Forwards
Olivier Giroud was a quiet figure on Monday and during the initial phases of the match it seemed like he was just having an off night. Later on it was evident though that his role against Hull was different because of the way they played. Hull played with a back three and they spent most of their cutting the supply off to Giroud. Giroud was smart though and used Hull’s back three to free up space for his teammates.
On the second goal, his run away from the ball drew two defenders with him, freeing up the middle for Ramsey to burst in to. From their Ramsey finished with a bit of luck. On the third goal, Giroud did the same. He made a run away from the run of Alexis which drew one defender with him and forced another defender to hesitate just enough for Alexis to go clean through and round the keeper.
Having said all of that, Giroud was quiet but effective last week. With Welbeck out for another week, Giroud starts again regardless of what Wenger, whose opinion matters the most, thought of his compatriot’s performance.
