good enough squad to win the Premier League and has
rejected suggestions that they need to strengthen in three
areas in January.
Arsene Wenger's side currently top the table by two points
from Leicester City but Alan Shearer has claimed they are
three players short of having a squad capable of capturing
the title.
The Match of the Day pundit feels Arsenal need a holding
midfielder, a centre-half and a striker but Giroud says he
cannot see where his team are lacking.
"Tell me where! Just tell me where! I will explain the
opposite judgement," he is quoted as saying by the Daily
Mirror.
"We have very good players as well on the bench, young
players waiting to come in. They are very talented. I am not
worried about it.
"Danny Welbeck will come back in a month and a half. Theo
Walcott can play up front, Joel is Campbell doing well with
his national team up front. If I am less good or get injured,
we still have a solution."
Giroud won the Ligue 1 title with Montpellier in 2012 before
moving to Arsenal and says he can use his experience to
help the Gunners' title charge.
"To be champions in a season – and I know that because I
was a champion with Montpellier – you need talent, of
course, but you need a bit of luck and sometimes you
cannot play a fantastic game," he added.
"We have experienced players like [Mathieu] Flamini, Per
[Mertesacker], Petr [Cech] and even Lolo [Laurent
Koscielny]. We have a good relationship between young
players and experienced players. The older players need to
bring confidence to the youngest and lead them.
"That is what I try to do sometimes. I always encourage
them and show them, maybe, in a nice way, the best
solution.
"All together, we are going to do it. We have a very good
squad. We can play every competition and we will focus 100
per cent."
