Giroud lets us down too many times in different ways on and off the pitch

Not the only one tonight. The whole team look like they're there to make up numbers. It's absolutely abysmal stuff.

Utterly crap

Ref is shocking there lads. No way is that a yellow card.

This. Under no circumstances is that a second yellow. Terrible refereeing.

Knives out for Giroud on here yet again I see.

he has put us in a massive hole to even get out of the group now. And an hour with ten just before Chelsea at the weekend. Has been rubbish for near on 6 months now.

Don't think there's much debate that he deserves it this time around

I would say there were whole lot performing worse the Giroud prior to his soft dismissal

Rayne Wooney

Giroud was providing nothing, won't even know he's gone

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

I'm only reading the minute by minute but holy crap...I'm so utterly dejected. A blind man can see what's wrong with arsenal.

Was I the only one who thought Giroud had the look of a man likely to get sent off tonight? He looks perpetually narked.

He did look very agitated

He just got himself sent off. There is no excuse for that. He's a forward. Shut your mouth and do your job, ya know?

Ridiculous for the first card but that second foul is never a yellow card. The ref is a clown

Who should be? He did score at the weekend and had a very good header saved here

The sad thing is he is our best and only #9 which is saying something. He hasnt been great since March now we all know it.

It was a silly lazy challenge. The ref has been poor yes but Giroud didn't help himself but getting the most stupid first yellow card for mouthing off at the ref. Once he did that he was going to be in his crosshairs

efb

I would have brought on Walcott at HT had he not been dismissed

wandatowell

Giroud is a wally.

No excuses. The very least you have to be is professional and he cant even do that.

You can't blame Arsene for Giroud being a fcukin bell end

Can blame him for leaving him on the pitch when he's going around like Joey Barton sans talent.

Im defending him on the fact he has been unfairly sent off and people on here talking ****e saying he shouldnt be anywhere near our team. Laughable stuff.

Awful tripe. lets get a draw here at least and move on

You can't rely on Giroud.

I still think Arsenal could get something from this

Joey Barton,he got two yellows and only made one tackle

His attitude fcuked us over tonight not his foul player. Yellows that sum him up really

Do you think he is good enough to lead the line for Arsenal. We've created more chances per game than any other team in Europe but we've barely scored. How do you explain that?

At least they might be able to do something in the 2nd half. Or make way for someone who can be useful.

Have to at least get a draw here. Was never going to be an easy game and hope to f*ck the Greeks do us a favour

Bobby Baccala

Well that was disastrous haha

Theo on please, wenger should slap the head of debuchy at half time too. Sanchez and Cazorla equally shíte

Unfairly??? He deserves it for his stupidity and attitude all half. He isn't mentally strong enough for a top team

Getting sent off during an uneventful first half is criminal, you can't defend that

Did all of those fall to Giroud?

Meant more the going on like an arsehole who wants to be sent off.


Would still be disappointed if we don't get a draw from here.

I have said already he shouldnt be our no.1 striker. He doesnt suit our style of play. Is that his fault? No. For a lad who has scored 43 times in 102 games for the club I think he deserves a bit more respect.

For most of the games he has been our sole striker. If they're not falling to him, he's been failing at a whole different side of his game.

It wasn't a clear chance the goalie was there too. It wasn't an open goal. They aren't scored 100% of the time 50% perhaps

What about the rest of the team? Should we ignore that the rest of them look like they couldn't be arsed either? Giroud got the ball maybe twice in the box and put both of them on target. Were any other shots on target so far?

Moving away from Giroud, I think too many changes were made for the game. Gibbs and Debuchy look rusty and Arteta has given the ball away a few times as well.

efb

I'd take off Ox put on Walcott

Lads seriously if yous are trying to say that wasn't a sitter then there's really no point engaging with yous.

I dont think Giroud is good enough to lead the line and there are better strikers probably available but the reaction here is bordering on hysterical, granted he's been poor tonight, got himself sent off stupidly but he's now a twat, a waste of space, a donkey, an idiot, a clown that should fcuk off back to Montpellier, a dick, joey barton (ffs) an arsehole and a wally amongst other things.

Some of you are starting to sound like Liverpool fans

There isn't a striker available in world football better than him according to some on here.

The rest have a chance to redeem themselves.

**** it, forget Giroud. What other player has made any decent attempt on goal so far tonight? Has any player actually done anything resembling making a contribution to us scoring tonight?

What happened was virtually identical to the Zagreb goal on both deflections went their way.

He was unlucky with the header too.

But stupid stupid from Giroud. Perhaps he didn't think it was a free kick but shrug your shoulders, maybe even throw your arms up in the air (not in the direction of the ref) and get on with it. Senior member of the squad and he should know better.

Who's available? If one available is better I always wanted to sign him
