As you can see quite clearly, Tammy Abraham has done unbelievably well this season winning 8 of 14 categories, while not finishing solo last in a single one. He is such a complete player who will only keep improving in the future.
As for Timo, he's got some work to do on his finishing. Missing twice as many big chances as you have goals scored while having a 14% conversion rate is just not close to good enough and that has nothing to do with him playing as a winger or not.
And as good as Giroud is in front of goal, it's easy to see why the team doesn't always look as good with him in it as it has done with Tammy this season. Not only is Tammy more clinical in front of goal but Oli also attempts 0.2 fewer shots p/g, makes 0.2 fewer key passes..
has completed 0(zero) dribbles all season, wins 1 ground duel less(at 20% less) p/g, wins 1 aerial duel less(at 21% less) and also wins 0.5 less fouls p/g.

The myth that Giroud "makes the team tick" couldn't be further from the truth this season.
The only thing Giroud has really offered us has been goals. His "all-round game" has been almost non-existent. There is only 1 striker that has given us both goals and playmaking this season and his name is Tammy Abraham.

That man really should get more respect on here.
