nothing honestly but for a striker you want him to score goals he did that today

Because he has a very good record when it comes to taking penalties. This revisionism is going too far, it's not like Campbell took it and missed.

Giroud scored, that's his job. The defence didn't defend, that's their job, basically.

Probably because he scores them all. Not sure though.

Ive been trawling through his post history for the past half hour, and I can confirm 'GDeep' did indeed foresee these events. Him and 89.868% of the forum.

Özil and Alexis our best players - that's the end of the positives.
Typical Giroud performance; scores a header from a good Özil cross, lose majority of aerial duels, give away possession repeatedly, fall over often, complain to the ref often and restrict many of our attacking movements. Bellerin had a shocker, Arteta should have done better for the goal and Campbell displayed more evidence that may prove that he has worst touch I've seen for an Arsenal player under the Wenger era.
The WBA unsportsmanlike tactics to delay the penalty annoyed me, Gardner who followed Santi back to the spot mouthing in his ear (Giroud rightly shoved him away) and Olson standing in front of penalty spot until the the ref told him to move. As soon I saw this I thought it's been too long, Santi was going to miss it.
Coquelin injury a major worry.

Özil along with Sanchez are the only guys who come out with any credibility after this game. How long are they going to stick around I wonder?

Why are people questioning Cazorla taking the penalty when he pretty much had a 100% conversion record with us until now?

Once again I remind you, Giroud plays because Walcott is injured...
**** it, sell him... not even playing as a reliable back up is enough

Instead of blaming Giroud I'd rather blame the rest of the team for not making late runs into the box ala Ramsey. Everybody standing in the periphery. Once we get close to the box, somebody IN ADDITION to Giroud should be moving about instead of standing.
Baffles me, just because Theo is not playing means everybody has to stand around looking at each other while Giroud is trying to pull defenders.

I didnt say Theo was the answer for this game. However, he is the only alternative! Once again, down to Wenger in the summer.
The guy just frustrates so much, he can't compete against physical defenses. He gets frustrated, punches the ground, shouts at the ref. Looks like he gives a ****, but that amounts to very little if you cant rely on him to hold up the play, link with the better players around him... and even to rely on him to get in the box when crosses are coming in as he did today.

Giroud should be taking them. Full stop. His job is to score goals. If we can't rely on our striker for penalties then he shouldn't be playing.

Did I blame Giroud for the loss? Obviously Arteta takes the lions share for that.
Yea Giroud scored, I'm happy for him and us. My point is, Alexis and Özil are doing everything they can to make things happen in the final third and our main man up front is so extremely limited. That must be frustrating don't you think?

Giroud scored, Özil assisted, Alexis made dangerous attempts,
Nacho defended well.

That's nonsense, Giroud probably could put them away but when you have a guy in the team who's good at penalties you pick hiim, simples.

Go on, just ignore the guy who's scored them all to date took the penalty. Had Giroud took it and missed, you'd be still be crying.

Cazorla at CM is never gonna be good enough to win a big trophy.
