Can Giroud double his tally from last season? He seems alot leaner than before, and seems to have a more assured, determined composure this pre-season. |

I would not be surprised from what Ive seen. I can really see a situation where he scores 25+ goals this season and the big boys come acallin". At which point he'll pull a Suarez until we sell him. PS My outlook on the upcoming season is bleak. Think I may concentrate on the NFL (my teams the Packers and Giants are always contenders) |

Giants? Blech. And PACKERS?! Seriously??? BTW, how can you like two teams from the NFC? Especially two teams with a playoff history against each other? I get enough flak for liking two teams in different conferences. |

Anyway, back to the question. Giroud does seem like he's playing preseason with a chip on his shoulder. But the key word is "preseason". I really think he'll improve from last year. His confidence wasn't high at all the first few months last year. Still...there's no denying an upgrade there wouldn't hurt. |

I felt, when I saw some of the other preseason games, that he looked a lot leaner than he was. He looks much better for it and it won't hurt his pace at all. |

Just watched yesterday's game. Giroud looked very good after coming on. He looks a LOT more confident and assured. |

Giroud can be viewed a number of ways. He can of course become more lethal and possibly even double his goal haul. What was missing in some parts of last season was coherence between him and Podolski or Walcott. I'm saying this because if he scored five more goals and upped his assist total to those two I wouldn't care that much. Assists are probably a superficial measure of what I'm talking about as strikers can create goals for each other just by peeling off defenders and cover. But it's a measure I will accept. But I would still prefer we went out and bought a proven lethal striker, one who also does the above and helps the team to click at the front. |

I actually thought that his breakout last year occurred when Podolski was at his best on the left, and he started slumping again when Poldi started to look jaded/was injured. But your overriding point is sound. Edited by rw_mlite2, Aug 11 2013, 07:05 PM.

His link up with Poldo was actually good. Some nice flicks and understanding between that 2. With Walcott not so. Grioud is not knocking the balls down to walcott's path and Walcott is not using Giroud's size and physicality to his advantage to do the damage. |

He'll probably improve this season, the more reason I don't think Michu is an uprgrade, to get an upgrade of Giroud we need a really top top striker like suarez. I think we might be making a mistake here, by thinking the problem of our attack is just Giroud, the problem is our front 3 there's not enough quality there. For example if bench the ineffective Podolski and the "rookie" oxlade and get a world class and effective outside forward/Winger like Bale,Ribery ,Robben ,Reus or di maria(I know they are not available just saying) , we would get more goals upfront. |
