Giroud mindset
World Cup winning center forward and didn’t score a goal. Wonder how he feels about that.

Re: Giroud mindset
Not sure he'll give a toss. He's won the World Cup and played a big part in the team.

Re: Giroud mindset
Played a huge part. No criticism from me but his contribution was not capped off with a goal or two

Re: Giroud mindset
Not scored admittedly but his contribution in the last three games has been significantly better than that of the golden boot winner...

If I could play up front, not manage to score, but collect a World Cup winners’ medal, I think I’d take it

Re: Giroud mindset
Perhaps that what we are lacking. After they won it last time with stephane guivarch.
And I am sure he would trade his three goals at euro 2016 for a winners medal. Much like kane would trade his 6 goals...

Re: Giroud mindset
Clearly Giroud is fulfilling his role in the team,and Deschamps is happy with him,they scored 4 against the Argies,and 4 in the final so they must be doing something right.
Re: Giroud mindset
Bad player
Re: Giroud mindset
Yet arsenal fans were in meltdown as to why lacazette didn't get picked.

Re: Giroud mindset
If Kane had been more like Giroud and played for the team then England would have made the final. He had ample opportunity to square the ball to Sterling for two nil but selfishly tried to score because of his focus on winning the Golden Boot. Cost England big time.bobinho wrote:Not scored admittedly but his contribution in the last three games has been significantly better than that of the golden boot winner...

You seen Sterlings miss at the turf last season? It wasn’t a given he’d have scored.Foulthrow wrote:If Kane had been more like Giroud and played for the team then England would have made the final.

Well, no, I suppose not.

Re: Giroud mindset
Kane has been pure garbage. I was convinced he was carrying an injury until he was picked for the 3rd place play off game.

Re: Giroud mindset
Never in a million years would Kane have squared that and am glad he didnt. Because a striker should only have eyes for goal when in that situation.Foulthrow wrote:If Kane had been more like Giroud and played for the team then England would have made the final.

He is one of the most lethal strikers in world football and was already on 6 for this world cup and only two players (Ronaldo and Klose in 2002) have scored more in the last 30 years! He was right to go for goal.

Re: Giroud mindset
Giroud was pivotal for France's success; he could win the high ball, hold it up and bring others into play with exquisite link up play.
The area of expertise where Kane lacks a lot, imo.

Not just that miss.. The diving header from trippiers volleyed cross.. About 2 seconds too late.cricketfieldclarets wrote:Never in a million years would Kane have squared that and am glad he didnt. Because a striker should only have eyes for goal when in that situation.
