Great work rate again from the hirsute Frenchman, chasing down lost causes all the time.
Come on mate that's lazy WUMming, particularly given that you obviously didn't watch the game based on your posted on the Ox thread
To be fair his work rate is normally very good, it's his demeanour with all the moaning and sulking etc which people take exception to.
Another largely anonymous game from him today although to be fair our shape was all over the shop with 4 wingers playing and did bag a goal. Meanwhile Agueros fine solo effort today is well worth checking out...
Not WUM'ing at all though, i genuinely believe it.
Giroud has no pace and runs like a proper chunky bastard, but he's always chasing down the play. And he definitely gets called lazy a lot by people, which is frustrating. Same as when Ozil gets called lazy and then you find out he runs 10.5km in a game, the highest out of our team and even higher than the midfield pair.
If Giroud sulks a bit on the pitch I don't particularly care, his enthusiasm is there for all to say when he's making the runs (usually) and putting himself about to win knockdowns and 2nd balls, pretty much the only player out there wearing red and white with the ability to do this.
