As we will be playing against our old friend, Marouanne Chamakh on Saturday I thought it would be interesting to do a statistical comparison between him and Olivier Giroud and you may be suprised to learn that Marouanne Chamakh has scored with an incredible 100% of his shots this season. Unfortunately for Marouanne and Palace, he has only taken one shot in his first 8 games...
On a serious note though, Olivier Giroud has been outstanding. This time last year he had just one goal and one assist but he has grown into an extremely important player for us. This summer we were of course chasing Suarez and Higuain but Giroud appeared unphased and has proven himself more than capable of leading the line for the club. His link up play has been terrific, never more so than for his part in Jack Wilshere's extaordinary goal against Norwich. He has forged a terrific understanding with him team mates and could be instrumental in our push for silverwear.
