André Schürrle

[OneMoSalah 8,609]

Was unlucky with that chance he hit the bar with, obviously he was offside but it was a good hit and if he had gone a fraction later he would have timed his run perfectly. Some pros and cons with him upfront. Obviously hes very fast and good on the counter, not as strong and can't hold the ball up that well.

I thought that shot was going in

[Blue Armour 4,158]

I didn't think he played badly. Great work-rate, but his movement is not that of a lone striker. I still much prefer him on the wing and thought he did better when he was moved there after Torres came on.

Pretty much what I felt as well. And that he was coming up against centre-backs like Ferdinand and Vidic. A conventional CF would have done better under those circumstances. Still, playing him upfront is always a decent option for the manager...especially with Willian coming in.

Not fast enough for striker position imo, needs to work on his dribbling and touch.

He is pretty fast. I was always thinking "Man, when will he use his speed?"

[JDY 1,290]

I thought he held the ball well when he got it, but didn't get into positions to receive the ball enough. Whereas Torres was getting in some great positions, but losing it every time

Fantastic performance in my opinion and put in a great shift. Harried the defenders and forced a couple of mistakes, whilst making some decent runs that would be picked up by our midfielders better a few months into the season.

It depends which way you look at it, his work rate was excellent, even on corners he wouldn't let his man go he was always tracking.

The service will be better to him in other games also, we where just generally sloppy for me, even though Mourinho played for a draw he certainly didn't expect us to be so sloppy up top like we where.

Only thing I haven't been so impressed with is his first touch, but besides that he's looking good. He's going to need games to get in it first, Schurrle is a player with discipline and a lot of confidence with his long range shooting and trying stuff from anywhere, he hasn't done any of that since joining because he's smart enough to know if he fucks up he loses his place. And with our 10000000000 cams he can certainly be benched.

Brilliant in the first half for large stretches.

Really impressed with him.

[laeth 527]

Thoight he was good tonight . Can tell why Mourinho likes him (quick, strong, never die attitude, presses hard etc.).

[The Skipper 20,593]

Absolutely brilliant today.

[zolayes 14,489]

Absolutely brilliant today.

true

Ramires-Oscar

Schurrle-Mata-Hazard?

because it seems that Andre has cemented his starting spot. great player and such a nice bloke.

[OneMoSalah 8,609]

Whos saying this guy is a waste of money now?

He worked his fucking arse of today for the team, he was immense defensively and the little times he could contribute offensively, his run and the cut back for Torres' goal (although it took a wee nick) was brilliant, Hazard's run and pass was also excellent. Guy is a workhorse, and like Luiz, also has so much passion and positivity around him.

To be honest, I wasn't sure about the Schurrle signing. I knew he had the tools to become a top-class player but I wasn't sure as to how he'd fit in at Chelsea and my perspective was bias because when I saw Schurrle, all I thought about was Marin.

Glad to be proven wrong. As some of the posters on this forum pointed out (The Skipper, Only place to be and yourself), he's just the perfect team player due to his impressive work-rate & motor.

To think that last season, we had Benayoun and Marin on the bench....now we have Schurrle and De Bruyne ready to start/come off the bench!

Don't forget the addition of willian, who many think will make a strong push into the starting line up.

Our squad is amazing.

Credit where credit is due - he had a great game. I still don't think this signing was necessary with Moses on this team but he was good today and that's what matters I guess.

I'm not going to lie, when I heard about signing him under AVB I wasn't sure, but then I watched some games he played in Germany and he looked impressive. Still slightly raw but impressive enough.
