MN: Origi and Giroud give Pioli a selection headache ahead of Torino trip

AC Milan’s games against Monza in the league and Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League yielded the same result in each game: four goals and three points.

MilanNews writes how Pioli now has more certainty regarding his attacking department and in particular the role of centre-forward off the back of two comfortable wins. In Origi’s first start for Milan he got his first goal and also registered an assist in what was an excellent performance, while Giroud scored a penalty in Croatia to end a mini goal drought and found himself involved on a number of occasions.

It will be a very difficult choice for Pioli in view of Sunday’s game against Torino therefore, as he will have to send only one of the two strikers onto the field from the first minute.

The Belgian could be the favourites after the 80 minutes that Giroud played in the Champions League, but the battle between the two players remains open.

  1. Giroud is not a 90min type of player. He is a good sub though.

    He wastes more %50 of attacking opportunities by his stupid one touch flick passes. Seriously what is the deal with that?!!

    1. I’ve been complaining about those ridiculous flicks. He just waste good counter opportunities with those flicks. Trying to be skillful. French zlatan wannabe.

      Will be really happy if we can sign that Broja from Chelsea.

      He’s strong, good on the ball and has an eye for goal too.

  2. I wonder why Origi can not be starting ahead of Giroud use both in my opinion Origi should be starting ahead of Giroud , Giroud for super sub

  3. Oh wow what a headache!! For teams you want an active and mobile striker play Origi. For teams you want a more clinical point man play Giroud. Wow what a conundrum!!…..

  4. If you want a player that’s better for the team as a whole ,then it’s no contest as Oliver is the best no doubt about that ,he is also technically the much better player out of the two ,it’s not always about pace as the first few yards are in oliviers head ,he knows exactly where to be at the right moment ,and he creates space for himself and others ..He has great feet for a big man ,and as long as you have pace around him and the likes of rafeol leao ,then Olivier will deliver .We won the scuddeto last season ,and yes lots of that were down to the bargain signing of Olivier Giroud..I said that when we signed him we would win the scuddeto,which we did .If we want to win it again ,which we certainly can that we will need the services of that man OLIVIER GIROUD.
