Giroud would be great at the half-time Crossbar Challenge at the Emirates.

Unfortunately.

The second goal certainly - lucky bounce after Per's tackle and the finish was easy. The first goal was class but he was afforded the freedom of the pitch.

Nah I reckon Giroud would kick his own foot and totally miss the ball.... oh wait.

You guys were bigging up Giroud only a few weeks ago. He's a good player. If you don't want him I'd take him at Liverpool.

Him Suarez, and Sturridge - we'd be set.

I'd drive him to Anfield for ya, then return to London with Luis

He's never joining you lot

Olivier Giroud | Montpellier 2010-2012

@ Gunnerthru

We all like giroud, he was just sht yesterday, messed up 3 golden goal scoring opportunities

No, HMNIG

Giroud gives his all that's for sure, he isn't and will never be a prolific goal scorer in the Premier League. I think with the right striker partnership (no wonder he welcomed Surez if that was on) he would come into his own right.

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

Plenty of peopl have been slating wilshere

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.

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.
