Giroud and Theo is pretty clinical and complimentary to each others style of play.

To be honest, it seems like none of our players are capable of scoring from outside the box.
Probably Cesc and Denilson were the last 2 midfielders we had who were decent from range.

Santi and Podolski definitely are, Ramsey has this season.

Ramsey, Rosicky, Wilshere, Theo , Poloski are players who come to mind without too much thought who can score from outside the box and even Giroud had that shot against the post/bar the other day

All of those are extremely average from outside the box imo.

Giroud has given the side more this year than Wilshire,but don't hear you all wacking Wilshire

Wilshere was dire yesterday, i believe we also agreed on the match thread that subbing Flamini was a mistake. Wilshere should have come off, no doubt.

Him vs Sunderland on Ozil's debut immediately springs to mind.
His first goal vs coventry was one touch as well wasn't it? I can't really remember, but he can definitely score one touch.
