André Schürrle

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Looks like Hazard wants to take a bite of Dre's head.---------^^^

He wants to rip off that stupid haricut.

[Blue Armour 4,288]

Well Schurrle himself admitted in that interview, that him starting on the right was part of the reason for that success against Fulham..Hopefully this will quell talk of him starting as a CF/ST

[The Chels 2,502]

Surprised that nobody's yet to have said anything in this thread after the game. I thought he pressed well and did his defensive duties, but was poor on the ball giving it away too easily. I fear that offensively he is really only good at 1v1s and doesn't offer much otherwise. Very similar to a certain Brazilian midfielder of ours!

Since rambo had a good game, lets ridicule schurrle. Some of the posters are just..

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Schurrle is a lot like Willian. Outstanding defensively, but in an attacking sense he can one game be absolutely magnificent, and the next offer next to nothing. A very frustrating thing to see, but he is a young and in his first season in English football. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt before we write him off.

A player for special missions, not a starter, technically he isn't good enough for a Am in Chelsea imo.

Willian is very different, because even if he isn't contribute in attack, he still offers great passing, link up play, and he'food on the ball.

To be fair his first intention pass for Etoo led to Hazard dribbling Lloris and almost scoring. Eden should have, but he was not in a good day... He lacked creativity and confidence in his ability, so he was too slow. Having the most creative midfielder and best passer in low form is very bad news for the Schurrle type player whose best weapon is off the ball runs. And when Hazard started to play faster and simpler, with beautiful passes behind the defense, Schurrle had already been subbed.

Also he made a great run in first half, but Etoo chose to ignore him and went for himself and failed. He was probably thinking about how much he wanted to do hislittle celebration, may have cost an opening goal for Andre.

In terms of movement off the ball he is the best among our AMs. For me, that, along with his incredible work-rate and defensive abilities, more than makes up for his technical limitations on the ball.

[Toli 977]

I think he did very well in the 2nd half until being subbed off. also pressured verthonghen for that slip. in the 1st half our whole team wasnt good, hazard also and our midfield was lacking control so its obviousluy hard for a winger to get in to the game. He will be very important in the next weeks

[Jusek 2,031]

What a leap!

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Moses is better than him. Has too many weaknesses in his game right now.... Needs to improve a lot.

[Jase 43,479]

Think Schurrle would have been a perfect player to have in the XI from the beginning to exploit that highline of Villa. We weren't doing that enough and only Torres was doing it but even then, he was rubbish..

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

As consistent as an old man's cock. Always up and down with him.

[Sheva. 5,373]

What exactly did he do wrong today? he came on and we were down to 10 men, 2 minutes later.

He hardly ever got a chance to impact the game given how we lost control after the red.

The thing is, can we really expect a player to be perform well consistently if he only plays a game here and there? If we are to truly judge his consistency and performances as a player, we need to do so if or when he starts a number of games consecutively.

I know mate, but it's a bit frustrating.

[didierforever 7,349]

Why is he getting criticism. What dod he do wrong? Iva was playing as a ST and this guy had to covet for him plus start the attack from deep. Some of the reactions after a loss are just HILARIOUS!!!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Just like Chelsea, it just wasn't his day yesterday. First touch let him down more often than now.

As stated above, he would have been perfect starting the game to exploit the high line, but then again Villa surprised us with that line and we could not have known before the match.
