Second behind Leicester? Have you no shame. I know you have never been very bright but shouldnt you have shame at least

BTW you stated on Nairaland several years ago that your dream was to sleep with Fabregas, How's that dream coming on?

Let's not be carried away please Giroud is still shit.
That guy is not a footballer, Wenger should stop starting him please.

Spy360:
Giroud got the highest rating for an Arsenal player vs Leicester.

It seems we all are just prejudised.

proudlysports:
Great result. Thank God for great mercies.

For one, I enjoyed how we varied our game today. Seemed the boys had instructions to pump the ball into the Leicester box cos that was exactly what we did and it paid off. We scored three goals today from crossing the ball into the box (although one was rightly offside). Mr Wenger, hope you've learnt from this. Not all the time pass, pass, pass.
I'm even happier about Giroud laying off the ball for others. He did it for Ozil against Bournemouth and against Leicester, he laid off a glorious ball for Walcott. Hope to see more of that.
I know Ramsey is desperate to score but he needs to know that if there's another player in a better position, he should pass!

Overall, good game. Bold decisions all round by the ref.

Hull City is next. Meanwhile, I noticed the requests here for Elneny has somewhat reduced. Is there a reason why?

Is there a problem??

kokaneprodigy:
Walcott had the highest rating, at least 3 other players had higher rating than Giroud.

Spy360:
Yes na!

You lost to Sunderland, we beat Leicester or are you crweazy?

Spy360:
Even with that he was still effective ahead of Sanchez.

Meanwhile, Skysports' ratings are the official and he got the highest.

His presence was a thorn on Huth and Morgan, he created the assist for Walcott with a brilliant knock down, he being fouled got Simpson the red, plus he almost got the winner apart from an unbelievable save for Schmeichel. Cut the lad some slack.

kokaneprodigy:
How many yards of slack should I cut him?
I'll disagree with u on this one spy, Giroud is shit to be called a striker, and it's even shittier for him to be a regular CF for an elite team like Arsenal.
For fck sake he can't dribble, he can't run at defenders, he can't run at all. Did you see how he played the ball to hit a defender just cos he had no one to pass to?
Nothing spectacular about the red card he got for us, he wasn't a threat,he wasn't even near the box, the over zealousness of his marker got him the red.

iPopAlomo:
Always out of Position... To dey see my striker for 4 dey bust my brain gan... why his the mf in midfield....?! I've always hated him... if he scores 50 goals this season... he's still shit...

Mesut Ozil has created more in this season's Premier League than Steven Gerrard or Ryan Giggs EVER did

Gerrard and Giggs: already out-created by Ozil
Mesut Ozil's assist stats for 2015/16 are RIDICULOUS.

Arsenal's German playmaker has already set up 17 Premier League goals this term, meaning he is on course to break Thierry Henry's record for most assists in a Premier League season (20).

However, an assist requires the player on the end of your pass doing his bit. What happens if we look purely at the chances Ozil has created (i.e. if we include the opportunities he created but his team mates missed)?

That's when you realise just how incredibly creative Arsenal's Assist King has been. Following the 2-1 win against Leicester, Ozil has become only the 13th player to create more than 100 chances in a Premier League season.


With a massive 12 games of 2015/16 left, he has already created 106 chances for his pals . To give you some idea of how insane that number is, Arsenal's No10 has just gone past the best season records of both Steven Gerrard and Ryan Giggs - and he still has nearly a third of the campaign to ....
...
Not a fact Liverpool or Man United fans will enjoy… but it gets even better for Arsenal fans.

At his current rate of 4.4 chances created per game, Ozil will create 159 chances this season (assuming he doesn't miss another game).

And as you can see from looking at the current record, that will make Ozil's 2015/16 the most creative individual season in Premier League history… by a mile:

Swear for wenger for not signing Suarez

edoyad:
I stand my ground, Wenger had failed us in terms of getting a be-fitting 9. While Giroud would be a great back for us, we still need an excellent finisher, no matter the price

kokaneprodigy:
50? ozil alone has created more than 100 chances not talk of chances that have been created by others in the team, with Giroud being at the end to finish off most of them and what does he have to show, just 12 goals.
spy360 pls stop defending this guy

Spy360:
My point is why blame me for not doing something when you know I can't.
Every goat knows that Giroud cant dribble or run. He can only nod or shoot or flick in assists; and he does them.
Asking Giroud to dribble like Messi or run like Aubameyang is like asking Patience Jonathan to look like Beyonce or speak as Okonji.
Make una leave the guy joor, e don try. Rather tell Wenger to buy a world class striker.

Rooney out for 2 months
