Having arrived in North London from Montpellier in the off-season, Giroud struggled to display the prowess in front of goal which made him last season's Ligue 1 top scorer.
The France international has since come into his own for the Gunners, finding the back of the net more regularly in the English top flight as well as in Europe.
A recent back problem has sidelined the 26-year-old, but he looks sets to return to Arsene Wenger's side for their trip to Reading on Monday night.
"It has been an interesting few months, but now I want to do more - I am an Arsenal player and rightly expectations are high," Giroud said in an interview with the official Arsenal matchday programme.
"I am trying to do what the boss asks of me, to put pressure on defenders and to improve on protecting and holding the ball.
"We put a lot of good crosses in, so it is important that I get on the end of them and score.
"I am feeling better and better in this team all the time - I know my team-mates now and things are more automated on the pitch, which makes things easier for me."
