Wenger: Giroud Has The Mental Strength

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hailed the mental strength of France striker Olivier Giroud after the gunners recent 2-1 win over QPR on Wednesday night.

Giroud came in for criticism after the gunners embarrassing 3-1 defeat at home to Monaco in the champions league where the striker missed a lot of chances costing the gunners.

Since then the striker has opened the scoring against Everton and on Wednesday night against QPR and his manager has heaped praise on his mental resilience.

"Olivier has that mental strength.He's strong mentally too".

"He can take criticism and responf and he's shown that".

"I feel that the criticism was a bit harsh on him because he missed some chances against Monaco,but that can happen".

"We wew all down after the Monaco game but we responded well against Everton and the confidence we got against Everton paid off tonight".

Arsenal's next premier game is against Westham at the Emirates and Giroud will be looking to add to his tally of 10 premier league goals
