AKB's, AOB's, UTD and Giroud

Arsenal fans, as we know, are very divided...are we? I don't think we are, I really hate when that is said by anyone, arsenal fans like all fans of any team have the exact same intentions and desires, we all want the arsenal team to do the best they can every week, and as a club, do the best they can to make sure that happens.

I think one of the most debated things is about Giroud, some people hate him, some people like him, no one loves him, some people realise what he brings to our current set up and some people are just generally unhappy with everything. Im a fan of Giroud, Ive made that clear in previous, recent posts, but also mentioned that he needs to step up in the big games, and wow, he really let us down. he was so static, looked uninterested, tired, just a poor performance in general, a big let down. Ozil had a very bad game too, im also a fan of him and I think he has been good so far this season, but a gutless performance from him as well.

I hope the loss against liverpool gives us a bit od drive to do better like the loss against Bayern did last year, I really think are squad were on cruise control a bit mentally and maybe a bit of arrogance was our biggest problem, I really think (also means hope) we will do well against utd on Wednesday, some times a bit of a shock can make players step up their game.

Im really hating all this AKB, AOB nonsense, people putting up links to old posts to prove to others that 'insert name here' is fickle, come on! every one is fickle, especially after a bad result, people say stuff and have over reactions, that's just normal. why does the arsenal board turn in to a slagging off match after any defeat?

Im really looking forward to our next games, and I hope we step up a gear, and really prove people wrong, remember, only a point behind and plenty to play for. COYG

Slagging matches are usually caused by the usual suspects. Too many kids on this site which is the problem

I hate Arsenal no wait I love Arsenal but Wenger must go, no wait he wasn't....Giroud is shıt no wait he is good at holding up play and can score....what a waste of money for Ozil no wait he is world class and will come good, just look at his assists......

You can't really lay the blame on Giroud for his performances. We've all known what Giroud's strengths and weaknesses are. He's a strong lad that can hold up play and link the midfield. What he isn't is a natural goalscorer or a mobile forward in the mould of Suarez/Aguero, etc. Yet we seems to think that's what he should be doing. Making runs behind the line, cutting open the back four, opening up play with his blistering pace. It ain't gonna happen.

The person you can blame, and who holds ultimate responsibility, is Arsene Wenger. It's Wenger who seems to think Giroud can lead our attack in every game. It's Wenger who seems to think Giroud compliments our midfield. It's Wenger who seems to think Giroud doesn't need a rest, now and then. It's Wenger who seems to think there's was no need to strengthen the strike force, so that we might have a sniff of a title chance.

We've all had a go at Giroud during a game. Heck, i was shouting all kinds of insults at him during the last two games. But i would like to think that the vast majority of Gooners understand the limitations of Giroud and try and get off his back after each game.
