Jesus, GIroud played directly through the middle on goal... takes a touch away from goal and lets the defenders get back. He's a not bad finisher, inside 8 yards, he's pretty rubbish outside of it though. Kane is as good a finisher from close but can run the ball, hold it up better, pick out good crosses and great passes and he's a threat from anywhere inside of 30yards.

I keep saying it Giroud is the level we need as rotation/back up, occasional 4-4-2 tactic against weaker teams needing more firepower... he is no where near top quality striker, he's exceptionally limited. I can't think of another top striker who wouldn't have taken that towards goal then taken a shot.

I hope we sell him in the summer. We need a proper world class striker.

He scuffed the ball into the corner. Keepers regularly gamble early these days and you see them save balls in the bottom corner. Riise's penalty in the 2005 CL final was hit better than Kane's today and Dida saved that by going early. It was far from unsavable as you suggested.
 
Definite second penalty, rubbish linesman/ref because that was blatant as hell.

With a second penalty and the two ridiculous chances they missed, we could easily be 5-0 down. Our chances have been poor, Ramsey got tee'd up edge of box from corner and managed to pass it wide, then his other shot may have been on target but had zero power, it was a very comfortable save.

Sure, sure.

You also think it was a complete mishit with no pace on the ball.
