UEFA Champions League - Page 11

Lmao.

Haha! Marcelo's head looks perfect for that body on the GIF. xD

how are all these Arsenal fans so sure that goals will eventually flow for Giroud?

He looks utterly toothless so far

Because if you look at the runs he makes, he has the intelligence a striker should have. He makes good runs and loses his markers. He's just been unfortunate.

Didn't it take Henry something like 8 games to score his first goal? It could be debatable that he was still trying to get out of the winger mentality he had.

Well Giroud isn't a good as Henry. He needs time to adapt. The same can't be said for Santi and Podolski. They've been superb.

quote LuisGarciaisgod

brilliant is a bit strong no? Actually thought he was pretty poor tonight

You watched our game tonight? To be honest, it will be best to judge Giroud after ten or so games but he has shown good movement (maybe not as much tonight) and it's been his finishing that let him down. If he continues like he has been then yeah it isn't good but just needs time for now.

brilliant is a bit strong no? Actually thought he was pretty poor tonight

Henry came to Arsenal as a winger with no confidence after being frozen out at Juve,Giroud came after being top scorer in a league where his team won the Championship.

how does his movement indicate he's a good finisher?

Was speaking in general, only saw the highlights of our game tonight and he had some decent touches.

But no it's not too far off the mark, off the ball he makes great runs and his interlinking with Podolski has pulled defences across numerous times already.

Giroud came to us expecting to be a sub, not walk into the first team and have everybody outside the club expecting him to replace a 30 goal a season striker and writing him off after 90 minutes.

quote LuisGarciaisgod

don't think anyone's writing him off though? it's just seems to be this consensus that he'll bang in the goals soon enough but he hasn't shown any indication of that so far. Nobodies saying he's a bad player etc..

The media have/are. Have been since the Liverpool game actually.

On the contrary, I can't recall seeing any of our fans suggesting he's going to set the world alight; they/we/I expect him to start scoring soon, but no more than 15 goals a season.
