So what we do now with Ramsey surely out at least for everton, do we go with Theo on the right and Giroud up front, or stick with theo up front and put OX on the right?

Giroud starting for arsenal is a backwards step, why change something that's working, Walcott has something extra and can improve, giroud cant. Giroud is actually doing a great job at the moment. The ox now has 5 to 10 games to show us he's good enough, its up to him to take it, he now has his chance, like Walcott. The ox your time is now and wenger has to trust him.

{Ed025's Note - for me steve giroud coming off the bench is his best worth to the team, thats why benzema or similar would have been a great buy last summer..

I'd leave Theo and Olly where they are and like Steve says give the Ox a run, he's an easy lad to read and everything about him says he's lacking confidence big time and the only way he will get it is to play full games and get great support from Arsene team mates and fans, he's a diamond who just needs a bit help of to sparkle again.

As for buying a striker Ed maybe I'm wrong but Arsene has said recently Theo has proved him right not to buy in the summer so I'm not sure he is or ever was truly in the market, Arsene is a loyal manager who finds it difficult to just disgard players who've been with him a while (Arteta Flamini Rosicky even Diarby) i think playing Ospina in the champions league was also Arsene's way of keeping him involved and feeling a part of things as he felt bad about signing Cech ahead of him.

We obviously need more strength in depth to the squad but I'm not sure Arsene needs the heartache, like I say maybe I'm miss judging the situation and the man of course.

Leave it as it is, bring Giroud off the bench, he will still score 20

Put Ox out on the right.

The new Steve will be gone once the amnesia wears off. There must be a reason for the change!

{Ed025's Note - im thinking 5 and the bonus 14,.. :)

But hasn't giroud proved his worth to get picked from his last 2 performances? He has more goals than theo, right this season. Just a banter any how i would still go with what steve said, this is ox's chance to get a run of few games.

Misty giroud would argue and for him he would have case. But for the team he at the moment has to do it for the team. He will get his chance in the future i'm sure but it goes gor everyone, you have to earn the right. Plus he's scoring still.

Olly gives us great options a and is very if not more effective coming off the bench, Theo is still learning his trade needs the games plus his strengths and threat are currently more of a problem for the opposition and bring out the best in others than Ollys at the moment.
If Ox wasnt available against Everton for some reason I'd play Debuchy and push Belerin wide right rather than move Theo right now.

If debucy wasn't struggling that would have been a great call. Next year maybe when jenkos back.

But is Debuchy struggling in weakened side or struggling full stop? I'm not sure which really and until Jenks comes home there's always Chambers at a push, he's not as bad at fullback as people think if he's got cover in front of him, Chambers RB with Belerin RM? Worth a cheeky punt?

First things first, Giroud shouldn't be our first choice ST in ny opinion but.
Interesting stat
Giroud has more goals this season than Kane, Rooney, Costa and Benteke.
So you wonder, what's all the fuss about? Lol.
