With werner it is so obvious from watching his game with rb, let him do what Werner does best and he will produce number at very high clip. Do we need him to be great at build up and hold up? Nope, we have other player to do that. I think i mentioned this to Jason, it is similar to how klopp handled Salah. 

Not even sure if Salah is the ideal comparison given he primarily plays on the flanks...

The funny thing here is, one of the main reasons Werner is being played so much on the left right now is because of Pulisic's injury and the fact that Lampard doesn't fully trust CHO. Had Pulisic been fit, Werner would have likely spent more time playing through the middle. 

And as I alluded to you before, don't know why you keep on thinking we need to have this physical striker upfront to do the buildup play or hold up for others etc. Do you see Man City doing that with Aguero upfront, for example? Moreover, we haven't even seen enough of this 4-3-3 with Werner leading the line and flanked by Pulisic and Ziyech to see how that works but people are already jumping to conclusions. There are many ways to skin a cat.

but i have a "blessing in disguise" about pulisic injury. we just see that tammy is really effective playing againt the low block defense,,it come better and better to see his ball control now and make space for Werner/Ziyech to shoot from outside penalty box. thanks god,,we already have more attacking option now in the league. big credit is to 4-3-3 system to accomodate the weakness of Kante and Mount so far. next,,i really hope Kai's effect as our big transfer this season to complete this puzzle....

Miss many chances, that is a bit worrying.

Placing a bet on him scoring against Tottenham.

Could have been rested here, he looks knackered. 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

His confidence is shot since the int break. Needs to be rested before he gets into a hole.

Looks like Turbo Timo needs a refuel.

im not worrying about him. he does a lot of stuff other than getting in to chances. it's good until he gets into chances.

He was never the most clinical striker to begin with. He missed the second most chances in Bundesliga last season for a reason.

Hope he scores against Spurs because we need clinical finishes against them.

Werner scores a goal - "Yay. Okay, we move on..."

Werner misses a chance - "Oh no, it's concerning!"

Not saying he shouldn't have scored at least twice in these last two games but some of the (over)reaction I have seen to his misses are hilarious. 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Never liked him on the wing. He is not a 1 vs 1 player. Would rather have CHO on the left next game.

At the risk of sounding like I'm making excuses for Werner (lol), would also say the pass for the second miss just missed the mark. Was a bit behind him and he had to moved back slightly to shoot, plus the keeper was also quick to shut him down. He scored from the same position from a much more accurate pass at Burnley.

Top 5 Most Used Players This Season:

1. Werner - 1,224 mins
2. Zouma - 1,199 mins
3. Mount - 1,050 mins
4. Kante - 1,017 mins
5. Chilwell - 946 mins

Excluding Zouma (because he's a CB), Werner has played almost at least 2 games more than anyone else and it's not even December yet! He's gonna need a break soon...

Serious question, would anyone start Pulisic (if he's fit) over Werner against Spurs? Let's be real here, he's missed crucial chances in the last four games consistently.

That's not the only problem though, his all around game was awful. He constantly loses the ball, and his passing is not good enough as well. There's not enough dribbling or shooting when he comes up against a defender.

Pulisic on the other hand is a lethal finisher, not only that but his dribbling and passing is class. I'd honestly give Werner a rest, and start Pulisic if he's fit. An unmatchfit Pulisic would perform better than how Werner is performing at the moment in my opinion.

The second one was not easy the ball was behind him and wobbling so you need good technique to still score but the first there is no excuse cos he just needs to stay above the ball and direct it Hiawatha with any body part
