So its enough technical quality there to set up another players. He isnt word class and never will be but good enough in this overall weak team to play his role.

He has 0 technical quality. When was the last time his first touch went where he wanted it too? i can't remember.

Poldi did more damage in his 10 minutes today than giroud did all game.

girouds pass %. 64%. great link up play.

Podolski's? 84.

you say giroud creates for others? 3 assists this season. poldi has 9.

Giroud has 13 or 14 assists. Not sure where you got 3 from.

3 in the league.

And he doesn't have to get a direct assist to create for others anyway, only an idiot would think like that.

Why are you going by league stats alone? There are other competitions you know. Limiting it to 1 competition shows how weak and pathetic your argument is.

Poldi did more damage in his 10 minutes today than giroud did all game.

To prove that right he should have scored not only one goal. He missed two good opportunities.

I wont discuss with you about the OG technical ability because we would argue until next game at least. You hate OG and wont give him a further chance to prove you right in his first season. You gave Ramsey a lot more opportunities though and many more seasons at Arsenal.

Ofcourse not. But if you can show me one example of a hockey assist (That is what it is called when you assist, the assist) then that would be greatly appreciated.

And if you want to talk about hockey assists, just watch poldi play. Great link up play with out CAM's.

Also, seeing as you love stats so much and you say how accurate whoscored is, they gave Giroud a really high rating today. I'm sure you agree with that, eh?

Giroud will come good. Podolski too. Both would be far more effective in a 4-4-2, as would our whole team, to be fair.

because the league is the best way to judge players. who have we played in the cups? especially when girouds gets his assists? some fecking pony teams.

The league is all about consistency.

Giroud got a 9.4 rating on your favourite and 'accurate' stat site, Rev

Giroud won 78% of votes for man of the match on Fox Soccer. I actually thought it was a píss take

He was god awful today. I am not saying it for a laugh, he is genuinely getting worse every week.

In your opinion.

It's common knowledge in the footballing world that you go by a player's stats based on all competitions, not 1

"because he scored a goal."

exactly.

So much for being accurate, eh?

Giroud is possibly the only striker ever known who looks uncomfortable facing goal.

i know, you just made that point kam.

Why are you avoiding my points? why is girouds pass accuracy one of the worst in the league despite his great link up play and techinical ability? why does he only have 3 assists in 31 games if he is great at setting up for others?

What?

Giroud is possibly the only striker ever known who looks uncomfortable facing goal.

Adebayor?

For a man of his stature he should be far more imposing up front, I have still yet to see him 'bully' an opposition defence which is what I've been hearing all season he is capable of doing.

What will you impose when we hardly get the ball into the box. You dwell to much on the old Arsenal when we had Cesc to pass the ball with accurancy. He is not bullying? Well I think he did that very well today when it all matters (sometimes to hard and with a foul).

Anyway stop here now. Giroud is a player who devide this forum to an extend that isnt normal. I am happy we won the three points and that is all I am asking for. If Wenger decide to put in Poldi instead of OG I am happy too as long as we are winning these games.

holy sheet. Girouds shots per goal ratio is worse than suarez'. its 9.1

Yeah, and you haven't given me a proper response.

I'm not avoiding your points. I haven't said Giroud has good technical ability, not for months. I originally though he did. His passing stats don't reflect on his link up play. If his passing is poor usually, but he has good link up play, he's passing stats are obviously going to be affected by that...

And he has 13 assists, not 3. He's also created bags of other chances, you can check that pathetic stats site if you wanna know how many

when is he ever in the box? how many times today was he outside of the box when we needed someone running into the space the ball was played in? i lost count.
