It is a long season. We are going to need everyone in our squad, including Giroud.
Think Wenger will start Giroud at striker over a healthy combo of Alexis and Iwobi with the way we're playing? Can't see it for most games. Sometimes, maybe, but this setup is just getting started.
He'll get starts against teams where we know they will sit back
Jep. Chelsea sat back. Basel sat back. Alexis cut through them like a knife through butter. Giroud should stick to defending corners and long balls if we are defending a close lead.That's what I absolutely do not want to see, against teams that will sit back I want us to be passing through them for fun like we have been for the Chelsea and Basel games. I do not want us to resort to being a Moyes team. If Sanchez is not available I would rather see Perez starting than Giroud.
True enough actually, Alexis seems to have the guile needed to deal with teams parking the bus. If this keeps up the Giroud may just be a sub or used when others need a break. There a lots of games to play.Jep. Chelsea sat back. Basel sat back. Alexis cut through them like a knife through butter.

That's because Alexis is a hungry attacker, always chasing, always looking for space. Alexis is a hunter you know. Hold on a minute.. Alexis is a hunter...Alexis is hunter...Alex is hunter... Alex Hunter! O M G. EA sports knew!True enough actually, Alexis seems to have the guile needed to deal with teams parking the bus.

Good, one less player to worry about. Though it might be safer for him to go with France than to stay with us.
What do you think Giroud thinks when he watches us play like we did the last games? Maybe he fancies himself to be a good fit? If I was him, and I saw Alexis play like that I'd be like: **** me...No he can stay here and take care of his toe!
He never was a fit tbhBlaze, can't see Giroud starting anytime soon. Arsène may have found his system & line up. Giroud may come as a plan B as a sub, let's say we want to play with two CF's and to chase a goal. He does not fit the type of game based on pace, movement and power we are pushing now.
(By the way, I am a big Giroud fan but acknowledge he is not a fit nowadays).

Mmmm. Good times.He has to see he is in trouble.
Giroud lack of pace is definitely a huge issue. He will have to be a super sub and a situational player to contribute. I would not be surprised to see Lucas starting at CF before him.
