He is generally standing there with his back to goal, quite heavily marked given that he is the only guy in the bloody box.Originally Posted by redgunamo
Or someone could ... you know ... pass to the centre forward
If the plan is to play the ball of him for a runner then, sorry, but Giroud was great at that. Should have kept him.....
He's a striker, supposedly a world class one. His job is to ensure there's no such thing as "quite heavily marked" so far as he is concerned
Perhaps Thierry has been gone so long that all our players have forgotten that.

Once the ball is on the edge of the box and a back 8 are in place it is quite difficult for the centre forward to find any room. He needs runners either side of him to move defenders around, or to run into space he has created.He's a striker, supposedly a world class one.

For example, I was stunned he didnt bring on Bellerin earlier in the second half, after around 60 minutes. We were crying out for something like that andChambers was finding space but not using it properly.
We need to look at a very different type of player in place of Iwobi. Someone who isnt Ozil and who definitely isnt Iwobi.
Sod Bellerin, to Pluto with Chambers and damn Iwobi and Özil too, imo!
