There is no revisionism other than the fact you keep steering the post towards the (false) assumption that I am comparing Giroud favourably over Laca and Auba. I am not because he is a different type of player, a type we could actually use in games where we are behind and things aren't working.Lol, because he’s not. And to be clear, neither is Giroud.
But this revisionism is annoying.
1. He wanted to leave because he wanted to be a starter in a World Cup year and we only ever played 1 striker
2. Lacazette arrived that summer and Auba arrived in January, making Giroud 3rd choice
3. We sold nearly all our wingers and didn’t cross balls, which is pretty much the only thing Giroud can work with
My point is, was and will continue to be, that there were many people, including here, who claimed Giroud wasn't good enough. Those people got a taste last night of what Giroud can do on his day.
