View Full Version : I found Giroud’s goal both immensely satisfying but also a reminder of what we’re missing to

challenge for the title.

That ability to break the deadlock in frustrating matches by being efficient with half-chances is, for me Clive, as important as being defensively sound or any of the other aspects of our game we get criticised for.

It’s really hard in top level football to create clear cut chances. Think how rarely nowadays you see a player run through on goal, for example. This makes having the quality to score half-chances all the more important.

performances of Ozil and Walcott.

I thought they looked terrific.

Might have been Ramsey.

Theo could have possibly should have scored at least one, but he worked physically hard against his fullback to retain possession for us throughout the game - not a common feature of his game.

Off in the summer, sadly. Probably to Spurs.

not particularly powerful shot.

I had no problem with him passing - the problem was the pass was overhit.

convinced our fans that there is some method to our players' madness.

It just looked like he had 3 options, the other two being to take it himself perhaps even allowing himself a further touch or rolling it across to Giroud.

Struck me as a lack of confidence which I find bizarre.

If only we could shake off our complete reliance on Sanchez we would be all right. Just 21 different goalscorers this season

Of course when it happened you looked up from your seat and applauded the vision of the player.
