Well it wasn't just a solitary goal last year was it Hood. Last season Giroud scored 13 goals and got 10 assists. He still gets selected for France as per their last international game played and was wanted by us, Roma and Inter in the January transfer window. Clearly he's useful as and when required even as a 33 year old who struggles to complete 90 minutes at this level now.

Yeah because a lot of people on here listen to me...
Don't be daft you Monaghan/South London troll. Your next red will be for the same reason as all your other ones... a lot of people just think you're a wanker.
Being outplayed by dross has been happening for months, way back to last season. First game of the season we were in big trouble against Villa until the last 20 minutes. We got bullied by a terrible Fulham side at Craven Cottage last year and scraped a win somehow. This team has big problems that were around long before Mourinho turned up. The injuries are just making it twice as hard to fix.
I have nothing to hide old chap.
Been going to spurs since 1979/80. If additional allegiance to the club of my upbringing is a problem - you are the problem not me.
So goals in the Europa league against European minows are indicative of his class?!? Again he scored 2 in the league, 2 and had zero goals in the league this season prior to today.
As for playing for France? So what? He didn’t score if any single World Cup game despite playing in all of them and has only scored 1 international goal since then.
Wow.
I do think there are some concerning signs from him but we can't ignore we are without two of the best forwards in the world and Jose hasn't had an offseason to implement the way he wants to play.
Maybe I want to be optimistic but I still think it's unfair to judge him until at least next season.

wernt you banned? it was better when you were
If he was finished completely at the top level would Deschamps still be selecting him?
How about his bloke. 33 yard of age, the same as Giroud, only scored 1 Ligue 1 goal since 8/18/19. Is he finished as well? If so why are Atletico so keen?

Giroud isn't fit enough for week in, week out 90 minutes but to ignore his quality is foolish mate. There's many other players who achieved great things at an age older than Giroud is. As a squad player to help out when injured he wouldn't probably be the difference in us being able to cope without Sonny and Kane, let's be honest.

Much like Giroud; we got crucified by the discontents for not signing Cavani too..... Small world innit.
As you know ive already conceded that part of the problem lies with ENICand Levy but only part
Poch has to take his share of the blame
Do you really think that if he’d still been in charge today’s result would have been any different?
We certainly wouldn’t be in this league position, still in the CL and still in the FA Cup
We lost 0-2 to Chelsea in December with Kane, Son (for a while) and Sissoko on the pitch - none of the Special Geniuses excuses this time applied then. He has lost twice in a short period of time to a total newbie manager. It’s hard to improve when you believe you are the best in the world at your job. But that is what needs to happen, and urgently. I wish I could believe in it.
Is he going to continue moaning on every single pre and post match interviews and conferences how his team cannot win any game because he doesn't have a 7 feet donkey upfront to hoof the ball to?
He has a group of midfield players capable of keeping possession and create several clear cut chances every game, why is he not coming up with tactics suitable to players strengths available at his disposal?

What miracle did Poch achieve?
Moaning? Or perhaps stating facts?
