Olivier Giroud can look devilishly handsome. Olivier Giroud can be wonderfully charming. Olivier Giroud can act surprisingly well.

One thing Olivier Giroud cannot do right now is score goals.

After another largely ineffective display against Norwich, the Arsenal centre-forward has now gone 801 Premier League minutes without finding the back of the net. His last goal was all the way back in January, against Liverpool.

That means he has now gone 15 Premier League appearances without scoring. FIFTEEN! Most incredibly of all, only one striker in the ENTIRE division have gone on longer barren runs this season.

Longest goal droughts, Premier League strikers, 2015/16 17 1 Siem De Jong (Newcastle) 15 =2 Bafatembi Gomis (Swansea) 14 =2 OLIVIER GIROUD (ARSENAL) Premier League only

Thank God for Newcastle's Siem de Jong, eh?

But here's the thing. Every other striker around him on this list (as well as De Jong and Gomis, Cameron Jerome and Saido Berhaino are just behind him on 14) plays for a team in the bottom half of the Premier League; teams that often struggle to create chances.

Oliver Giroud plays for a team (supposedly) trying to win the title - and he plays in front of THIS guy:

With Mesut Ozil virtually spoon-feeding you chances, how does a striker go FIFTEEN games without a goal?

Any thoughts, Mr Wenger…?
