Olivier Giroud: The great schism of our time

[razörist]

I think its a bit petty to keep banging on about that horrible miss. We all cursed him at that moment, he himself propably the most, but he showed some real resilience in the remainder of the game. It was probably his best game since olympiakos away, and I quite like this new Giroud.
He ****s up (CL, Sunderland at home, this **** above) but he makes up for it. And maybe, just maybe, he'll still be fueled with the urgency to prove himself after this match and play a perfect game away at stoke. If we wouldnt have conceded that late goal, a lot more people would be praising him.

And yes, its a horrible horrible miss, from every angle.

I can 100% guarantee he'll miss more easy chances. I'll give the same guarantee he'll score and create more goals to get us points. I'll also guarantee other strikers will do both of those things for other teams.

Of course, you don't have to tell me that. But this is what people do on forums, they criticize things. We will criticize Giroud, and the striker after him, and the striker after them.

Reminds me of this one

Can you also find the chance Rosicky missed in Champions league? That was terrible.

Which game? Milan at home?

Nah it was some team from Eastern Europe.

Found it:


Actually that is worse than Giroud chance.

9 goals and 2 assists in his last 9 games

 

[say yes]

Jesus, just looked over this thread since the result yesterday. Tragic stuff.

Pretty much everyone agrees he played well (e.g. 1 - 2 - etc). You've then got about 10 pages of deluded Giroud fanboys spoiling for an argument where there isn't one to be had. Taking partisan football fandom to another level.

And the other 170 you got people hating on Giroud regardless of how well he performs.

You can tell this is hurting the AGB on a personal level at this point. Every post wreaks of hate and butthurt.

Exactly. I was attacked by a bunch of parasites for no apparent reason.

Absolutely disgusting stuff.

You don't though. Take a look at this thread after the Olympiakos game, or the Everton game, or the Man City game. I'll even quote myself for you:

Great stuff from the guy again.

Some of you need to take a step back from this GDL thing and stop being so partisan, it's dull.

Actually no. Most of us praised Giroud for his performance.

I mean you guys are trying to blame Ramsey, Özil, Wenger, Walcott for Giroud miss. You have post now 3 or 4 times where you saying you don't want people to talk about his miss. Anything to protect the golden boy. Blame everything else. It is highest order of delusion. Bigger than Liverpool fans towards their players.

Are you Giroud?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

It is getting out of hand here.

I say promote say yes and furious style to admin role on this forum so we can get to GDL level in this conversation.

Yeah but those two things didn't happen. At least not how you're trying to make it sound.

I brought up the other names to demonstrate the idea that it isn't 1 person who is responsible for the draw. Its a team result, which includes the Giroud miss, but certainly is not a result of this.

And no one is barring you guys from referring to the miss. But if you're going to do it, you can expect people to reply with opposing thoughts. You seem to have a problem with this.

People could also start accepting that other people criticizing their opinions isn't tantamount to a personal attack. The right to offer an opinion comes with the right of others to disagree with it and point out why they do so.

And if you are going to offer strong opinion, with some aggressive language, it's more than likely that others will do the same if they disagree. If you can give it out you should be able to take it.

Of course we have a problem with it. It was a shocking miss, wasn't it?

If you say yes(he), then we agree and move on.

GDL in embarrassment overdrive.

GDeep in typically vacuous post.

People can't stand Giroud made up for the miss.
