Arsenal Critics (Jeer Leaders or Football Einsteins) who endlessly despise certain Players would rather form their own Club and buy the perfect Stars they prefer. Many Complainers do not even own Club Shares, so why not allow the signed-up Gunners display their Prowess till Contract expires? Every Gunner has his own Strengths! Winning, drawing and losing are a natural, unavoidable, invincible Cycle every Fan must accept. You grow out of the Blame Mindset and just stomach the Lows while you also enjoy the Highs. Be good to yourself and tame your Anger or frustrated Reactions! Even EPL Champions Leicester lost twice to Arsenal (only Team to beat them Home and Away; Leicester's third Loss was away at Liverpool on Boxing Day). So, what is wrong with Arsenal celebrating 2nd or 3rd Place for the rest your Life? They still get automatic Qualification to the UEFA Champions League like the Champs. There is no Football Team that wins a Trophy every Season, it doesn't exist! I wonder why "plastic Fans" cuss like if they were given a Jersey and included in the Lineup, Arsenal would win every Match! Top 4 aint too bad!
Oli takes the Brunt of the Abuse for Arsenal Failures. But to be realistic, Criticism can become unnecessarily toxic even for hardworking Professionals. A few bad Games ruin a Player's Confidence when the People supposed to support him instead chastise him. I cannot blame Mesut Oezil for his Dips in Form, it's temporary while his Class is permanent; I would rather discourage impatient Rants from Fans who are too hard to please making the German appear like he doesn't put in Effort and is always very lazy. Some of these Players give their all but it doesn't add up because of Fate or Fatigue. When Millionaire Businessman Mathieu Flamini scores a wonderful Brace to dump eternal Rivals Tottenham out of a Cup Competition, do you still talk ish about him? Are you a fair weather Gooner? Although not too flamboyant, Flamini brought needed Steel to the Midfield when he made his Second Coming to Arsenal before Francis Coquelin returned from a Loan Spell to take Defensive Midfield to the Next Level. If only Gooners show the same kind of Solidarity they showed against Manchester United in the 2016 Premiership at the Emirates (3-0 in the first 20 Minutes), there will be no Problems! Every Gunner got fairly good Reviews from Fans on Social Media that Day. Since Giroud joined Arsenal four Years ago, the North Londoners have won two FA Cups plus two Community Shields and never missed a Champions League Season (Record since 1998), but for some, it still isn't good enough. Arsenal even finished 2nd in the Premiership for the first Time since moving to the Emirates in 2006. The last Time they finished 2nd was at Highbury in the 2004-2005 Season. The Trends are looking good: in 2014, they were 4th, 2015: 3rd, 2016: 2nd. The Next Best Thing is 1st.
The Away Game against Manchester City on Sunday 8th May 2016 proved that Giroud is a good Man and Critics ought to cut him some Slack! He hadn't scored for 16 Premiership Matches (since the wonderful Brace at Anfield in January 2016) before the quick-Response Equaliser from Elneny's Corner (two Minutes after Aguero's Opener) but it highlighted his Bouncebackability and aerial Sharpness. Oli is not as fast and sleek as Messi nor fiery like Henry but heads better than both. Arsene Wenger considers him the "Best Header" he has ever had, much stronger than Moroccan Marouane Chamakh who was unbelievably lethal with his Head in his first six Arsenal Games.
In the final EPL Game on Sunday 15th May 2016 against relegated Aston Villa (Arsenal's 2015 FA Cup Final Opponents whom they had beaten 4-0 and Oli got the fourth), Giroud scored a Hattrick as if to silence his Critics. Interim Captain Mikel Arteta, back from Injury, got the fourth: his last Arsenal Goal before leaving the Squad.
Oli's Hold-up Play is also commendable: he sets up several Goals for Teammates, Things Critics overlook. It wasn't Europe's Assist Master (Oezil) who set up the winning Goal in the 2014 FA Cup Final, it was Giroud! Also in the 2-2 Draw at the Etihad that ensured that Arsenal qualifies for the Champions League, Giroud deftly assisted for Alexis Sanchez's Equaliser, World Cup Things.
