different level

So, he's a winger now? People were all over Lamps when he didn't use him as a number 9, because it was supposedly his natural position and that was the main excuse for his lack of goals.

Did well tonight but still sooo far from what he's supposed to be for us. It's never a good thing for a striker if people say: You see, he might not be scoring, but he is still playing well and contributing.

Imagine this team is going against Atletico in two weeks.

Defending for dear life in the final minutes against the likes of Sheffield United. Ever since Werner went off the formation is all over the place.

Alonso is so bad when he has to do "any" kind of defensive work. Not something we don't already know, but it never stops being annoying to watch.

It's funny how much space the SU players are leaving right now and CHO aside we have no other player who can exploit them.

He basically gave them a lifeline. If we fail to win it's 100% on him.

Now with Werner being subbed off we have no natural striker on the field.

The Rudiger - Christensen centre back combo is usually a recipe for slapstick defending. It's hardly surprising anymore.

Lol. First of all Rudiger is a clown. And then I'm not sure why was there so much hesitation over that penalty. Probably the most clear penalty situation we've had in a while.

It's weird when you think at the start of the season we were creating so many chances (and missing them for fun of course) and now we just dominate possession and barely do a thing in the final third.

Nice goal. The performance is lethargic and crappy decision making in the final third, but this was very well taken.

You can really question this lineup. Considering we don't have a single creative player the outcome is hardly surprising.

Lol, that was so sloppy.

Okay. Time to turn this off.

I honestly don't feel like watching.

There we go...

It doesn't look like we are any better than the last couple of games.

We are so sloppy with our passes. Not looking nice.

Always a bad feeling when we hit the post without having the lead.

A must win against this sorry bunch. Put them even further down the table and likely send Arteta packing.

Thing is I refuse to put all those missed chances aside. You could have all the excuses in the world but the sad reality is his finishing has varied from unconvincing to abysmal. I'm still having nightmares about that situation against Leeds when he actually stopped the ball from going in their net.

Sure, you're probably right. Drogba's first season here was also not something to write home about. But with Werner I genuinely thought it will be different and that he'll start as a world beater kinda like Costa did.

His finishing is what worries me. In the past month or so it's Morata levels of bad. One can only hope he turns it around, but I've just got this bad feeling...

I'm extremely disappointed with Werner. It's like the same old story with us and those big money strikers. They struggle and struggle, people keep saying "give him time, he'll come good in the end", but you just know that's not going to happen. When you think that in the last 15 years we've only had Drogba and Costa who managed to meet the expectations it's mental. It's no surprise that we've won the EPL titles only with those leading the line.
