Which midfields in the prem are better than Arsenal's? Goals and assists against average prem teams, average CL teams and lower league sides aren't very impressive. Especially considering his glaring misses. He's the back up next season.
Most of the glaring misses were in August and September. He has been much better recently.
Can you think of a glaring miss outside of the Chelsea match since September?
I am not saying Giroud is a world class player, but I am also not going to call him unacceptable when this team has been unstable all season and dont create much.
And just because Arsenal have a midfield only behind Chelsea and City, doesnt mean its a great or even that good of a midfield. Its more of a statement of how the premiership standards have fallen.
