Giroud really is cack for arsenal, that sango does more than he does. Over all city are controlling this game with ease, if Dzeko wasn't on pitch they would probably have few more goals

What have either of them done wrong, exactly? Or are you a standard football fan who can't see the point of a striker without pace?
 
Arsenal need to work far harder in midfielder and close down the City players far faster. Think Kompany's begging to get sent off if Arsenal had a bit more pace on the break, perhaps Ox could provide that.

Actually I do rate Dzeko today though he isn't doing much, if he does get ball in final third he passes it sloppy he isn't sticking any tackles in to win it back. As for Giroud he isn't doing anything he doesn't need pace to run back abit to help. So take your insults elsewhere. Arsenal problem is wenger and has been for 3 years

sack wenger? lol
 
Giroud is not a bad player - he is the sort of player we should be looking to keep in the squad. He gives us something different, big strong guy to hit the ball up to, arial threat in the box. The problem is that at the moment he is all we have. There is no pace in behind from anybody, it allows people to play a high line with no fear of us breaking in behind. He cannot lead the line on his own against quality opposition.

Yes, he is a good backup striker, that's about it. Don't expect to win the league or do anything with Europe with him up front.

There were suggestions Arsenal would struggle when he went out, but really it seems they've just struggled when Ramsey went out (although the annual collapse can't be discredited either.)

That would be all well and good but he isn't that strong from what I've seen and gets muscled off the ball really easy,he hasn't made any runs of note today for you either
