André Schürrle

[The_Flash 1,144]

He didnt do much of anything last night, dissapointing performance

[_007M_ 26]

the german boy i think he needs more minutes to play in rotation with willian !

both of them did great efforts in the field

wish the mou give him more chances

We tried him as striker vs ManU and it did not go too well. I think he has all the tools to be a fairly prolific striker, cos he works hard, is direct, is not afraid to shoot. This player comes in so refreshingly old fashioned between all those wanna-be playmakers. Still Mou played him as no 10 in the first half??? He is best on the left wing where he can use his pace and his shooting. he would need time to adapt to lead the line, even though he has the tools. Maybe worth a shot in the next to games vs relatively easy opponents, but should not be a permament solution. Let Ba have a few games, IMO he has done decent so far.

I wouldn't take anything from that game. We were extremely negative and played like we were a relegation team away at a top club so of course the striker wasn't going to have much to work with.

I love this guy. Amongst a fleet of ponderous flicks and 4th and 5th touches, this guy just gets it down and heads towards the goal. He just makes the game so simple - the ball needs to go in the goal, so I will take it there. Puts in a shift, has a shot on him, has a knack for popping up in the right place at the right time and that quiff :eyebrows:

Hazard needs to stay on the left but I think we need to work out a way to use this guy almost as a second striker driving into the box especially in games like yesterday's. If Hazard is our new Robben then this guy can be our new Duff.

Can i dream that Schurrle replacing Nando??? at least he can try more shoot and attempt to us...

Being comfortable on both wings does not mean you're two footed.

No but those two strikes at Stoke do ........................................

Heck, let's try it.

Although I would say that our strikers have started scoring again, at least.

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

I mentioned Willian but Andre also had a good game, that's 2 out of 14 then...

[Barbara 15,149]

I think he was decent today - which is the corresponding to awesome given how the players turned up in Stadium of Light.

If there's one play that KILLED me was during the first half when he advanced in the right flank and reached the box, and cross AND THERE WASN'T ANYONE IN THE BOX because Eto'o was outside the box and Cole got the cross (in the other side of the box) and cross to the middle of the box where there was anyone.

Do you guys remember when he scored his first goal for us? It was a similar play, Torres reached the end of the pitch and crossed and Schurrle moved to receive the ball and score (while Torres was advancing). That's what I expect from our striker and even Willian and de Bruyne (although if memory serves, de Bruyne was inside the box in this specific play).

I'd test him in the striker position. It's not like he can do any worse than our strikers have been doing anyway. Give him a couple of matches there and see what happens. But I don't see José doing it

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

STRIKER until January. Better than that pile of three dry shits that we have.

[The_Flash 1,144]

He really hasn't been doing so well, he started season well then dipped I wish he would get some goals for us like he does for Germany.

i can translate it too: he is basically saying, that he has to get used to the roughness of the PL. some of his opponents could play for a rugby team, he says. that he is putting a lot of extra shift to get some muscles on to be able to defend better and to play better against these sort of players. in Germany the referees would give a free-kick for some of the duels but in the EPL, they let it go through. also he says that Mou is great and he likes him and that he controls the private life of his players, which is OK for Andre.
