I'd take Giroud on this form right now over Benzema in a heart beat.

Giroud has two or three touches every match that are just phenomenal, and they nearly always lead to a chance.

My wife, who could give two shits about sports, will occasionally stomach soccer because (a) Arsenal is full of sexy bitches and (b) she actually is impressed with Giroud's touch. It's a subtle part of the game most who have never played/rarely watch don't get, but he has some first touches that blow my mind.

I hope some 13 year old in South America takes a porn break and puts together a compilation of this season's matches focusing only on Giroud's first touch. Would be fun to watch.

was it Giroud who, in the 2nd half, effortlessly took down a lob from about 50 yards away? might've been Ozil...

hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about. the control was beautiful

Especially in his role as a target striker. He is great aerially and is fantastic with his back to the goal.
