Embee Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Fucking bullshit, we need wenger to pull off another ozil miracle signing IMO In for Diego Costa Devastated about Theo, he's been brilliant for us and I had him pegged to be our most important player in the run home. Can't see Costa moving before season's end to be honest, I think we'll bring in one of Berbatov or Morata. Our wing stocks are still fine (especially with Gnabry, kid is ready) and Bentdner is a serviceable striker (obviously out for a month though), we just need someone to back-up/compete with Giroud.

Young Polak Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Wilshere is pretty shit now and ozil looks like as if he can't be bothered playing today with that look on his face... Ok game, gnabry is definitely a future German star and podolski imo should be used as a striker since giroud is very out of form Edited January 18, 2014 by Young Polak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok game, gnabry is definitely a future German star and podolski imo should be used as a striker since giroud is very out of form Wilshere was alright, just a bit poor in the first half (like most of the side). Ozil was poorer than usual but I'm not worried personally, he's having a bit of a lull and he'll play himself out of it. Got to disagree on Giroud too, once again his holdup play was brilliant and he was instrumental in our first goal, Podolski can't play as a CF in our system and has been terrible there in every game he's played for us, he's much better out wide. Giroud cops some undeserved flack, his work as a target man is fantastic, he's never going to knock in 25+ premier league goals though, that's just not the sort of striker he is, he's the sort of striker that brings other into the game and as a result spreads the goals out amongst his team-mates.

mus-28 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Giroud is great in our system of holding the ball up and bringing the midfield into the game. Plus he works harder than any other striker in the EPL battling for the ball. Unfortunately he isn't a clinical finisher, but his workrate and link play more than make up for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Man Utd were getting numbers behind the ball around the 18 yard box, yet Wenger left Podolski on the bench when we were crying out for some penetration down the wings with Carzola spending his game cutting inside. That's our challenge as good as gone, expecting the rest of this season battling for 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting frustrated watching the derby because at some points in the match players out-ran/easily caught up to him and closed him off to create any chances and we then loose possession. And the fact spurs had a lot more chances, our defense line making 60+ clearances and them, from the looks if it, spurs had a lot more possession really drains my confidence of our midfield and attacking lines and certainly doesn't help appreciate Giroud's work that others see.

Thrillhouse's constant mentioning of arsenal as being mediocre/average is also persuasive. We played on the counter for most of that game mate, Spurs had more of the ball because we let them have more of the ball. We actually caught out their high-line numerous times and if Ox had actually decided to bring his shooting boots we'd have been 3-0 up within 20 minutes, Spurs on the other hand had one great chance all game which was handed to them by Woj. Just coming off the Bayern game (away) we looked a little tired but managed to dig in and get a good result, can't really have too many complaints A counter-attacking game makes life difficult for Giroud, he's not a pacy, mobile striker and is never going to succeed in that system. He's probably the best 'Target Man' in the EPL though, he holds it up brilliantly and brings his team-mates into the play quite well. Having him in the side allows guys like Ramsey, Cazorla, Podolski, Walcott, Ozil, Chamberlain and Rosicky to be contributing on the score sheet more.

We should certainly be shopping for a 'better' striker but Giroud cops way more flak than he deserves. He's done very well for us and would be a quality second option/competitor for a world class striker. There seems to be a bit of 'FIFA Syndrome' going around where any striker that cannot turn and belt in a goal from 30 yards or dribble through 2 or 3 players is apparently shite.

Not having a dig but I might point out that bar RVP, I've never seen a striker that's even come near the same mould as Henry and bergkamp... They are one in a million players and I honestly think as a striker who adds more than finishing giroud is what arsenal need in their formation. He is clinical when holding up the ball and letting the wingers overlap, a power in the air, and when he gets it on his left he ain't so bad either... In terms of the dominant big man that arsenals formation need, I can't think of a better player that is realistic of playing at arsenal. He's a lot better than he gets credit for and puts in a shift every single week. Work ethic that you want from a centre forward.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Clearing out my cupboard today (Mrs JW requires even more room)...I have two Arsenal home jerseys, mint, never worn, size L. One is I think genuine merchandise, and is the 2002 "O2" jersey. The other I don't think is genuine, but is very close to the 1998 "JVC" jersey. Free to a good "Heart Gooner" home. If you live in the Bayside/SE suburbs I can probably have them delivered, otherwise I can pack them up and post to you. For cost reasons I prefer that they stay together. As I say, happy to see them go to a good home, no charge to you, no catches whatsoever. If any of you "Heart Gooners" are interested, please PM me.
