He would have been a legend if they had scored that.

They do actually seem to play pretty well too, you'd figure they would have a decent enough shot on the better surface.

he's a mediocre striker who is extremely good looking and that dazzles people and makes all his goals look twice as cool

put cassano's face on him and he's worse than andy carrol

The strikers better than Giroud in this league, imo, are:

Aguero
Lukaku
Last season's Costa
Kane
Ighalo
Vardy
Martial

as someone who was At The Game giroud was worthless today until ramsey came on

he;s a good striker though and without spending 50m or getting super lucky it's hard to do a lot better

The only one I consider objectively better is Aguero. Obviously Vardy if he keeps it up. The rest do some things better (mostly finish), but are not nearly as good at build up and being a physical presence as GIroud. The number of world class strikers in the world is down to about 6 or 7 (with three at Barcelona), Giroud is in that next tier along with a dozen or so (along with Lukaku, Vardy, Kane). How the hell does Martial make it on this list? He has scored what, 3 goals?

I can't imagine many arsenal fans would want to swap Giroud for Ighalo or Vardy. That's crazy talk.
