André Schürrle

[Daniel1980 1,425]

And immediately afterwards he was responsible for the City goal ((Ivanovic too). Besides, the goal was created against 10 men... People are saying that he creates much more than Oscar and Willian, this is just is not true (in last season stats it was 1.Hazard 2.Willian 3. Oscar in chances created), the thing is he finds himself more often than not in the positions to finish those chances other players create (his biggest talent). I dunno now if he's really necessary for the system we play, now that we have a striker that is also making those runs. Alot of the times now they just run in each others way. The same was true against Sporting where André intercepted a ball that was pointed towards a player in a better position (Hazard to Oscar i think it was).

Tbh, I remember this happening against Leicester too, but it's a fixable problem. Jose can and should sort it out. It's just the matter of positioning and discipline.

He's beginning to get very selfish that's the main problem I have with him,he'll only improve and become a better player as long as he starts putting the team before himself

To say he's getting very selfish is an exaggeration and all because he took like 10-15 shots by himself against Bolton. Had he scored a few there and/or even against Sporting Lisbon, nobody would be saying that at all.

Exactly, against Bolton he had more responsibilities to be decisive in the game. No Hazard, Costa, Willian and Cesc meant he had to lead the attack. Oscar felt the same, they were both the only regular attackers in that line up.

Against Sporting he had a great performance but was a bit unlucky. Costa, Oscar and Salah also missed some big chances. Schurrle worked really hard and defended really well.

Schurrle had some many good opportunites he messed up, but I think he should be starting moving forward instead of Willian.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

His poor touch, poor technique and poor decision making is costing him. Has to improve.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Diabolically bad. He needs a spell on the bench to regain his confidence. Right now he's not good enough to be anywhere near the starting XI.

[lito 180]

he had 62% pass accuracy against arsenal !

[Special Juan 27,429]

Looks a broken man right now.

Chelsea doesn't fit schurrle's play style.

He would be better at one of the German teams

Schurrle missed a lot of chances though and some players don't get as many chances such as salah and willian

[lucio 5,418]

i see no benefit in playing him over willian. he contributes more goals himself, but willian will improve the team overall.

Not saying he was not poor but pretty much every attacking player had a below standard passing percentage in this match. For example, Fabregas had 77% and Hazard 81% IIRC, not too bad but below their standard quality for sure.

We don't have one playing style though. He's definitely in a poor run of form however. I was surprised to see him start ahead of Willian and thought he should have come off a lot sooner than he did.

Actually I think he just getting more playing time. He is playing the same football he did last season, 3 or 4 games aside. WC goals made people believe he is better than he actually is.

You make a fair point to be honest. I'm not really a fan of Schurrle's overall ability but when on-form he can still be a useful player.

Perhaps the real issue is not having a clear first-choice player on that side (like a Hazard) good enough to be more than just a squad player.

[Jase 43,479]

I don't think Schurrle was as bad as people have made him out to be against Arsenal. Yes, he was somewhat unproductive going forward in the game but who else really did anyway? Completely worked his socks off both offensively and defensively and played like someone who wanted to make things happen.

It was more his decision making, he missed some players making runs and other things like that. He was poor, no way around it.
