One thing that sort of annoys me is that our fullbacks refuse to get to the byline to play crosses in. They seem to stop on their overlaps and try to join the "lets pass around the box" game.

No one to swing it into.

We really need Jack right now. Someone to drive at a deep lying defense.

We also need a forward who can give some semblance of hold up play and run the channels.

Giroud is just so fricking mentally fragile. That bullshite garbage arse chip at the end was the epitome of it. And he's so fricking soft. He never engages physically with opposing center backs.

Costa, count that he is, is constantly initiating contact with defenders, keeping them off balance and wearing them down. Giroud checks to the ball, holds them off, and then offers nothing else outside of one twos. He's a good sub, an inadequate first choice striker.

Walcott is a winger, Welbeck has every tool but the most important -- finishing -- and that's all we have.

I am happy with the three points. I am. But I'm also ruling out anything but a league or FA Cup.
