One thing you can't take away from Giroud is that he improves every year.
Reckon this is his best season for us yet.

I don't really see why people dislike him so much. He should've never been our sole striker and I think he's a useful super sub or occasional start. I think his link up play would definitely play more in our current style than it did last year.

The back and forth of both sides is a broken record here. Lets not go back to those dark days again when we have finally seen the light.

Yep. Think our fast paced, highly mobile, short passing, counter-attacking style would suit Giroud down to a tee.
Surely a complete coincidence that this newfound style has suddenly sprung up in his absence.

It feels like he's been downgraded to a bit part player for us. In the current system Perez is ahead of him and he'll see his minutes in an odd cup games or when we'll need a plan B at the 70th minute. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone in January (if he pushes for the move).

The only game that I thought that we could have really done with Giroud was the Burnley game. Other than that we've not missed a striker of his nature at all.
Though Boro and Sunderland up next they might adopt a similar approach to Burnley so it'll be interesting to see what happens. I know as the season goes on it'll be good to have Giroud an option. From November through to about March is always such a testing period for us, if Giroud can come into a bit of form like he did in the 14/15 season in those months then it'll be a huge boost to our title challenge.

Haven't really missed him on the pitch, other than his sexiness of course.

He gets it in the neck from Arsenal fans, and he gets it in the neck from his national fans. That can really eat away at your confidence and test your mental resolve. He's limited, but I respect him.
I'd love nothing more than for him to come back and become the ultimate super sub.

Won't be long now . Noticed Özil and Bellerin kept lofting the ball into the box , a form of protest that Giroud is not starting ? I think so .

I think it's a great plan B to have, or even A, depending on how you think the game will pan out from the start. Alexis goes wide left and Giroud goes orthodox CF. To have had that option yesterday was the difference between 1 and 3 points. His value to the team has just gone up a notch on yesterdays evidence.

Yeah agree makes a difference when there is someone that can occupy and receive a ball while holding of a defender in the box, opens up space for everyone else not to mention set pieces .

Finally back to play a proper football. Without Giroud in the line up. Long may it continue.

Wouldn't disagree that Giroud could have made the difference yesterday: plan A certainly wasn't working and he's the definition of plan B.
Don't think that people should be getting carried away with it though. We've been held at the Emirates plenty of times with him in the lineup and this Giroud-less period is the best our attack has looked since the fabregas days. You can't win every game.
Having a Giroud/Welbeck on the bench would be useful for games where technical ability isn't going to unlock the opposition and we need a more physical option in there, but that's about as far as I'd go.
