Giroud just 3 goals behind OAās dream striker Osimhen.
3 different title winners in Serie A last 3 seasons, thatās kind of good to see tbh.
Itās been a very competitive league over the last 5 years
Wish there was more money in the league. Real shame to see how leagues in Europe have declined in quality due to lack of money to attract better quality players and managers
Heās only started 23 games and had a bad facial injury during the season as well as some muscular issues. Heās finally finding his feet in the team and his goal return is excellent. 14 in 23 starts is good
And he offers a lot to the team his profile as a forward is great
Giroud winning the league for Milan. Another ex Arsenal player who left the club to win titles elsewhere
How many minutes has Giroud played?
Inter and Milan both breaking the streaks in back to back seasons.
Juventus really won this thing 10x in a row. Sheesh.
Not sure think heās played slightly less games than Osimhen. Maybe one or two less games but no idea on minutes.
So heās done well then?
They gave the job to Pirlo,
Give the guy his props. Heās been a key piece of the core and contributed in big moments
We can all be selective with stats. Yes he has contributed as you posted above.
But I could also say until today he went like 2 in 10 in the run in and got a lot of help from midfielders scoring.
Bottom line is this, any half decent striker would have been able to do what he has done at Milan.
Problem is he basically disappeared down the stretch once again. Before today, he had something like 2 in his last 10, which is the kind of form that cost us better chances at silverware while he was here.
Milan still won the league despite that stretch of a drought because they had goals coming from elsewhere, which is something every ambitious team needs. Iām not saying Giroud is the next coming of Ronaldo(Brazilian), because he isnāt. But every striker goes through a barren spell every now and then, and that the drought of some particular players gets highlighted more than others.
Sure they do, but the good ones tend to have them less otherwise wouldnāt every striker score the same amount of goals?
Problem with Giroud is that when heās the main guy up front and relied on to score goals he ends up having these barren spells. He did it in the season we lost the title to Leicester, didnāt he go like 20 games without scoring that year?
Heās fine as a backup that provides another option for a team, but the guy is flat out not good enough to be the main striker at a top team.
Yeah, having Giroud as our striker wasnāt the problem during his(and Arseneās) later years, but that he was our only striker and we didnāt have another striker with different attributes who couldāve provided us with a different approach when the going got tough.
Chuffed for Milan. We need such clubs to be relevant again.
