Arsenal 2-0 Liverpool | Premier League 2/11/13

[Santi]

It's as if Van c*** is the go to person for a striker who never misses, watch United..it happens.

[Popey]

I'd agree with that, but what pisses me off is that Giroud is suddenly poor/ shit/ useless because he's not world class. He's not the best, but he's not anywhere as near as bad as some fans make out.

I agree. people also always need to moan about somebody. at the end of the day it's the victory that counts. if we lost and giroud was poor ok, then moan but now after such a victory saying that giroud isn't good enough to start is ridiculous.

if you want aguero or suarez in your team go and support shity of liverfool

RVP was constantly waisting good chances but he would score more (he wasn't completely dependent on others). Giroud is good and we should support him damaging his confidence will not help.

Worst logic ever.

Our lack of of quality in the final third showed on a number of plays. We controlled the ball in the midfield but we dont have enough to show for it.

We need to score at least one more. Suarez and Sturridge had some space but didnt make the most of it. If we keep giving them some of those spaces, they will eventually capitalize on it.

I know its not in his nature but Ozil really needs to force the issue and leave his mark on games like these. He is just going with the flow and that is not good enough for a quality player like him. Unfortunately, having followed him at RM, I have come to expect this from him.

If Henderson wasn't Henderson we'd be drawing right now..

if my aunt had bollocks she would be my uncle

Two missed chances by Liverpool. Plenty of spaces.

Arsenal is going to concede....

i hope you write better in your notebook

If Everton wins they are second ...

[starmandb]

its not childish, it pisses me off to see such a great team with a striker thats not up to it. I was only saying earlier if Arsenal had Aguero theyd be the best team in europe.

thank you for your interest but as a man utd fan we really care little for your opinion
i have no interest in who wears or should wear your shirt or anyone elses shirt for that matter

Me when I woke up:

[starmandb]

WTF is this nonsense argument about Giroud. Its got nothing to do with if hes good enough. Its got everything to do with having quality rotation in the ST department.

Podolski? Wenger never plays him as a centre forward. Walcott? See Podolski.

Walcott rarely plays up front.

And I ask those who dont seem to think we need another striker...... why dont you want us to be the best we can be and have biggest and best squad possible?

I completely agree!

I am one of Giroud's biggest fans but would love for us to sign a world class striker in January. My argument is that he's still doing a great job this season and deserves a hell of a lot more credit than he's getting, but I still want another striker.

To be honest, I don't think there are any fans on here who wouldn't want a new striker in January.

exactly
we needed another striker at the start of the season and i believe it to e negligent that we did,nt get 1

I wouldn't say best in Europe. We'd be the best in the league though if we had Aguero, especially with the form he's in.

We are the best in the league.

By 5 points.

I mean properly the best in the league, not there because Chelsea and Citeh keep making errors.

chelsea hold the record for the most points in a premier league season
95 in 04/05
after 10 games that season they had 23 points
we have 25
we are where we are on merit

On the Giroud argument ........

Look, when it comes to finishing goal mouth chances he's about as good as we've ever had, the problem is since the 90's Arsenal since Ian Wright have had strikers who are world class (Bergkamp, Anelka, Henry, Reyes, Adebayor, RVP) so you can see why Giroud is a little bit shy of what we're used to.

As much as I praise his inbox presence, outside the box he's fkin horrible, I counted he got robbed at least 4-5 times today, that is not good enough for an Arsenal no1 choice striker.

However until Wenger buy's an alternative I'll support Giroud, he's all we've got.

This seems neutral. I agree. We have to stick to Giroud until we get another striker in January. Unless Podolski plays CF and starts firing, we'd need another world class striker. Giroud was hopeless outside the box and if van Persie had the two chances Giroud got, he'd have scored both. That's the type we need to become a force in Europe.

van persie missed an open goal from 2 yards out this season v bayer leverkusen

Don't forget his other one against Milan...

What was that about big players winning you big games?
