Agreed. Need something from Giroud here. Only chance.

Wenger's tactics, the backline playing so poorly, Giroud being a dumbass. We were incredibly lucky to get a point on the road against the toughest opposition in the group. Ospina was great that 2nd half.

Giroud is such a count sometimes. We needed him at the end and he gets sent off for massive cuntery.

Hopefully Perez comes good and Welbeck gets fit and plays like he did last year and we can ship Giroud off.

It doesn't seem possible but could Giroud not be at 100% fitness yet?

Or did Wenger think we could counter attack against PSG, which is why Alexis started up top?

I suppose that's a viable strategy until they score in the first damn minute.

Sanchez couldn't run at the end of that match. I'm kind of nervous about that.

I'm sick of Coquelin pushing up then doing absolutely frick all with the ball. He is a liability when teams press us.

Should have stated giroud. Don't care. You've had a system that gets you results and all the pieces are available. Play them. Should be Walcott on rt, giroud up top Alexis on left. But mainly cus ox can't get his shite together.

Still a good result on the road.

I guess it's possible Wenger was worried about giroud not being able to control his emotions. Dude woke up on the wrong side of the bed for sure.

Obviously he's not the one we want pushing forward, but damn, someone needs to do it. Nobody was making any runs until Giroud went in.

That pass from Ozil to Iwobi for the shot before the goal was beautiful. Also, Iwobi did a great job of trapping it and getting off a nice, hard shot.

Plan was obviously to set up like we did to beat Bayern last year, but Theo picking up a knock, Lucaz arriving so recently, and PSG scoring in 44 seconds kind of killed that.

Like I sort of get what he was trying to do, but I really don't get his reluctance to start Xhaka. Must not be a fan of pairing him with Santi. Wonder if we see more of him once Ramsey is fit.
