Giroud is far from a scapegoat, he's had serious support from AFC fans for years, in fact they've even supported him when he's been dog.
About the support you mention, why should I support a striker who can't score a goal against Red star and Norwich? especially when an 18 yr old comes on and instantly scores 2 goals in that same game?
The same striker who went 10 or so games without scoring.
This is pathetic and endemic of our supporters these days, begging for us to back a striker which you would only ever need to do if he was under performing in first place.
When in AFC history since Alan Smith have we ever had a striker so limited we have to galvanise support? Wright, Anelka, Henry, Adebayor, RVP.
Spurs have Kane, City have Jesus and Aguero and you want us to be content with fkin Oliver Giroud?
Are you mad bruv?
So many points in there that always get people mad and emotional when applied to other players they are willing to die for no matter what. People are so happy to point out the flaws in some players but will make all kinds of recycled dead excuses for particular players.
About Kane. Now Our fans rate him? I remember when he first burst onto the scene people were calling him an Arsenal reject, poor typical blood and thunder British hype, overrated, Welbeck a better striker, fish mouth blah blah.
Now our fans rate him? Lol
