Can't in any way see Salah in front of Schürrle, even though Andre hasn't play that well lately. IMO Salah is still a good way behind Andre.

If Schurrle isn't finishing his chances, I don't see why he shouldn't be dropped. He's not that good with the ball, mediocre passer, almost no creativity/vision. He has also been pretty woeful defending without the ball. His biggest asset is his off the ball movement and his goal threat. And if he isn't scoring, he's pretty useless.

Salah on the other hand is the opposite right now. Great technique on the ball, good dribbler, good vision, although inconsistent passing and poor final ball/shot. Salah has a long way to go to reach his potential, and he might never reach it. But imo he has better potential than Schurrle.

Schurrle makes the best runs on the team. Has the best stamina minus Ramires and can constantly press the opposition.

In addition, Shurrle has the best shot power on his kicks and technique..

With Hazard a guaranteed starter, I would prefer to have a Schurrle on the other side that would constantly run and give Cesc outlets for those runs... Like Cristiano, Schurrle is a high volume shooter, but unlike Cristiano, Schurrle doesnt have the fk responsibilites that would give fans the green light in terms of shootings....

Both of their main asset is off the ball movement into dangerous areas.

Only difference is Schurrle has and will always probably be the better finisher.

Salah looks good on the ball with close control but I have yet to seem him actually play will my dribbling at people (though you can't say yet, as he only really had those games towards the end of last season)

His link up play is the one thing he had above Schurrle, around the box I think he's fantastic with one touch passing, but as an individual brings half the impact a Schurrle does. He's scored in most big games come to think of it, man city at home, away this year, PSG at home, arsenal at home.

Your really looking at this the wrong way.

Salah weak side is shooting that's what his target should be to improve his shots and after that he will be a star, and for his dribbling well we have seen him take on the likes of terry, azpilcuata etc.. When he was at Basel.

Salah just hasn't had the amount of chances Schurrle has. salah needs more game time

Exactly!

A player can only improve and show his worth, if he is given the chance to.

correct..and when given the chance to play a full game..he plays with the "second option" team...and not with the main team...

IMO Salah needs to play more often with Fabregas who is such a wonderful play maker..with whom Salah can really uses his speedy one-two technique to break into tight defense even against a bus parking tactic..

I like Salah a lot, but honestly: who should sit on the bench for him? Schürrle and Willian seems to be better so far. Also, we'll have plenty of matches(COC, CL, PL) in the next few months, not to mention the rush in December: we'll play on the 20th, 26th, 28th and the 1st of January. He'll get a chance.

His situation is not too bad, he played 2 matches in 7 days(Bolton and Sporting) and he can prove his class every day on trainings. Everything is up to him.

I have said it before and will say it again. Salah was a totally unnecessary buy and offers nothing that players like Thorgan Hazard, atsu and even Victor Moses can't. I will even go as far as to say the former two are better than him.

I think it was the circumstance at the point of time really. We had 4 AMs for 3 positions after Mata and KDB left and a few unlucky injuries would have put us in a pretty bad state. I'm pretty sure we couldn't just recall the other loaned players you mentioned. If Mata had only left in the summer window we would have probably kept a more suitable one. It's not like he is completely useless though as he does have bags of pace. Although I agree that the others are better in some aspects and even Moses can be a useful squad player plus he has the benefit of homegrown status. However, it is still early and hopefully he can prove his worth over the course of the season.

He would surely get games as long as we stay in the cups with the matches rolling up fast over the course of the season he just has to show he's more than good enough to be in the starting 11 whenever handed a chance to perform,I believe he's a good player that only needs some consistent run of games to show what he can do
