That's it

Yes much better. Not the long term answer but much better

Giroud is better than Morata and we play so much better as a team when he is on.

He is the answer right now but in the long term he isn't the answer and I think most people know that

Morata just isn't the answer to any question anyone has

Giroud would be OK in a team with goalscoring players around him. Doesn't have that in this Chelsea team though.

I just don't see how Giroud is "much" better; we've seen better form from Morata at Chelsea than Giroud.

I think if Giroud were to be given a consistent run of games, fans would be just as frustrated.

I remember the days when we use to laugh at Giroud when we saw him in the starting line-up for Arsenal. Most of their fans wanted him out every season.

Why bring on a player that is never going to score

I would seriously consider trying out RLC or some other out-of-position player as your striker.

There can’t be that much to lose, considering that whoever starts out of your two nominal ‘strikers’ is just going to frustrate and be hooked for the other one after 60-70 minutes.

No idea if RLC is even capable of doing the striker basics, but at least when I’ve seen him he looks composed in front of goal.

We haven’t even started giroud in 2/3 consecutive games. Last time we did that we won the Fa cup

I mooted playing Rubes as striker three weeks ago...still think we should

I can get why you might prefer Giroud to Morata, but he’s been playing long enough now in the PL to know he isn’t the answer and never will be. He’s just as likely to score three or four in consecutive games, as he is to go off the boil for months at a time, just like the man you want him to replace.

Bit harsh to blame giroud for not doing much against Fulham Brum, made run after run and alonso alone wasted 5 crosses that giroud would have attacked.

Sorry Nick but when he starts he's generally been totally ineffective for me.

I don't doubt his endeavour but he's no CF!

I personally think we should investigate seeing if we can bring Abraham back from Vanilla in January. I didn't think we could but have seen some links suggesting we could.

We are willing to spend 50-60 million pounds to sign defemders but get afraid of spending 80-100 million pounds on quality strikers and attacking midfielders plus wingers.
