Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson says that Lukas Podolski has been disappointing at Euro 2012.

Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson has said that he hasn't been impressed by Lukas Podolski at Euro 2012.

The Gunners newcomer has scored once in his three appearances at the tournament, all of which came in the Germans' group matches.

Podolski was rested for Germany's 4-2 win over Greece in the quarter-finals, and Robson admits that the ex-Cologne striker hasn't lived up to his expectation.

"I've been a little bit disappointed with Lukas Podolski in this tournament," Robson told talkSPORT.

"He's not a player that when he's out wide left he's going to go past people and get crosses in but he does come in at the far post well.

"He does the basic things quite well. He'll pass it into the front players. He'll get crosses in and he'll get in at the far post and score goals, so he's a decent signing for Arsenal."

Podolski's Germany face Italy in the semi-finals of the European Championships tonight.
