André Schürrle

[Rapkun 668]

I think Andre could have helped us more than Willian on wednesday. His movement, crosses, and most especially finishing was missed.

He's more likely not going to start at the Etihad, so that would've made sense.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

He is injured?

Don't think it is new, must be a treatment from his last injury.

Schurrle on Friday Night Live today at 6.30pm UK time along with Cudicini and Trevor Nelson.

He's had that bandage on the same foot for some while. Can't remember which game, but I remember he having that bandage after coming off in one of our matches.

LOL André blow drying his hair EVERYDAY. LOL

Today was the perfect game to understand why Schurle is not an undisputed starting XI in Mourinho's eyes.

No doubt he really knows how to score goals, but as soon as he arrive in the game, our right side was wiiiiiiide open. City explored that side, and created all their chances from the right side (the goal came from the right side).

To be honest, its weird that we played such defensive game after he came, when he is more suited to a more attacking game.

Because, Ivanovic wasn't helping him defend

Schurrle and Ramires are perfect super subs in this team imo. They are very much change of peace players and better suited coming off the bench. Their relentless running off the ball really catches other teams off guard, when we have so many players that like to play on the ball.

To be honest I think Ramires was brilliant from the start today. Made a lot of great runs behind their back line which was not spotted, very disciplined in tracking his men, and a great clearance which surely saved us from a goal.

Very poor defensively. Great goal though.

[Jase 43,479]

Not really liking the fact that Mourinho seem to have singled out Schurrle for the goal we conceded when Ivanovic was caught ball watching as well and not tracking Lampard.

This gif sums up Schürrle's game and current standing in the pick order for the first XI. He really needs to step up defensively because at this moment the right spot is up for grabs, a defensive liability is the 1 thing Mourinho hates the most though.

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Gotta say I feel sorry for him. The goal really was his fault, but I don't like when the manager blames the player in public.

In our team weirdly the onus is always on the wingers to defend. I just hope the defenders eventually start doing their job.

Yeah. I understand that all players should contribute defensively and defending is a teamwork, but if our defenders rely on the midfield all the time, then it suggests something is wrong with our defenders. Ivanovic has been very undisciplined this season, but he doesn't get publicly blamed.

He was responsible for the Schalke goal as well. Has been our worst player this season.

Schurrle made Milner look like David Silva.
