anyone notice gibbs have a go at giroud

shot was definitely on for giroud - shame he missed 'cos it was great run and pass - just thought gibbs was out of order

All players want to score so from Girouds perspective he is a striker and had a chancve dso went for it, from Gibbs perspectice he was in a better position.

It was one of those if it goes in its the right decision, if it doesnt, it isnt. Easy to say with hindsight and I can understand both of them wanting the opportunity to shoot.

If you looked closely, after shouting at Giroud he did console him though

Shot was on and he is a striker, do hit it. As I recall it, there was a defender slightly ahead of the line he'd have had to pass across so no guarantee that the ball would have got there/shot wouldn't have been blocked.

what did he say - you're shiite you useless c2nt... never mind let me give you a hug!

I feel sorry for Giroud, so far he's had 2 great chances but they're all snap shots and he still hasn't had a chance to shoot when the ball was at his feet.

He should've pass it to guarantee a goal but if I was in his position I wouldv'e tried to score myself

i quite like the fact that santi, podolski and giroud are prepared to take shot rather than always look for the pass - anyway like it said on another thread giroud is destined to score vs s'hampton anyway

Gibbs has no right to have a go, he wasn't in a better position and he had 3 opportunities in the game to set up Giroud to score a header, had time and space to cross, and all where awful and overshot.

Only Chamakh, as a striker, would pass in that position. I'm glad Giroud took a shot.

I think 99 out of 100 times a striker/forward will take that shot, NOT pass it.
