Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud emphasised the need for the Gunners to show efficiency in front of goal, following a third consecutive Premier League match without finding the net.
Giroud saw his Arsenal side kept out of goal by in-form Southampton stopper Fraser Forster last night, who kept the Frenchman from scoring himself, and the striker was fairly critical after the match when he spoke to Arsenal Player.
“It’s a long way to go and we just need momentum. Hopefully we can start that against Bournemouth and then after we have a big February and March until the international break. We’re going to see how it’s going to be but we need to keep our heads up and keep working on what we are doing well.”
“Hopefully we are going to have better nights to come, because tonight we were a bit unlucky and a bit sad to draw. We had so many chances to score and we didn’t do it. We missed chances here and it could have been maybe 4-1 or 5-2 but their ‘keeper did well and it is hard.”
“You have to keep the faith and keep believing that you will maybe score. That is what we tried to do but he [Fraser Forster] had a very good day. He was always in the right position and did very well and it is frustrating.”
“Now we are five points from Leicester City so it is going to be a hard time in the few weeks to go and we need to get as many points as we can. It’s not over – we need to stay positive and be more efficient in the next games to come.”
Arsenal travel to Bournemouth this weekend in what’s turning out to be a must-win match, before a run of crucial Premier League fixtures against Leicester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
