good as a sub or backup option / plan b
He did well today. But he should have had a hat trick. I reiterate what is said above. Good backup material. He showed us what his role should be today.
Coming off the bench.
Ramsey was the player to get us back in it and lift the team.
Does Giroud have that in him?
He's a good back up striker. Good option off the bench as shown today. His chance conversion isn't the greatest.
He always misses about 5 then scores one
He would be good back up to Cavani.
Giroud is as good as Arsenal will get this season. Best for the club the fans get behind him

okie dokie
Did ok today but far too inconsistent to be our main striker. We still need someone else there.
He should be what Dzeko is to Man city and we should get someone in who can be our Aguero
Giroud wi has been pivotal in our 4 PL points so far.
It would be 1 point without him.
But he is only good as a plan B.
And he is probably injured now

You truly are a spas.tic, you know that?
He only seems to play well coming off the bench. And even then he misses too many chances.

or 6 points with a decent striker. we had the best of the first 20 mins today and a decent striker could have put us ahead. Sanchez in his first game there for us didn't look too good but he may just need games to get used to it. Otherwise he will be better used out wide imo.
Giroud is injured btw, wenger said it doesn't look good, let's hope bionic man recovers for Wednesday
The guy should have had a hat trick. I was laughing at the chance he poked out.
Ridiculous.

The way we played in the first half no world class striker could change the outcome or he must be at 100% conversion rate. Who is?

A reasoned argument from you as usual
It was a genuine question. How many times has Giroud been the one to really lift the team and make a difference, particularly if he started the game. Not many, that's for sure.

Why cant you just confirm that he saved us from the defeat? Every little chance he had is now a sitter missed or what? My god your hatred is unreal.

He scored more game winning points than any other striker in the league last season you stupid, senile mongrel. But you can't see past your irrational hatred.
"The way we played in the first half no world class striker could change the outcome or he must be at 100% conversion rate. Who is?"
I wasn't talking about first half was I? I was talking about the chances that fell to Giroud when he came on. Sure he scored a good goal. But he missed some ridiculous chances too.
You didnt understand me properly, Dubbed. Every chance Giroud now have is a "sitter"? No it isnt. When he came on he shot from the left with a difficult angle. Then he had a chance from the pen spot. Was very close and can happen. You hardly find a striker who put them all in.
I'm sorry. The volley he missed was ridiculous. He should have hit the target. The one in the box was embarrassing. Can't forget the one where he turned and missed as well.

It wasnt a sitter, Dubbed.
Yeah, that volley was tough. Van Persie alsi missed tons like that.
Those who defend Giroud miss the point that most make abt Giroud. Giroud is a 10-15 premiership goal striker. In a good season will get you on top of that range and in a bad season he will get you abt 10 goals.
He missed 3 easy chances yesterday to score one. A better striker would have scored 2 goals and we would have won the game.
Giroud did improve us yesterday but thats not a vindication of Giroud. It is more that Alexis was struggling in that position and playing Theo there will also be a risk. We need a top striker to challenge! Nothing has changed.
