Welbeck really a better option than Giroud?

We have no real killers in front of goal if you know what i mean.

Chelsea - Costa
Spurs - Kane
City - Aguero
Liverpool - No real striker either.
United - Zlatan

Arsenal - Welbeck and Giroud lol.

First team to score 100 goals this season.

Our problem is not in the striker department, our problem is midfield. Without Santi we are hopeless and Xhaka is a liability. Elneny seems alright but is usually left on the bench while Xhaka makes dodgy tackles.

Welbeck had two serious knee injuries back to back. Give him time. Giroud is not suited to this system so is not the answer. Arsenal fans are in a viscous circle. Giroud plays, then he gets slated for being crap, welbeck plays then Giroud all of a sudden is the answer.

Also Dirty Sanchez-youre wrong to call Xhaka a liability. He's shown more promise than Santi in the middle though not his consistency. Still a young player and a player with his style gets better with experience. He's still young.

Yes that's right - consistently poor to average and makes rash challenges.

There are problems all over the pitch

There are and I believe the route of those problems is midfield. Midfield weakness is putting pressure on defence causing the defenders to make mistakes and there is not enough midfield creativity to bring the best out of the attackers. But hey I am no expert.

Unfortunately there is a group of marginal players in place, with a system that no longer functions well, and a manager whose best days are behind him. Sadly there are no easy solutions. Minor adjustments, such as juggling certain players or replacing a "star" who is leaving with a "star" who is arriving, would be similar to re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. A considerable overhaul, top to bottom, is needed to get HMS Arsenal fully upright again.

we need to go back to Sanchez up front and Iwobi on the left which brought us so much success at the start of the season. Wenger bringing in Giroud again disrupted our winning flow and GIroud true to form of the ast few years started off wel and then hit his wall of when fatigue sets in and bang, we hit rock bottom form again which is largely due to his influence. Add to that the lack of a decent centre midfield partnership and we're struggling for 5th, let alone 4th.

How about we try Elneny and Ox at CM

Ibrahimovic had a strange season of misses this season. He can be clinical one game and next game he can miss 7 decent chances and not score. Arsenal are actually one of the most clinical teams in the premier league this season. Man Utd I think are 18th and Arsenal are near 1st.

Omg I just found this website which I have never used before and it says Arsenal got best while Man Utd have 18th even though it's flawed as OG's can happen. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/chancenverwertung/wettbewerb/GB1

I always find it amazing pundits on espy fc say we would be mid table without him. Heck the main reason we are 6th and not 2nd or 1st is because he can't score when it matters from harder to miss chances. I think if Zlatan had Rashford conversion rate of last season he would have like 4x more goals.
