Analysis: Arsenal’s Six Striker Options – Who Should Lead The Line Now Olivier Giroud Has Returned?

Posted by

Lukas Podolski

Unquestionably the best finisher in the Arsenal squad, but he does not seem to flourish when deployed as the lone striker.

His lack of intelligent movement seems to be the main problem, with the German often remaining static and waiting for his teammates to find him.

When he is able to slip into pockets of space he is absolutely deadly, but when he’s on the pitch it can often feel like the Gunners are playing with ten men.

If Arsene Wenger ever decides to play two strikers then Podolski could really shine, but in the current system it is not surprising that the World Cup winner has seen barely any action this season.
