Closed Man United v Chelsea

[Toli 977]

He has appeared in the no.9 role, and the 9 and 1/2 role when he was asked to. Even when on paper he was LW, he has gone on to exchange positions mid-way.

kießling was the striker for leverkusen the whole season. Schürrle is just someone who cuts inside from the wing. you wouldnt call robben a striker because he does so? schürrle was clearly playing on the left wing, while moving to the middle when he had the opportunity.

I wish Lampard never got a new contract

[Mouri_Matic 560]

This should decide who is higher in the pecking order for strikers, who comes on as a sub? Torres or lukaku?

If Torres come on then Jose had a Fat Spanish Waiter esque game

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

COME ON LADS !

[JDY 1,290]

Will have to wait and see how it plays out.

I'm assuming that Andre's workrate and the fact that on the counters he will be a big threat was enough to convince Jose. Can see Schurrle and Oscar doubling up on Carrick.

Now that is a bit too far mate.

When Kiesling wasn't there Schurrle has started in there. Oh god cutting inside is different. This is direct approach into the final third and staying there for long periods like a normal #.9 or sometimes dropping back like a #10

If this fails, Mourinho will just say he's not happy with his strikers etc and force Roman to get something done.

If it works on the other hand, his 'legend' will only grow

[Barbara 15,149]

Schurrle as ST? Lampard?

Btw, Hazard/Oscar/KDB, looks like Jose didnt wait until January to drop Mata!

dude he's completely out of shape, why play a guy out of shape against one of the biggest opponents? Makes no sense! It has nothing to do with Mourinho disliking him

Do you want Benitez back then?

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

You do know players have feelings and unlike on fifa they can exualy be gutted because of shit like this? Our youth academy must be happy that after 10 years of abramovic none of them plays in XI line up or is on the bench. Even 100mil a season madrid does better. beside terry who was bought on the age of 15 from west ham.

He is on the bench, he might get a chance. If he can't handle being left out he is not cut out to play for us. Jose is one of the best man managers out there.

Let's throw on youth players who aren't up to it and lose an important game? No, you'd rather play your star players.

We need to win, he obviously thinks this is the best way to beat United.

If he is wrong he will make changes

Why would it be a false 9? Schurrle is naturally a striker. It'll just be a normal set up really.

Not a fan of Lamps playing. Van Ginkel or even Essien would have allowed Ramires a lot more freedom to press.

Excuses, let us see what you tell me when the season ends...

[NishC300 1,865]

David Moyes: Age 50, 0 major trophies.

Jose Mourinho: Age 50, 16 major trophies.

[jonaaibosk 191]

Seriously, Sky Sports, are we genuinely supposed to understand what that bin dipper Carragher is saying? If you're going to work on TV, at least make sure that you can speak properly

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

I know but I have a feeling will be seeing more of this for the rest of the season. The guy has played like 4 games in the last 2 weeks and I can see him start on Friday too

[John1611 77]

100% sure Schurrle will start on the right to track Evras runs...

Good job mate, you got half of it right
