Olivier Giroud led Chelsea to the FA Cup Quarter finals almost single-handedly, as he was involved in three of the Blues' four goals against Hull City, scoring one and handing out two assists.
Giroud seemed solid on the pitch, working with his team-mates to create goalscoring chances. Willian took advantage of his ball-handling skills, as he scored two goals due to his passes.

Even if he's had a chance to play just a handful of games for the team, fans believe he should lead Chelsea's attack when they face Barcelona next week. Have a look at their comments below.
Giroud 2 starts. 3 assists + 1 goal = 18 million. Feel in TODAYS market he’s paid back his transfer fee #CFC

In case of any minor confusion: those aren't boos for Giroud - people are calling his name.

One thing I’m absolutely sure of... Giroud has to start vs Barcelona

I think Giroud will start at Barcelona. Azpilicueta-Christensen-Rudiger defence.

I know it’s only Hull but it’s a good confidence boost for Barcelona and I believe these Chelsea players are HUNGRY to prove a point, I just gotta add finally - Olivier Giroud is a fantastic striker that Conte should consider on Tuesday...
Dear @Arsenal thank you for Giroud. pic.twitter.com/hqvJEXhKx7
