‘Bench him permanently!’ – Twitter reacts to Arsenal star’s performance on Thursday

Criticism leveled at Olivier Giroud over the past few months failed to cease despite the 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.
Arsene Wenger opted to start the French striker for the first time in a while on Thursday as Danny Welbeck returned to the bench.
However, another night without finding the back of the net means that Giroud has now gone 13 games in the league without scoring.
And that is not sitting too well with some of the Arsenal faithful…
At this rate Giroud might leave on the 75th min with some of the fans and we won't notice his absence. Don't know what has happened to him

Tonight should've easily been a 4-0 game, like so many other games this season. Sell Walcott, bench Giroud permanently & sign a proper #9.

Another blank for Giroud. France could realistically enter Euros with a first-choice striker who's without a league goal in five months.

Unfortunately Giroud proves that if the team aren't laying it on a plate for him, he seldom affects the game.

Bonaroca:- I think that Thousands 0f Arsenal Supporters shake their heads when the have to work their heads off to come a see a Centre Forward earning thousands a week for a 90 minute game without scoring in 13 matches.
Wenger to stones as defender,sell Giroud,buy a proper no.9.
Buy stones from Everton
Bench Giroud as sub, Walcott has not been given time to play, given only 10 min and no delivery to him, how can he ever improve his game? Who can deny talent he possesses? Iwobi does not impress in every game, he makes mistakes, gave ball away, selfishness. When Theo starts to play for other clubs, Wenger will regret! What is the real meaning of Rotation? Who wants to sign for Arsenal and sits on bench??? Ramsey did not play well before injury and still does not impress and why was he given to play and not Walcott? For years Arsene has favourism on certain players!
