André Schürrle

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I think we all agree that he is a quality player, but still a little bit inconsistent. At one match he will play really well and scoring easily, next match play bad, next match good again, next match bad again, and so on. He will be getting better and more mature along with the time.

[Jase 43,479]

He was bad against Bolton, against Sporting and now against Arsenal... We shouldn't criticize!

No, he wasn't. It only looked that because he missed chances in those chances. Had he scored a few in there, no one would have said anything or thought his performances were really bad. People that said Willian should have started in place of him seems to have forgotten that only 2 weeks ago, he had a nightmare at City.

Also had a MoTM performance against Aston Villa...

He's not a bad player, he just has average technical qualities(poor: dribbling, passing and vision) which will always get exposed here and there. His style of being on the end of chances is a good thing, he just needs to start finishing them off.

everybody forgot his important goals last season , he 's a very good player . yes he has bad moments but everybody has bad moments and Willian is not incredible, he's so average

[LAM09 6,811]

He needs to be dropped for a few games. Let someone else play on the right!

[DazLaughlan 55]

Schurrle is a frustrating one, he has real ability on the ball and makes some really clever runs but he doesn't show it consistently enough IMO. I think against Arsenal he looked worse than he actually was because the amount of flicks that just didn't come off, but he was unlucky with a lot of them.

[papito 8]

after Hazard , he's the best winger

[BlueLion. 21,491]

No two ways about it and no bias involved, Schurrle was by far the worst player on the pitch and has been dreadful recently. He literally had a negative output every time he touched the ball. He makes everybody look worse and destroyed so many attacking opportunities. His best role right now is that of a super sub. Suits his qualities perfectly.

I have been amongst those saying that a super-sub role would be perfect for him. He is just in a bit of a slump at the minute, but the dangerous thing about Schurrle is he can just turn it on at any moment. He'll come good. Remember he is still young, we have to be patient.

Indeed - I remember the days when people understood 'form'

You can't be in-form every game!

The culture now of 3 average games = sell him and buy Reus is a little sad...

Give the guy a break. Oscar had some poor form, so did Eden, so had every player...

[TheChelseaDane 48]

Schürrle still has a big star in my book. Great player, who shows he wants this project, and always gives himself 100%. He's had a few bad games now, and maybe should be given some time on the bench. We have great players on the bench too. That being said I see Andre as an indispensable part of the team, and very, very important.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Come to think of it, I think he is playing better as a left winger. If I could remember, Hazard and him not often changing position. I think it is not a bad idea they could sometimes changing position during the match.

[Sepehr SS 36]

Sell Schurrle, Buy Reus

[DanishBlue 426]

Just play Willian in the next couple of games and we should be fine. Willian isn't a worldbeater but he is better than Schurrle atm.

[Barbara 15,149]

People mention Hazard, Oscar and Salah's ages all the time and they seem to forget André is only two months older than Eden and only around one year older than Oscar. Why the other two have people defending they need time to develop and everyone come here and crucify André?

He's only 23 and he's already a WC champion and he wasn't there only to collect a medal. That trophy has his name written with his sweat and hard working. He earned being a WC (although Germany is a great, great team). He's a hard worker, in and off the pitch. He has the best attitude about our club in our squad apart from the English players. He's a very positive player. He's been going through a bad finishing form and maybe a tad too selfish, but he's still worked his arse off every match. Sometimes the ball just doesn't go in. Nobody seems to give him credit for getting in those position in the first place. He can only miss a chance, if he's there to collect the chance. His positioning and runs - which have always been his forte - are still as good as always. His finishing has always had ups and downs here, but last year it wasn't much noticeable because we didn't have a certain Cesc Fàbregas leaving people in front of the goalie right and left. Last season Hazard and Oscar took turns creating things, and for a while at the end of the season, none of them did much of creating work. So he had less chances, not because he wasn't there, but because he didn't get service. how many times did we comment on a play where he was in a great position, outstretched arms and nobody passed to him?

He's a very cold player, he doesn't fear the responsibility, pressure or the goalie, but his finishing isn't the end product yet, because the guy is only 23!!!! He needs support. He took his Twitter account to ask us to be patient with him, that the goals would come, can we just do something totally new as supporters and actually support a player that has been giving us his best ever since he's here? Diego Costa missed a sitter ineach of the last two matches he's played for us and 'only' scored once between those two matches. Should we start bad mouthing him too? I know Schurrle missed more, but he's younger, less experienced and while Costa is on his peak years already, André is only getting there. So let's try these new things called support and patience?

Spot on. Most of Schurrle's best games for Chelsea are where Hazard has played more centrally and he has been able to play on the left. His natural game is to come inside.

Well, Mikel isn't playing much, Ramires is out injured, so some fellas need a scapegoat, a player to constantly moan and exaggerate about...

that's normally Oscar, but after two goals and working his arse off against Arsenal his scapegoat status was for there for the taking.

Schurrle deserves some criticism, but also our support. He's a great utility player, a very smart guy. He's not nearly as talented as Willian, let alone Hazard, but it won't surprise me at all if he ends up with more goals than both at the end of the season. When you're smart about your positioning and has a fairly decent finishing, the numbers speak for themselves. We actually have a very balanced squad with players offering different options, which is every manager's dream come true. Some matches are much more suitable for André than the others, and having him only makes our arsenal (lol) all more threatening and dangerous.
