I remember when Henry was a pundit, he said "Giroud is a good player, but I don't think you can win the league with him as your main striker"

This place went pretty mental, some poster tried to tear down Thierry's achievement to make Giroud look better :lol:

One of the darkest days on AM, imo.

What’s the context then bozo?
Far different goal scoring environments (both league-wide and team). It's the same as these Henry comparisons you see with much lesser strikers who played 10 years later, where they have superior goal scoring records to Henry. We know of course who is better.

Drogba left the league the season before Giroud joined :lol:

My grandad was similar, didn’t like it if anybody challenged his word, even if he was wrong. But then again he wasn’t on a discussion forum.

If you are so vulnarable to one injury, plan for it better by utilise the transfer window

No excuses

If they had superior goal scoring records 10 years later, they must have been better, what with the league being so much harder. 😂 Getting yourself in knots here bro.

Except the strike rate was similar. An actual example of a fact.

Mourninho got dusted early on in the season, same with Rodgers
Pochettino getting in to his stride, Pellegrini didn’t care since he knew Pep was a coming and so on

Was such a great chance to win the league

Wait, so you’re saying a manager has to get backup players as good as their star players in case they get injured. Literally nobody said that about Klopp last year, lots of sympathy for losing VVD. :lol: And rightly so, players like VVD and Santi are one offs.

No, but I am saying that we had a whole window to strengthen the team and we didn’t except for one position. That was a grave misjudgement in my book

Honestly I thought we were immensely average to watch for most of that season, you could see we didn’t have it in us to win it despite the opportunity being there.

Beating Man City then getting smashed by Southampton 4-0 on Boxing Day, losing both games to a fractured Chelsea, costly draws to Southampton home, Crystal Palace home, Sunderland away and West Ham away from being 2-0 up.

Then of course the infamous week where we lost to a decimated Man Utd and then at home to Swansea. I never truly believed that team could win it or any of Wenger’s teams from about 2011 onwards.

Oh yeah, we had a big squad Mr Hindsight, so who would you have replaced and with whom?

You can't really say there was depth in CM when the back-ups were Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey and Flamini. The first three were perennially injured from 2013-2015 and the latter had no business playing for a club with ambition at that stage of his career.

Who started this thread? Must be one of the most disappointing windows in club history. Gave it a 1 just because I was happy we signed Cech at the time. With hindsight it was a mistake I think. Paying $15m for a thousand year old GK… puhhh…

Why the flying **** did we not splash the cash then? That period, although some raise it as the non plus ultra here, feels like dust in my mouth.

Replace Giroud with say Higuain and we would probably win the league that season and my memory of Wenger latter day would be much more fonder. It was there to be taken
