I don't remember any misses where I was annoyed saying that he should've scored that, so why would you be annoyed in your striker having a higher shots per goal percentage than Judas had last year?
And also, saying the he scored the only shot 'presented' to him is one way of putting it... Giroud's 2 goals weren't presented to him. His movement was the only reason he got those 2 chances.
OK. I hope you have the match recorded - 8 chances 2 goals.
That equates to a hatful of misses in my (or anyones) book!!

One played in French league - equivalent to Championship in my book.
both scored goals.
German player has proved internationally he can score also, with far higher goals ratio than French player.
Stubborn French Arsenal manager chooses French player over German player to play up front. (surprise surprise!!) Moves german goal machine to left hand side out of harms way. We watch the weekly Giroud missfest at Liverpool, Chelsea, Norwich, Schalke, Fulham.
