A masterclass.

Rather have Giroud up front than Tammy anyday.

Healthy competitive environment created by Frank

He's a top pro,and is good for the team on and off the pitch according to Frank,what more can you ask?
Keep on learning Tammy.

Controversial but I don't think he has improved much if not at all. His game has remained the same.
Two factors which could explain his current form:
First, he gets better service. Chelsea are now packed with players that can create lots of chances like Havertz, Pulisic, Mount, Ziyech, etc.. So to all AFC fans who think we should have kept him. We are currently standing at the bottom of the table in chance created, so I very much he'd have been that prolific.
Secondly and like someone already mentioned, he is the super sub. Giroud can't play 90 minutes of football against decent and fresh CBs.
He needs to come on in the 60-70 minutes against tired legs and then he can win that half a yard to take his shot. Otherwise, he gets neutralised very easily.

Great to have on the subs bench as his heading ability always gives a plan B option if things are not going well

Droog, great to see your old post,you got it spot on.

How can we say Aubameyang was his replacement when Aubameyang been shifted out to the left wing 95% of the games he played.

It was Lacazatte who was chosen ahead of him and lets be honest that's looking like a laughable decision.

Giroud offers way more to the team even when he doesn't score and there's a reason why he's first choice for France while Lacazatte sits on his arris at home during the international break.

He isnt and never was good enough as a first choice CF for a top 4 team. His 3 month goal drought cost us the title in 2016 (with a bit of help from refs). Most league goals in a league season was 16. Auba is a massive upgrade. And how long was Giroud with us until his first hattrick, which by the way was after the 3 month goal drought in 2016 and only scored AFTER it was impossible for us to win the league.

Yep, I wouldn't want him to be our 1st choice either (even if he was younger), but as a backup I can't think of a player I'd rather have as an option up front?

Hindsight is 20/20 but you did miss a trick allowing him to leave so easily. As BO$$ said Auba's been stunted on the wing most of the time so he'd still have been 2nd choice CF effectively.

He'd be perfect as a back up option, not his fault we kept him as first choice for so long but he took a lot of unfair criticism at Arsenal. Selling him on the cheap and spending 50m on a downgrade in Lacazette was a big mistake in hindsight.
