zolayes 14,489 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Is he though? I understand where you're coming from, but right now he's up against two of the best defenders in the league (Koscielny and Gibbs) and they won't allow him time and space on the ball, he'd be ineffective. I'm fairly sure Koscielny and Gibbs would be able to track his runsHave you actually watched Arsenal this year ,, ????? Sorry you said Gibbs so you were joking Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I came across this tumblr account http://ensinaromario.tumblr.com/For fans who liked Romário the name of the account is 'Teach (them), Romário'Every time someone misses an easy goal they use one video of Romário old goals to teach them how to score properly.Too bad Romário is from the 90's and the videos quality isn't great, but you can have an idea.Chelsea had three players (not surprisingly) being 'taught' by Romário against Sporting: Schurrle, Salah and Costa.It's funny and also a homage to one of the very best forwards I've ever watched playing. I forget goals within 2 weeks - if that long, but the oldest goal I have a vivid memory of is Romário's in the mid-90's. I'll never forget that goal.

Myself 793 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Have you actually watched Arsenal this year ,, ????? Sorry you said Gibbs so you werejokingHuh? The only LB's (that currently play for an English club) I'd have over Gibbs is Filipe Luis, Azpilicueta and Kolarov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think he shouldn't start, Willian should in his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara 15,149 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's not true. The vast majority of the shots were way off target. The only two I remember that were on target was the FK and the shot that the keeper almost spilled into his own net. Not nearly good enough from about 15 shots.That's not what I have in mind from what I remember. But I'll hold my hands up if you can provide a detailed stats of his shooting against Bolton; on/off target, saves and blocks made against him.http://www.espnfc.com/gamecast/406149/gamecast.htmlI found the stats, he's had 12 shots by ESPN: 3 on target, 3 blocked and 6 off target. I agree he was wasteful, but I tend to agree more with Jason's take of it, than Choulo's. It was bad, but not that bad...

Gibbs now has someone that helps defend (Sanchez) and Schurrle isn't exactly high on confidence right now.The circumstances haven't changed. Gibbs is still an average defender who plays in a team where full backs play very high with little protection in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueaddict 6 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If only Hazard had half his shooting instincts and off the ball movements but lol hazard is just the polar opposite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Seems like he has relapsed into the player he was from last season. Not that i expected him to be better anyway. Mufassir08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike 373 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 TBH, Chelsea kind of need a player like Schurrle sometimes....Many wish Hazard was like that, but I think his mentality is completely different than Schurrle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I bet if he scores against Arsenal, he'll be the hero again.Yes, he made mistakes at times, was wasteful and selfish, but he scored two important goals for us too, which is more goals than any of our other AMs scored in the league. bababoom and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 It funny how quick opinions change on here, during the WC and pre season he was the man of the moment, now because he had a few bad games he's gone back to not being good enough...

Jype 6,398 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 At least he's getting involved and works hard, IMO he's been really good but it's just the finishing that hasn't been up to his usual standards in the last couple of games. Only a matter of time when he starts finding the net more often again and then he'll be really influential. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
