Giroud is a good player, i wont be turned on that, he needs support and I agree he cant win the league on his own - but im more than happy with his contributions. Id like a striker, but id prefer a Goalkeeper and defender / defensive midfielder more.
I really do disagree that scoring goals isn't our problem. I think it is.
I thought we looked toothless for much of the season, and some bizarre high scoring games made our goals scored column disguise what I believe is a real problem for us.
Also not sure how you can be happy with Giroud's contribution. People quote the 17 goals he scored, but some of them were in the Carling Cup, and of his 11 league goals (which I don't think is great for a lone striker at a club like Arsenal) only 1 was away from home.
- I also don't think he gets involved enough, and is ineffective for large chunks of the game.
Still, each to their own. I do hope you're right about Giroud though!
