I feel Werner would still cope if teams defend deep against him. He has a powerful shot on him and can score some long range goals if he doesn't have space to run. After all leicester is 3rd on the premier league table and smaller teams tried to park the bus against them to cope but Vardy still did well. Werner will still need time to adapt though, but I like his chances. He is definitely not a Morata or Torres signing. He has way more tools in his box.

edit

Hopefully he can cope with the physicality of the league, but I rather see him similar to Vardy. Both in stature, speed, style of play and shooting style. If he can provide similar goal output to Vardy and still give high number of assists then he has done well imo.

I don't think Abraham will be benched. We could line up with a formation like this Abraham Pulisic/CHO - Werner - Ziyech Kovacic - Kante OR Werner - Abraham - Ziyech Rlc/Mount - Kante Kovacic/Gilmour This way we have more goalscorers on the pitch with ziyech supplying them. In fact, in Liepzeg, Poulsen plays with werner and provides the hold up play up front while Werner runs in behind. This could play out the same way with Abraham and Werner. Also Judging from our pursuit of Chilwell, Lamps may just be looking for a very attacking left wing back along side Reece james and aiming for a 3-4-3 Just like liepzeg like this Werner - Abraham Ziyech Chilwell - Kovacic - Kante - James Rudiger - Christensen - Azpi OR Werner - Abraham - Ziyech Chilwell - Kovacic - Kante - James Rudiger - Christensen - Azpi Both ways Werner is going to benefit from the system as he's so versatile and has a strong weak foot. He has 30 goals already, he's not a small player and with his entry, we have him and ziyech with long range shooting. Finally I thought I'll never see the days of Lamps and Ballack taking long shots again....

Exactly. Its honestly no coincidence. I hope lamps trusts Gilmour more.

Gilmour's presence has improved the players around him. Mount has scored his first goal in 19 matches, Even Barkley is looking like Debruyne,

I even think he's a better passer than Jorginho, but I don't want to push it since he's young and it's only two games. Jorginho has this annoying knack for giving difficult to receive passes which makes the attacker need to take an extra touch before he can control the ball, Gilmour passes it on the grass, neat and tidy. And he also gets his head up before he receives a pass, so he knows if he's manmarked and who to pass to before the ball gets to him. He also covers so much ground its ridiculous. Gilmour reminds me of a young Verrati really

Fantastic performance. He has all Jorginho's attributes but with more speed and strength to boot. He has to be a starter from now on. There must be a reason why we are so comfortable anytime he's controlling the midfield.

His passing is overrated. He can only give short passes, but any pass with length is either too short, too far, or towards the stomach instead of ball to feet. Maybe I've been spoiled by the quality of fabregas in the past but they're not in the same league in passing. Jorginho is just an average passer imo

All the attacking flair we had when Lamps came in is all gone. Having Mount as our main creative Attacking midfielder whilst having no ounce of creativity will be the death of Frank unfortunately. We have no creative player in our whole attack, no one can pass to a runner through on goal. Abraham is starved of quality service and as a poacher he thrives on service. What happened to our ferocious high pressing we used to play with when Lamps came in?? Maybe its because of the stop of the midfield trio of Jorginho-Kovacic-Mount that we have lost all attacking flair??

This is a problem

Our good luck charm?

Dechamps is a mad man. He's just taking the piss at this point

We're improving

The players here "let him down". Must be experiencing the same thing in Spain...

What a colossal performance from Zouma today. How many last ditch blocks did he make. Fantastic, even his passing has massively improved. He's the man
