Wenger needs to realise his worth and stop overlooking him so much just because he has a penchant for midfielders.
If Podwas playing cf, he would have been in girouds position.
Its exactly why we need a st and pod should stay where he is
What do you mean mate?
If your playing CF and there is a striker on the pitch your playing behind the ST.
Podolski has stated his favourite position is CF, same position as Bergkamp and RVP after he moved off the wing.
Because we play 4-2-3-1 Podolski play's on the wing, he could sit behind Giroud that's why Caz and Pod used to rotate back last season but Wenger prefer's a CAM there.
Caz was terrific at CAM, needs to be played back there.

No way. Could've been 3-0 up with a better f***ing striker.
Giroud is ruining our ability do destroy teams. No coincidence it's when he was good (Norwich) was one of the few times we took a team to the sword.

How many clear cut chances did he have?
The only clear cut chance I saw whas when Theo was put through and fluffed it.
We had loads of possession but did nothing with it - I call that poor!

Pod doesnt have the passing range to play AM/CF imho. Others may disagree, but for me hes more classic winger leaning towards striker than winger midfielder. I can see him beating offside traps against a high line, but ive never been impressed with his game in traffic.
for me, him shooting with a bit of time, but from inbetween the midfield and defence is his optimal territory.
Regarding that original post, I meant that if pod played up top today in our formation, he would have been expected to be pushed up on the CBs like giroud was in that situation more often than not.
He would have been the one laying off the ball to someone else and theres no one better in the squad than him to take that shot.
