Well for one, play him as a striker.

With Pulisic taking back the LW position after the international break I'm sure Timo will play up front most games. And Havertz will play behind him to get the best out of both players.

But what happens if/when Pulisic is out again? Don't tell me we're gonna move Werner out wide there every single time?

When Ziyech is back as well I'd hope for CHO-Werner-Ziyech as the front three if Pulisic is out. Callum is at his best on the left wing anyway and less effective on the right.

Not sure Lampard sees it that way though.

Werner had flu-like symptoms, tested negative and will join up with Germany

Chelsea striker Timo Werner was kept away from the Germany squad for the first part of this week as the 24-year-old was suffering from flu-like symptoms.

Werner didn’t feature for Die Mannschaft in their 3-3 draw in a friendly against Turkey in Cologne on Wednesday. However, he will now be part of the Germany squad for their games against Ukraine and Switzerland as he has been declared fit to take part and passed the required COVID-19 tests.

Therein lies the potential problem.

Superb goal

'It's crazy I am here with them now': Timo Werner says he can't believe he's now at Chelsea alongside Frank Lampard, Petr Cech and Ashley Cole after watching them in the Champions League as a boy

I do not know if that is a good goal or horrible defending

 If that had been Abraham, you would have been shouting from the rooftop over it. 

You could maybe argue that one of the defenders should have just taken him out (and maybe risk him getting injured!) but it's never easy to stop a player suddenly running at you, especially once you start backpedaling, and he still had a lot to do to score that goal.

He has played on the wing most of the games for us hasn't he though? With little space to run in behind to.

Position doesnt suit him as much as it did for Leipzig as they played with much more directness and unpredictability in the final third IMO. Their style of play was much more clear. He basically would come in off the side and almost play as a second striker. Same for Germany in previous times he has played on the left but seems to play centrally more often than not now.

Don't think Leipzig play against as many packed defences as we do but when Ziyech comes back and Pulisic we will be able to use him centrally and should have more directness and creativity in our attack. Creating space for him in behind teams is going to be key to maximising his goal scoring ability.

Played great today.

He'll play upfront when everyone is fit. Frank pretty much confirmed that in his old press conferences and when he does with players around them we'll create chances and I'm sure he'll score them

Good game by Him. Link with Havertz will be superb. We just need to find him a best position but i think he most likely play as 9 when wingers will back.

[Magic Lamps 11,449]

Played lone striker yesterday and probably had one of his better by the reports. Good goal and assist. I really hope we try him out there again and Hasenhüttl tries his crazy high line again
