Timo Werner

[different level 1,056]

Sooner or later he has to improve his goalscoring form if he wants to make it here. I'll admit even if his finishing is extremely disappointing in general, he also appears to have the worst of luck. However, I really hate it when people say: "Well, at least he works his arse off". That's not good enough from the player who should be our main goal threat. I've heard it many times before and it never ends well.

Agree. I don't know he has been cursed or we have been cursed or whatever but even when he was missing chances in the Bundesliga, his big chance conversion rate was never as bad as this season:

2016/17 - 67%

2017/18 - 30%

2018/19 - 31.3%

2019/20 - 46.2%

2020/21 - 22.7%

He has clearly shown that he can score goals but whether he can do so consistently remains to be seen. One can only hope his luck changes next season.

And that is why we also need to sign a #9. That would help take the pressure off Werner - and maybe see him do better as a result of it - and ease our worries! Because if we take aside those misses (not to say they're excusable), his goal and assist tallies aren't bad for someone who is a more of an inside forward/a second striker but of course it's bad if we look at him as the main #9, the main goal source etc.

Any more arguments of player X should be playing ahead of Werner should be finally put to bed. Not one of our attack has performed at a consistent level to be a regular starter. 

Havertz missing a sitter vs Arsenal. Mount invisible in the big games. Ziyech lackluster. Pulisic missing a sitter vs Villa. CHO and his horrid decision making. 

This argument should now be dead in the water.

Werner is in his prime and not performing, while he is one of the greatest Bundesliga players to ever play Bundesliga, even though I never rated him. We just lack world class players. We only have Silva and Kante, who are truly world class

scored an offside goal again and was not even his fault lol. guy cant catch a break.

fluffed two shots where clean contact probably would have meant a goal. His crosses were mostly terrible apart from one instance. If he scores a winner in the CL final everything will be forgiven ofc.

Is 25 years old considered being in prime?

And where are your comments on your boy Ziyech? 👀

[Jase 43,479]

Karma for us...

He really pissed me off today, he has no composure, has also been a tad unlucky but still, he fucks up each time you count on him. Hope he improves next season.

He also does not perform, but at least he rarely plays and was injured couple of times. Werner plays every match

But there's a reason why he rarely plays... 👀

Seen some of the highlights. If we do sign another attack next season we will do better. If not, we are fucked. Also, wtf was Timo doing at the corner for Traore’s goal, I get its not his man but he just watches him run past him basically.

You kinda answered your own question there? It seems like Werner was tasked with keeping an eye on late runner into the box? Who was even marking Traore at the back post anyway?

Aye but does he not think he should maybe try follow him no? Considering the ball rolled into him. Its not rocket science surely. Abysmal goal by all accounts

If he was tasked to watch any late runner into the box, then not sure if he could be fully blamed for being caught in two roles. 

If anything, who was supposed to mark Traore? Why was he allowed to run free and unmarked from the far post?
