Good player to have around the squad. 

Played well last night, was linking up play well. Tries to do too flicks and backheels at times but I guess that's just his style. 

If we can somehow get someone else in this summer over Morata I think having Giroud as a second option is as good as you can ask for.

    What a quote !

    Towards the end of the season he was playing like a donkey but he was class in the final. Properly did a job but don’t know whether that’s the expection or the rule going forward.

    Exception! It’s a one-off game, no way he sustains it over a long season.

    Divock Origi is a better 2nd option.

    "Chelsea is a club where you have maybe more expectations, higher expectations. They were winning more titles these past 10 years and obviously Arsenal wants to come back to the 'Invincibles' days, but it's not easy.

    "I'm not going to say we are doing things better at Chelsea. We just try to be as competitive as we can, to step up and win more trophies."

    When asked if it could be a mentality issue, Giroud replied: "Maybe.

     

    Interesting part there about the expectation difference between us and them.

    For me Arsene Wenger is the face of that type of mentality. By that I mean he would never 'force' a victory and would always let players off the hook after a loss which by a Petr that never happened at Chelsea when we were at our best. Times have changed of course but now with Frank and Petr in the club that mentality will remain. I'm sure most of our past big name managers have kept that as well. Conte probably wasn't a happy chap after a loss.

    Not even the hair? You may need some specific products to help it along.
