Beren Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Aye Giroud is a good footballer. Doesn't do it against bigger teams. A 15 goal a season striker. Scored past PSG, City, Bayern, Liverpool, Man Utd and Leicester (champs) in the last 2 seasons. Not that impressive over two seasons when you think about it. Also, if you just watch him play against better organised sides against whom Arsenal are less dominant... he looks a little impotent most of the time IMO. Well groomed absolutely, but he's snuffed out and ragdolled too easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Aye Giroud is a good footballer. Doesn't do it against bigger teams. A 15 goal a season striker. Scored past PSG, City, Bayern, Liverpool, Man Utd and Leicester (champs) in the last 2 seasons. He's been in England 4 or 5 years, how many goals against the top 6? He's a 15 a year goalscorer in the PL. A top striker is "the difference" and he is not for a team that aims to win the league. I like Giroud and he gets too much stick. But he doesn't score enough to be an elite striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Great game, Arsenal will need to hope they get back some of their CBs mind It's early but i think Lacazette will prove to be best out of the big money striker signings this summer.

The College Dropout Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Xhaka plays some beautiful passes like. If only he was more mobile Also losses the ball pretty often for a CM with just basic passing going astray. Aye. That's why the other day he got 100% completion for a minimum of 80 passes in the community shield. That's a glorifed friendly. In the second half before the 2 excellent assists, he lost the ball wastefully 2 or 3 times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Not sure what to make out of Leicester, since we are obviously not in Arsenal's class, they are more our competition. For 50 or 60 mins, they looked more than decent, but the last 30 mins, they were dreadful really, despite Arsenal really playing well in that period, Leicester just sat back and tried to defend, but they can't defend.

Yeah don't disagree with that Solid, but I think they definitely needed Lacazette to be where they want to be. In fairness to Giroud, he's often had thankless tasks/little support when put up against the better sides too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can make a big impact but whenever I see him, he misplaces simple passes and moves like Jack Colback. Excellent passes tonight for the goals though.
