Giroud may not be the answer, but our problem is more wing, fullback, and midfield related. Giroud is getting terrible service. Made really smart runs today at least 4 times and only got it once. Most glaring was Ramsey not playing the early ball the one time he beat Evra. Maybe RvP's ability to drop back into the midfield more effectively would be helpful, but as far as being a number 9 goes, it wouldn't matter much who was up top.

I agree i was harsh on giroud, but his movement is amazing. he looks and runs like a true player.

I think the essential problem is that we are playing a very deep line defensively, pressing from the front, but when we get the ball, we are super slow in cycling it into attack. So in addition to having players who always want the ball at their feet, other than Giroud, who is at least willing to run, we give the opposition time to retain their defensive shape.
The truth is that we don't have the type of player who can succeed in a deep line counter attacking system, especially when our wide players drop as deep as they do to help out our fullbacks. We have the type of players that require compact shape, intricate passing, and a high line with pressing throughout the field.
