Count ourselves lucky he made the adjustment to the classic Arsenal false no9.
When has Giroud scored a hat trick? once in 5 seasons if that?
Sanchez 1st season up front, already a hat trick.
You're arguing against nobody here DG. No-one thinks Giroud is even close to Alexis' level, and everyone agrees that Alexis as our striker is when we play our best football. Giroud is a good plan B for when we're need to try something different.
I'm advocating people stop clamouring for Giroud just because we don't score 10 goals by half time.
As I've repeated many times here, Sanchez's early season performances showed us what we're capable of if we keep the faith.
A-F among others constantly call for Giroud at half time, I'm just saying he's only useful if we go full r***rd hail mary to nick a last minute goal.
(That's not a dig at A-F or whomever, we've had these convo's already)
