André Schürrle

[Jase 43,479]

Mourinho: 'and I replaced Schurrle with Willian at half-time because Southampton had a low block and Schurrle is more dangerous getting behind people. With such a low block, we needed more a creative guy like Willian than a runner like Schurrle.’

'Creative' and 'Willian' seriously do not belong in the same sentence.

Well, I love Woodynho with all my heart. I've always felt you guys were dreaming too high (still not sure if you aren't because I don't know what are the real chances of him ending up here), and that he was a luxury signing if he came, but I definitely would be looking either a MD to play the Cesc role in the pivot or a RW next season (definitely not in January).

I believe it's about time we replace Cahill (having been said for a while now), but maybe we also need to take care of this other situation at the end of the season as well.

That's what everyone says, but I still have hopes we can get him. I feel RW is more important right now. CB and a Cesc back up can come in the summer. If we get Reus, he's the most complete player who will likely be abailable, not omly is he a goalscoring threat, but also creativr and has great workrate. #OneDay

Unless there's something I am missing, not giving Salah a chance next game would absolutely not make any sense. None of Salah's performances was even near as bad as Schurrle's in his past four appearances.

I read that you're Brazilian, I just started a topic on a Brazilian player in the section of the forum for signings, his name is Fabinho and now plays for Monaco but before juice at Real Madrid Castilla (U21) and debuted with Real Madrid thanks to Jose Mourinho after spending six months training every day with Jose. I think it might be a very interesting player.

I think you maybe know something more about Fabinho because you are Brazilian and I'm sure you can tell us more things about Fabinho.

I don't watch Brazilian football anymore... and I don't watch French either. Sorry I couldn't help

I've been done with our league for a couple of years now. This whole year I haven't watched one minute of Brazilian football as far as I remember

OK. It doesn´t matter. Thanks for answering.

Regards.

you're all wrong. Skipper said so, we were told. Schurrle is amazing. anyone who says different doesn't understand football or that his horrible conversion rate at Bayer was due to intangible reasons not in his control. all wrong.

[Leif 6,006]

bring back Studge and put him on the right wing, he is the best english striker since Robben

[Leif 6,006]

WHY DID YOU FILL US WITH HOPE DESPITE MY PERSISTENT PESSIMISM THAT THIS MOVE WAS THE WORST WE WERE MAKING SINCE EL PAELLA? DO YOU ENJOY LETTING US DOWN?

I blame his name, if his name is Saladinho, I'm sure he would play more.

[Madmax 9,219]

Games like yesterday showed the true value of genuinely useful squad players. On one hand you have Mikel who comes in and does a job 7-8 times out of 10 against all kinds of oppositions in all kinds of conditions, and on the other you have Schurrle who needs the external variables to be favourable to make any sort of impact. We required a big performance from him keeping in mind the demands placed upon a smallish squad in a busy period but he proved very inadequate. Maybe he needs a run of games but the harsh reality is that he won't get them if he fails so miserably in the ones provided - that's the nature of football at the pointy end. I don't want to be harsh on the guy because he's given us some good moments and bought into the team ethos but I'm feeling a bit silly for jumping on the bandwagon post the World Cup.

[Shakez 755]

I feel hopeless about our RW at the moment.

Schurrle completely out of form, Willian completely useless, Salah feels like isn't even part of this team anymore, he doesn't even figure in the bench for matches in a row.

Seriously, I'm the last one to join any transfer bandwagon, I think we have a great squad, but I'm starting to concede we really need to sign a better winger. Schurrle only fits a certain kind of game, so even when he's in form (and hopefully he will) he can't play teams sitting deep - or as Mou said, with a low block (although I suppose there are a few differences between those, but fact remains he can't play either situation).

So if the guy that could be useful if he gets in form can only fit certain kind of matches and the other is absolutely and hopelessly useless attacking we just have one side of our attack that is moot. We have to find better options.

Willian completely useless, i don't agree. You might be a bit too biased, the team played 10 times better with Willian than with Schürrle in the team. He had a couple of good through balls (one that led to the misfortuned Cesc slip) + he played much deeper than Cesc this game to help the team in central midfield.Just check the second half a bit closer. Must be embarrassing for Schürrle to be subbed at half-time for the X time.

I agree that Reus would be a dream, but i doubt it is going to happen in january. Still we probably need an extra winger coming in in january, because clearly Schürrle and Salah can't be relied upon for the second half of the season. Willian might probably not be the answer long term, but we most probably have to make due with him for the remainder of the season as our main RW.

[Special Juan 28,094]

Andre is the type of player that would consistently get his game week in and week out at Arsenal, because his level right now would fit perfectly, but right now he isn't even at Willian's level. That second half we looked like a team, Willian gave us a directness and a level that seamlessly both helped in the counter attack style and work rate efficiencies that Jose wants.

I bet Jose had a serious word with Andre yesterday because that was really piss poor again, this is becoming far too common with this lad and his future looks bleak.
