Actually thought Giroud was fine--and in battling form tonight. Imagine if he has missed that RVP>>

one-on-one early on.

Ozil also played really well. Our problem was more the lapses in midfield, mostly Jack, though Arteta almost cost us the game early on.

When he is isolated, he is totally ineffective. Not Giroud's fault. he is what he is.

The CF options are pretty dire. Wenger clearly doesn't really trust the others. Certainly not enough to give any of them a run of games. Another CF around Giroud's level would have been a useful buy last summer. At least we could've rotated properly. Not getting anyone, if we could'nt sign the absolute best. Was a poor strategy, and it's starting to cost us as the season goes on.
