Was the Arsenal fanbase too hard on Giroud - France's all time leading goalscorer?

TBH I am only interested in what they did for Arsenal.
Career wise Auba has been a better goal scorer at club level for sure.
Auba maintained a better scoring record despite playing under multiple managers, under multiple systems and with lesser players.

How many goals do you think Giroud would’ve scored with Iwobi and Mkhitaryan behind him, relying on Kolasinac and Bellerin for chances?
Giroud was getting chance after chance in those Wenger teams, Auba could only dream of that service.

Auba had no problem getting chances to score in the teams he played in.
According to understat his chances to score were actually the same per 90 on average than Girouds

Maybe… just maybe Giroud > Henry 🤔

More goals for France, more trophies… more handsome.

Absolutely none of this is true, if you discount International friendlies, which everyone should.

What a striker. Frances all time topscorer. And that to think he became international quite late in his career.

But he will remain inconsistent at times. He can score you the most beautifull goals or controll the ball majestically for an assist one moment. And the next moment he misses a sitter or the ball jumps 20 meters of his foot. Nonetheless, I've always been a fan, just couldn't stay mad at the man.

The fanbase was pretty okay with Giroud. Had a better career here than most strikers in the past 20 years, even managed to win us a couple of cups but he could've never been the main cog and stuck out like a sore thumb between Özil, Cazorla, Ramsey, and Alexis.

The trouble is we should've bought Auba right away instead of Laca, and kept him as a plan B option and he could've played together with Auba maybe. We might've had a much better season and be better equipped to win Europa, but hindsight is everything.
