Completely agree. Giroud is a quality player, he does so much work that goes unnoticed, his ability to drag defenders out of position helped Theo and Poldolski get into goalscoring positions. When needed he is quality at defending from the front and his aerial ability is always gonna cause problems. Good to see him scoring plenty in pre-season, Hope it continues when the premiership starts.
everyone was on his back but you could tell he was just finding his feet. you rarely see him lose an aerial battle. his strength is brilliant and his link up play is sublime. my favorite player purely for his fighting spirit.
He has a great touch and he is surprisingly very agile for someone of his size... people forget he has only played in the premier league for half a season in basically a new arsenal team. I like this guy
I love watching this guy play the amount of work he puts in its unreal people say he is crap and so on but he isn't! he is a great player and this is only his 1st season at arsenal getting use to the EPL imagine next season when he got use to it, he will only score more and more goals! he is great end of!
Good work! good video! I really enjoy watching Giroud Play, he´s a hard worker and has lots of class. Plus, he´s a strong physical player... I think we´ll benefit a lot from his spell at Arsenal, let it be good...!
This week he has been absolutely dominant, 4 goals and an assist in 2 games and just all round impressive performances. God I wish that overhead kick would have made it a hattrick today.
His first season in Arsenal reminds me his first season in Montpellier. He's an excellent striker who can adapt and improve because he's smart. Enjoy the new season.
He scored our first against Liverpool. That made us able to make the comeback and get it to 2-2. He scored in the COC Cup against Reading as soon as he came on.
i believed in him, from his first apperance, and, well, he has become really good and adapted the english playstyle great. he's a beast in the air magical flicks, from time to time good passes, with both feet and head pretty good shot world class movement he even has OK pace he is exactly what we need up front!
Olivier Giroud, He may not be the best striker in the world. Yes, His finishing skills is way below par compared to other strikers in the world such as rooney, drogba , van persie, suarez, berbatov, But come on Guys ,please Cut come slack to Giroud, He is doing everything that he can for the team. He had been playing almost all the games we had this season , and he have continuous giving everything he can for the team, He maybe not be the idea striker we want as an Arsenal fan, but come on if he can give his 110 percent effort on the pitch for the team, As fans we should give him the support he need .
YOU got that right! Giroud, i think, in two years, could be top 6 striker in PL.. Why? Even in this video, you can se: moment realisation, is a hard worker, not peoples amazer and has a good pace.. GO GUNNERS!!
Truth is, he's a great striker. If you can't see it, I'm sorry, that's just a fact. Want to know how good he is, he can play along Benzema, Griezman, Pogba, Cabaye, Valbuena and he doesn't look like the odd man out. He makes them look good. He has slick passing, and movement and a great touch on the ball.
I hope for giroud to take more chances and improve his finishing next season. Shame he doesn't take many long shots for arsenal as he seems to have it in his locker.
He is a top class player.. he will score plenty of goals for us.. just need time his movement off the ball is one of the best in the league so just be patience with him and he will deliver
Exactly, people are saying that he is a flop and that he is shit but he has actually been not bad considering it is his first season and he is still adjusting to the EPL and Arsenal's style of play. Hopefully by next season he will be settled and can bang in goals like he did at Montpellier.
To people who say he's crap or not good enough.. i suggest you watch him play off the ball and on the ball..Yes, i admit he's not the quickest but his movement is top class.. He's someone we've lacked since Adebayor who can hold the ball up well as well as score some headers. Most of our ball to the strikers come from crosses and he's just perfect.. he'll be a top player in 2 season mark my words.. i''ve seen him play over 2 years in Ligue 1 he has all the attributes to succeed at Arsenal.
so happy Giroud is clicking with the team this season.. I think last season he felt that he had to replicate Van Persie's performances, he tried to do too much by himself in the first season, I remember him attempting a shot from 30 yards against stoke I think... But this season his game has changed.. now it's all about bringing the other players into play, Don't mind if he doesn't score 30 goals a season, but it looks like he'll score 15 and assist 15, that's fine by me..
It looked good at first glance, but the replay showed it was going miles wide if not for a deflection off of Sagna. However the fact he managed to get his big frame into the air and strike the ball showed skill and determination. He has improved, maybe we don't need Higuain or Suarez.
Giroud and Podolski... This might just be our year. Regardless of what anyone says, I trust in Wegner and how far he has brought our club thus far. All we need to do is have a bit more faith in him and stop bitching pls, once we starts winning again just watch how many people will get off the fence and start supporting us again.
Obviously there are better strikers out there but they cost a lost more. For the money he came in he is delivering. I am not disappointed in him. And I like his work-rate.
Giroud has now scored 16 goals in 35 games in his first season while Van Persie scored only 10 goals in 41 appearances in his first season at Arsenal. Now look at RvP, he is looked at as one of the best strikers in the world.
He is a really potential player, no doubt bout that. His header, set-up, movement in the box is superb. BUT what i dont understand is his shooting, in Mont. his shooting is great but now he is not showing it in Arsenal.
You cannot say he is not 100% committed, all he needs is service and im sure he will get goals, obviously he doesn't have the finesse of van persie, but not many do. OOOLALALAALALA GIROUDDD.
Giroud has a higher ceiling. He actually brings others into play. He has 9 assists this season and it's his first season in the PL. Give him some time will you.
You clearly don't know your football. He can't be that bad if he was the top scorer in Ligue 1, he has scored 17 goals this season and gives us a real option upfront. He is an aerial threat and has great positioning and is great at holding the ball up. He has showed some lovely touches this season and created some nice goals. Remember he is still adjusting to the Prem and he has scored more than Drogba and RvP did in their first seasons in the EPL. You will be eating your words in a few years.
In the first season, rather than netting, he spent more time on getting used to the club, but this season rather than getting used to, he's been netting.
the biggest teams Cazorla has scored in this season is United switched of defense in extra time and a goal at Liverpool which was an error by the keeper.
Drogba scored 10 in 26 BPL games but he split goals with mutu and Crespo. I dont take back what i said but, Giroud has shown the grit and determination to get the job done for us in the bpl this season and he's getting results, but he cant do this an entire season, we needed another striker, I am ecstatic about the ADDITION OF OZIL. and i dont believe we are in need of a conventional DM all it will do is slow down our play. ramsey arteta jack will provide enough cover with their IQ and hard work
Just because the majority of his goals are tap-ins doesn't mean that he is an average player, it is just the type of player he is. He is a target man/poacher, not a glamorous play but he has brilliant positioning and is an aerial threat, he is also great at holding the ball up and laying off midfielders. Van Nistelrooy always scored tap-ins, was he average? Giroud wasn't the top scorer in Ligue 1 by being average.
This guy is completely underrated.
So so so so so underrated class act of a player
His been involved in more goals than I thought. Him, Podolski and Walcott need to be our top 3. Great Video.
I dont speak english only say olivier is very handsome!! Beautiful and wonderfull. Sorry for my bad english
He is a striker, he is a target man, a dummy runner, and sometimes a defender all in one single guy
Solid performance yesterday, happy to see him succeeding. A Montpellier supporter.
Great work. Hes been great. Ive never seen such a strong physical striker drop back in midfield often and do well like he does
Completely agree. Giroud is a quality player, he does so much work that goes unnoticed, his ability to drag defenders out of position helped Theo and Poldolski get into goalscoring positions. When needed he is quality at defending from the front and his aerial ability is always gonna cause problems. Good to see him scoring plenty in pre-season, Hope it continues when the premiership starts.
Giroud has become one of my favorites for Arsenal!
everyone was on his back but you could tell he was just finding his feet. you rarely see him lose an aerial battle. his strength is brilliant and his link up play is sublime. my favorite player purely for his fighting spirit.
After i watched him play today both of his two goals were OUTSTANDING
He has a great touch and he is surprisingly very agile for someone of his size... people forget he has only played in the premier league for half a season in basically a new arsenal team. I like this guy
Nice work buddy, really enjoyable compilation to watch.
Miss this guy at Arsenal
really great video! love it, more please!
I love watching this guy play the amount of work he puts in its unreal people say he is crap and so on but he isn't! he is a great player and this is only his 1st season at arsenal getting use to the EPL imagine next season when he got use to it, he will only score more and more goals! he is great end of!
actually his build-ups, passes and shots are pure class !! and those headers are brilliant also..
I like him. He plays in my beloved club!!
Good work! good video!
I really enjoy watching Giroud Play, he´s a hard worker and has lots of class. Plus, he´s a strong physical player... I think we´ll benefit a lot from his spell at Arsenal, let it be good...!
Top, top player. Goals and assists. link up play, amazing
this video makes me happy
He's a beast in the air, great header of the ball. He's gonna be a great premier league striker.
This week he has been absolutely dominant, 4 goals and an assist in 2 games and just all round impressive performances. God I wish that overhead kick would have made it a hattrick today.
I love videos like this. Thanks! (Go Gunners!)
He has become critical for Arsenal's squad! not only scoring goals bu delivering stunning assists!
His first season in Arsenal reminds me his first season in Montpellier. He's an excellent striker who can adapt and improve because he's smart. Enjoy the new season.
He scored our first against Liverpool. That made us able to make the comeback and get it to 2-2. He scored in the COC Cup against Reading as soon as he came on.
Riktigt bra jobbat! Greetings from Sweden!
i believed in him, from his first apperance, and, well, he has become really good and adapted the english playstyle great.
he's a beast in the air
magical flicks, from time to time
good passes, with both feet and head
pretty good shot
world class movement
he even has OK pace
he is exactly what we need up front!
Oh thanks man, It means alot when it comes from you
Olivier Giroud, He may not be the best striker in the world. Yes, His finishing skills is way below par compared to other strikers in the world such as rooney, drogba , van persie, suarez, berbatov, But come on Guys ,please Cut come slack to Giroud, He is doing everything that he can for the team.

yes that is very true i agree
3 fa cups later it all worked out
excellent video! Unique mix of Michael Jackson and Giroud :)
Somehow go together! enjoyed this
YOU got that right! Giroud, i think, in two years, could be top 6 striker in PL.. Why? Even in this video, you can se: moment realisation, is a hard worker, not peoples amazer and has a good pace.. GO GUNNERS!!
back at ya.
Truth is, he's a great striker. If you can't see it, I'm sorry, that's just a fact. Want to know how good he is, he can play along Benzema, Griezman, Pogba, Cabaye, Valbuena and he doesn't look like the odd man out. He makes them look good. He has slick passing, and movement and a great touch on the ball.
For all of Giroud's goals this season, he's taken no more than 2 touches. That's the sign of a quality striker being in the right place
Nice work as it does not only contain Giroud's goals and following celebrations.
I hope for giroud to take more chances and improve his finishing next season. Shame he doesn't take many long shots for arsenal as he seems to have it in his locker.
Great video, Great player
I have faith in Giroud. he'll be a legend for arsenal.
im a liverpool fan and this player (olivier giroud) is one hell of a player...
He is a top class player.. he will score plenty of goals for us.. just need time his movement off the ball is one of the best in the league so just be patience with him and he will deliver
Exactly, people are saying that he is a flop and that he is shit but he has actually been not bad considering it is his first season and he is still adjusting to the EPL and Arsenal's style of play. Hopefully by next season he will be settled and can bang in goals like he did at Montpellier.

He is AMAZING!!
Well said, most players take between 6 months - 12 months to settle when they first come to England, if they settle before that then it is a bonus.
KING IN THE AIR.
Very goood work
He's playing with real confidence right now!
Giroud is a player that can make assists and score goals, which I love about.
so happy Giroud is clicking with the team this season.. I think last season he felt that he had to replicate Van Persie's performances, he tried to do too much by himself in the first season, I remember him attempting a shot from 30 yards against stoke I think...

Boom! Nice stat dude.
It looked good at first glance, but the replay showed it was going miles wide if not for a deflection off of Sagna. However the fact he managed to get his big frame into the air and strike the ball showed skill and determination. He has improved, maybe we don't need Higuain or Suarez.
He is going to display better in next season onwards for sure.
Like it or not Giroud is a key player and important player in the team.
he's playing in the international france is beautiful. so it's about time he show more amazing playing in the gunners.
so underrated
he's great! next time trying make the one that shows his great movements in the box..thats one thing people dont seem to notice about this guy!
probablly RVP cant be replaced, he's top strikes atm for sure if we count also Messi, CR & Falcao.
This is in all competitions.
good stuff
Giroud and Podolski... This might just be our year. Regardless of what anyone says, I trust in Wegner and how far he has brought our club thus far. All we need to do is have a bit more faith in him and stop bitching pls, once we starts winning again just watch how many people will get off the fence and start supporting us again.
Perfect guy!!
Obviously there are better strikers out there but they cost a lost more. For the money he came in he is delivering. I am not disappointed in him. And I like his work-rate.
Alternatives is needed, yes. But Giroud has had a good start to his arsenal career. The past two games have been outstanding.
The Next Arsenal Legend...
HOLY SHIT He can do just about anything if he's in the mood.BRILLIANT TECHNIQUE!!!
That last part where Podolski is pulling Giroud's shirt endlessly..hahahahahah..so cute..
Ahhh this guys knows football lads finnally some1 that thinks like me THNX Buddy :)
just awsome
Keep going son .
He is a unique player. There's no striker like him.
Relax lads... The best of Giroud is yet to come!!
Grande fan !
Giroud has now scored 16 goals in 35 games in his first season while Van Persie scored only 10 goals in 41 appearances in his first season at Arsenal. Now look at RvP, he is looked at as one of the best strikers in the world.
34 starts, 11 goals, 4 assists in PL, TOTAL ; 47 games, 17 goals, 10 asists. Said enough.
Podolski on 1:12 : " Oh yeah see you scored my friend ... yeah ... wait no, not the kiss, nooooo! " *censured by Gibbs*
He is a really potential player, no doubt bout that. His header, set-up, movement in the box is superb. BUT what i dont understand is his shooting, in Mont. his shooting is great but now he is not showing it in Arsenal.
He's so strong!
are you actually joking? he is world class... and in a year or two.. he will be insane
You cannot say he is not 100% committed, all he needs is service and im sure he will get goals, obviously he doesn't have the finesse of van persie, but not many do. OOOLALALAALALA GIROUDDD.
Very good an original man ! Just need the goal against Coventry
look at the reactions after that sunderland miss! what a shot that was! (0:45)
Giroud has a higher ceiling. He actually brings others into play. He has 9 assists this season and it's his first season in the PL. Give him some time will you.
i say this i never doubted him when others did-he is fucking brilliant ,beautiful movment!!
He is a very good player, just needs to keep an eye on scroing more goals and he will become great goalscorer!
ARSENAL FOREVER!!! :DDD
You clearly don't know your football. He can't be that bad if he was the top scorer in Ligue 1, he has scored 17 goals this season and gives us a real option upfront. He is an aerial threat and has great positioning and is great at holding the ball up. He has showed some lovely touches this season and created some nice goals. Remember he is still adjusting to the Prem and he has scored more than Drogba and RvP did in their first seasons in the EPL. You will be eating your words in a few years.
and how many assist have they? He is an essential part of arsenal's team
Giroud is only 26 years old, he is going to be so good over the years
In the first season, rather than netting, he spent more time on getting used to the club, but this season rather than getting used to, he's been netting.
Hes a good player and can improve still as he is young. Arsenal don't play to his strengths enough though.
the biggest teams Cazorla has scored in this season is United switched of defense in extra time and a goal at Liverpool which was an error by the keeper.
Yep that's true I hope giroud hit his peak next season (2013/2014) season
I love you Giroud
Drogba scored 10 in 26 BPL games but he split goals with mutu and Crespo. I dont take back what i said but, Giroud has shown the grit and determination to get the job done for us in the bpl this season and he's getting results, but he cant do this an entire season, we needed another striker, I am ecstatic about the ADDITION OF OZIL. and i dont believe we are in need of a conventional DM all it will do is slow down our play. ramsey arteta jack will provide enough cover with their IQ and hard work
he scored 17 in all competitions, 11 in the prem
How will it be like if he would be rough criminal?
NANANANANANANANANAAAAAA GIROUUUUUDDDD !!!!!! #HeyJude
Just because the majority of his goals are tap-ins doesn't mean that he is an average player, it is just the type of player he is.
