Interestingly, 4 of their top 7 are still playing.The incarnation of the “underrated player” concept.

Yet the reason he gets more recognition now is because the team he plays for is winning. Case and point. I never said he is a better or worse player now. You had no clue what point I was making, then when I told you that you continue.
I hadn't realized Benzema was almost on 40. It's not entirely impossible that Henry goes from 1st to 5th within a couple of years.The incarnation of the “underrated player” concept.

No they don’t. Especially when I said early on Ive not said hes better now or worse. And especially when I said you missed the point.

The stupidity of this is actually worrying.
You have to be kidding.
Arsenal's tactic under Wenger never played to Giroud's strength.
So what ? No single player does what you claimed. They just could have chosen to move him on earlier
Agreed. Giroud's not a 'great' or anything, but he's always been better than he often gets given credit for. Use him as that target man with the right attackers behind him and he'll help the entire attack gel. Would've been very well suited to how Mourinho wanted us to play, considering that's exactly how he tried to play with Lukaku despite that never being his game.
I'm a massive Camavinga fan and I felt like Deschamps was missing a trick by starting Griezmann ahead of him but credit where credit's due. He's probably been France's second best player - his intelligence and awareness are vital to this team.
Camavinga has talent and time for him. I shudder to think what the team would be without this Griezmann
With Pogba out, playing Gruezmann in that position was a very correct decision. Although to be fair, he was the best player for France in WC2018 and Euros 2016, so playing Griezmann was always the right choice.
Well this time a goal in a big game

He stays in the box. It’s simple and it works. You don’t see him dropping 25 yards back and picking the ball off Griezmann toes
