André Schürrle

[Jase 43,479]

The movement for the goal was just sublime. Just too good for Di Michelles.

While he deserves credit for the goal, think you are over-praising him there. Any attacking player with a goalscoring instincts like Schurrle will know how to get into those advanced positions and considering it's only Demichelis, it wasn't all that hard for him to move away from the defender.

Showed his striker instincts by getting into a great position. They always say the Germans are very good at tucking in for crosses to get into goal scoring positions and he did very well, obviously he wasn't as good on the ball but you cannot fault someone who will work their arse off when hes out of possession.

Now we only need Lars Bender to complete our team. Germans are awesome.

It wasn't about getting in the position, but how he got there. Watch the goal again from the angle above and see his run to fool both Nastasic and Demichelis. Excuse me for being over-excited, but I haven't seen a striker of ours make a run like that in ages!

No wonder...

[The Happy One 18]

hard to believe he isn't praised enough. it isn't really only about the goal - which us as fans should celebrate more!

he's been amazing for us this season, played out of his mind in many matches and now it paid off with a goal.

I get it that it wasn't a great match in terms of attack, but he had a great first half closing the door to all Shitty attempts on his side.

just sad people aren't celebrating that one of the hardest workers in the team finally scored...

I'm celebrating for you all tho

:woo: :woo: :woo: :woo:

The problem is not all attackers have goal scoring instincts which i think you are severely underestimating. Out of our midfielders, only mata and lampard have this goal scoring instinct like schurrle to get into the box and tap in goals.

Like I said, "any attacking players WITH goalscoring instincts"..

[bushman 2,043]

Let me put in my bombastic view of Schurrle.

To me, he was the best acquisition of the summer for Chelsea as seen so far.

I even like his determination to succeed at all cost & his delight when Chelsea wins.

Attacking midfielders with goal scoring instincts are not easy to find though

Yes, Germans are awesome!

I had a man crush on Ballack.

I miss my Ballack.

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Reminds me of Duff so bloody much. Phenomenal work rate and has a presence of becoming a big game player

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I hope Mou can transform him from LW into RW. Schurrle does realy good in defensive actions at RW already, but is little lost in attacks.

Yeah but the point still stands..

Saw the goal again a couple of times and I'm not sure if Schurrle really fooled Nastasic and Demichelis like you mentioned there. Yes, while Schurrle did come towards the ball when Torres was out wide on the right and then moving back off, both the defenders looked like they were just ball watching the whole time and didn't even realize Schurrle was there.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Okay i thought you were underestimating his ability to get into dangerous positions, even hazard rarely does that. Few players have that, thats why lampard scored so many goals its an underated ability. In fact every team in the premier league dont have more than 2 midfielders with this ability.

No no no. Not in any way downplaying Schurrle's ability to get into goalscoring positions. His off the ball movement is good but having watched the replays, I don't even think Demichelis and Nastasic knew where Schurrle was. Both were just ball watching. Didn't fool them, just good movement shown by Schurrle. Praise yes but not so OTT like Choulo alluded to. And don't forget that Schurrle has played as a ST before.

Supposed you can consider the likes of Schurrle, Mata, Lampard etc being 'direct' minded players in the sense that they can get on the ball and work with it as well as creating chances for others but also get into goalscoring positions. Hazard is more of a player that likes to get on the ball, create for others and score directly with the ball on his feet.
