André Schürrle

If he could finish he'd be better than Aguero ffs.

Our team just got 'on another level' when we got Cesc and Costa, now people so early want the next level, like you had enough with this boring level of football that we're just starting to play. Schurrle was greedy yesterday but this feels greedy too.

On a more serious note, he was a disaster yesterday, he has those days, but saying he isn't Chelsea starter matirel? I don't know, think he contributes a lot for our game as we saw this season, with the cuts he's making and directness. Certainly no Rues but I think him and Willian are good enough for this spot, and we could win everything with them in the team even if they aren't world class wingers.

I know I'm greedy, but it's not bad to want us to improve as much as possible.

If we could combine schurlles positioning with willian's technique/passing we'll have the right player on our right wing.

Hopefully willian gets more desire to attack the box, and get in dangerous positions because I don't see schurlle improving technique wise.

One of THE most infuriating performances I have seen from a Chelsea player in recent years. Decision making - Terrible. Dribbling - Terrible. Passing - Terrible. Finishing - Terrible.

After how well he did the 2nd half of last season and how well he performed at the World Cup, I seriously thought this guy was going to have a monster of a season. 10-15 goals. Make that right wing slot his own. His performance against Burnley was fantastic but since then he just can't seem to do it. Is it the selfishness? I really don't know. I can't put my finger on it. He has every attribute to be world class IMO, but something is not clicking for him right now.

Mourinho should play him in the pivot.

Poor performance but people already want him gone? Just plain LOL. he will be fine, more than fine. Just needs to take it a little easy. Seems to eager sometimes.

Frustrating performance probably bred from not having a regular spot and the 'pressure to perform' mentality.

We won the game, positives and negatives from it, Andre was a negative and lets see how he plays next time.

No one has said they want him gone. Just benched to think about his pay.

I thought his performance was okay

No seriously, yes his finishing was terrible, but that applies to everyone yesterday. In midfield he pressed amazingly well and was probably the main reason why we dominated the first half so much. He won the ball back so many times near the halfway line.

I wish hazard a little bit of Schurrle in him...

Just a little bit though.

Which bit?

[Daniel1980 1,425]

His finishing has been woeful lately, but he wasn't the only one guilty of that yesterday. I thought he pressed and defended very well.

The problem is, he's become greedy and tries too hard to score and stand out. He's not a team player in the attacking third. It's not necessarily a bad thing -- if his finishing were better, we would have been praising him instead of criticizing him. That said, Andre should be less selfish and work on his finishing. If Matic hadn't scored from a set piece, those wasted clear-cut chances would have cost us.

I'd start him vs Arsenal. It will be relatively easy to score (although not as easy as it was yesterday!) and he may calm down a bit. He is fierce lately but not in a good way.

He could have cost us the Bolton game and the sporting game. He needs a spell on the sideline. Been absolute shit.

This is Arsenal, not Northampton. It won't be easy to score. Don't let one amazing result fool you.

This is Arsenal, but this is Schurrle. He is perfect for this fixture lets be honest. They won't be able to handle his runs, Wenger is stubborn with his tactics, they will leave open space.

Is he though? I understand where you're coming from, but right now he's up against two of the best defenders in the league (Koscielny and Gibbs) and they won't allow him time and space on the ball, he'd be ineffective. I'm fairly sure Koscielny and Gibbs would be able to track his runs

Have you actually watched Arsenal this year ,, ????? Sorry you said Gibbs so you were

joking

I came across this tumblr account http://ensinaromario.tumblr.com/

For fans who liked Romário the name of the account is 'Teach (them), Romário'

Every time someone misses an easy goal they use one video of Romário old goals to teach them how to score properly.

Too bad Romário is from the 90's and the videos quality isn't great, but you can have an idea.

Chelsea had three players (not surprisingly) being 'taught' by Romário against Sporting: Schurrle, Salah and Costa.

It's funny and also a homage to one of the very best forwards I've ever watched playing. I forget goals within 2 weeks - if that long, but the oldest goal I have a vivid memory of is Romário's in the mid-90's. I'll never forget that goal.
