I really think Giroud should be rested for his own sake / protection, he looks knackered and

and its affecting his performance; unfortunately the fans (like the mongs behind us) getting on his back doesn't help and despite many expert's view here, Bendtner can play better than Giroud is currently playing

he won quite a lot of the aerial battles last night, but we then had no runners from midifled for him to link up with.

Was painful watching Ozil last night, poor bloke was desperately looking for someone to run in behind that he could slide a ball in to but no one has the pace.

Is Gnabry injured?

I suspect Olivier will have to suffer a cardiac arrest on the pitch before Podolski or Bendnter are sent to warm up.

Perhaps Mesut was looking for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sanogo seemed to be at U20 level, not Theo pace but certainly quick

higher level but he showed he had the ability. He finished the tournament's top scorer.

Gnabry was apparently injured

[Brentwood]

I like him a lot, but one man isn't enough to start up front every game, especially when the game doesn't suit his style. The fact that Wenger wanted to sign Higuain, Suarez or Vucinic tells you that he knows that we needed someone in addition to Giroud.

but think his performance was no where near as bad as some people would have you believe.

His run of looking below par has coincided with Ramsey and Walcott being out injured, players that have benefitted from his physical presence up front this season.
