We never really tried (just one or two games did not mean “try”) the 2-striker formation, to have one more “forward” to assist and compliment Giroud.
The 2 wide players that we had (in Giroud’s first 2/3 seasons), Theo could not cross, Poldi could cross but not playing enough; and Santi never really went deep but cut in more. The last could of years, Sanchez was more extreme than Santi, ball hog too much, and I don’t even remember who played on our right side at all after Theo’s gone.
When Laca, Miki and Auba came, Giroud already deployed as a substitude.
Not bothered at all, it’s the price we paid to keep brother Griez, let him pick a few mates to play with, anyways I trust my Cholo , he won’t be like Wenger, will realise quickly he’s shit and use him as an occasional super sub and that’s that.
