Giroud is just so deficient technically. He hits simple 5 yards passes in the air.
Most Arsenal fans won't accept this oddly.
Honestly, despite the fact that we had a world class striker two years ago, I think the standards most fans set have dropped dramatically over the last several seasons. Not saying we lack quality, it's more that people find Giroud acceptable because he's scores a decent amount and has a good attitude.
I don't think he's as bad as some people make him out to be; he's merely a limited striker with just enough tools to keep a competitive team in the hunt. Is he good enough to be a main man on a title winning squad? Probably not. In that respect, he's one of the main reasons why I don't think we'll fail to win the title. All teams have flaws, but after 38 games, your points total usually reflects your top-to-bottom quality.
