Well there is the rub with Giroud innit.Originally Posted by Billy Goat Sverige
All the people wanting Giroud to start got what they wished for
He is the footballing personification of the phrase that “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. Remove him from the starting 11 and his brief cameo appearances make you think “ooh he should start”, and then he starts and his deficiencies within the team system come to the fore.
He’s a sub, nothing more. A reserve to be rolled out when others need a rest in lesser competitions.
See also “TJ and the impressive 5 minute spell in a meaningless dead rubber match” which admittedly is a working title for his latest book.
