As Olivier Giroud trudged off the pitch on Wednesday night against Monaco, the boos were audible. The frustration was evident. The levels of anger were at boiling point.
By the Frenchman’s standards, he had endured a miserable evening’s work. Countless chances had been squandered against Monaco, opportunities he would usually gobble up.
I am never one to criticise fans for voicing their opinions. They are always entitled to do so. They can boo, shout, cry and scream. At the end of the day they have paid to be there, they are the loyal ones. Players will come and go, managers will change and so will owners too – but the fans will always be there.
