He is not doing better job, nor is he doing worse.

Then I think you need to change how you analyse a game.

Dont let your hate blind you Raptor.

LOL, not hate man, feel bad for Giroud but I dont think he should be starting for us either.

But at least Giroud brings something on the field.

only thing Giroud lacks is finishing.. he has good movement.. good strength to hold the ball.. wins aerial duels.. excellent interlink play.. creates space for others.. always involved in the game.. threat from setpieces.. and good defensive work in defending setpieces.. is this not enough from him to be our CF ? sad that he is getting underestimated only because of RIPs prolific last season..

So disappointing to see this squad's inconsistencies from week to week. At best, it's an exciting side that's just a few appropriate signings away from competing for titles in earnest. But then we see matches like this one ... totally uninspired & toothless.

Still, I'll always prefer that Arsenal grind out consistent points with inconsistent displays than just mess up and concede stupid goals that lose them games.

The game was so boring to be honest. Our performances are getting worse, worryingly. Wigan and Newcastle will be a lot tougher than QPR too.

Can't believe its gotten to the point where people are calling for Gervinho to start

podolski............Oxlade
............walcott

why not try walcott upfront again? did okay and scored a couple of goals why he was playing there

Still more of a threat than Gervinho

Its sad that we sent Chamakh on loan, we could have used him.
Gervinho.
Podolski.
Giroud.
Koscielny is better striker than all 3, at least he can get the shot on target.

Podolski has been disappointing upfront, yes. And I understand those who say Giroud is more of a threat upfront. He brings others into the game, holds the ball better upfront, his movement is better.

I agree with that. But one thing that Podolski has over Giroud, is that he is a better finisher. And that's important!

We just somehow, need to create the chances for Podolski upfront. He doesn't get any service at all. And for that I blame the manager, because he should have a game plan to help out Poldi, as well as the wide players whose crosses are always so poor.

Are you kidding, this guy could not make the bench again at West ham

we manage to create chances because of Girouds interplay.. Giroud infact creates space for others which was the reason Podolski, Walcott and Cazorla could attempt those shots.. this time Podolski is having to do it all by himself which he is uncapable of.. playing Podolski and waiting for that one chance which he could finish will never come.. he needs to be dropped next game for Gervais or Walcott..
and i too dare say that in our current situation we could have used Chamakh for the better of the team..
