André Schürrle

He often played as second striker during his time at Leverkusen, it would be interesting to see if he can make that transition to CF.

However this is what preseason was for, if the club had any intentions to try him out in that position then it already would've been done.

He did play as a striker at times for levekusen, so im sure that position wont be so unfamiliar to him as we think

Looks like some of us were right in our predictions of him being played as Striker- let's see how he does today

Good chance for him, hopefully he can nab a goal or two and prove these doubters wrong.

Was ok, really.

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

10/10 for effort tonight, didn't get much service. His runs off the ball were class though.

Need to see him play as a striker in another game.

A lot better than Torres!

I don't think Andre wasn't great upfront much better when he moved wide

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I didn't think he played badly. Great work-rate, but his movement is not that of a lone striker. I still much prefer him on the wing and thought he did better when he was moved there after Torres came on.

Well he plays far more confidently than torres I think he is a really good buy

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Was unlucky with that chance he hit the bar with, obviously he was offside but it was a good hit and if he had gone a fraction later he would have timed his run perfectly. Some pros and cons with him upfront. Obviously hes very fast and good on the counter, not as strong and can't hold the ball up that well.

I thought that shot was going in

Pretty much what I felt as well. And that he was coming up against centre-backs like Ferdinand and Vidic. A conventional CF would have done better under those circumstances. Still, playing him upfront is always a decent option for the manager...especially with Willian coming in.
