Sydney FC v Arsenal | 11.00 BST

[Sniper Mik]

You are overanalyzing Giroud.

She's right. He did the classic centre forward double run, first one towards the near post and then to the far to lose his marker. He was definitely trying to score.

Imagine if that was Lukaku, he'd have tried to take a touch and it would've end up in New Zealand.

What I like most about the goal was his quick shuffle of feet to adjust to the pass.

What I like most is how simple he made it look, I can think of 4 Arsenal forwards who would have fallen over or blasted the ball over the bar.

 

[GDeep™]

The players look genuinely excited btw, there is a fresh hope that comes with a guy like Lacazette.

 

[Trilly]

Roast Chicken = Home shirt.

Fried Chicken = Third shirt.

Can't think of anything good to say about the latter pairing.

Everyone please look at this guy.

To think I actually had you as my poster of the year in the AM awards.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Beast Kola was good too and he was playing out of his fav position.

Thats why its critical Sanchez stays, him and Lacazette in the same line up take us from top 4 challengers to title challengers in my opinion.

 

[Trilly]

Thought Mr Bootcut would have my back on this. Sad.

@American_Gooner do you wear boothcuths?

Smh.

 

[OnlyOne]

Let's not lick Lacazettes arse to much but that was probably his best ever goal in an Arsenal shirt imho.

Giroud, if he stays, can play an important part in our season. How many years have we decried Arsenal for not having a decent "plan B" in attack.....no?

How far down the pecking order do you need to slide before you put in a t request?

The only person who wants to be plan B is Ben Drew.

 

[TheLawOfDiQ]

It's painfully obvious Theo needs to leave. Was very impressed with Nelson and Bramell, especially since the latter had literially lost his job at a factory to play for us, kid must still be pinching himself.

I guess we'll find out what he wants in the next month or so. I just think he's an extremely useful CF to have in our ranks - and he scores more than enough goals to make an impact. Our squad will be weakened if he does leave but as you say, who wants to be a Plan B.

 

[Rimaal]

A touch of class;

Yep. No more eating for Giroud now.

 

[BobP]

The tyranny of Olivier Giroud is finally at an end.

 

[BobP]

From Bramell's POV, even if he doesn't make it with us, he has still gotten that exposure meaning he could still carve out a good career in the EPL or even the Championship.

That is of course if things don't go well for him here.

I liked him, seemed quite an intelligent player based on the little things he did. He does seem a bit slight physically though, which might hold him back.

 

[Wilshero]

People are turning on Welbeck now smh. We already know he's limited, what's new?

Who we going to find who's better, willing to work hard and be benched.

Giroud

 

[Santi's Left Foot]

Perez.

Hmmm not a lot in it.

Unless we get a Mbappe or Mahrez we can keep both.

 

[Ashybashy86]

Giroud did go and celebrate. He was a little slow, but that's to be expected.
