His speed creates problems for the oppo and occasionally puts in a good cross. Conversely his first touch is horrid and he can't finish.
He's a pest basically, like another Lucas Moura. Not quite as bad as some say but one we should upgrade.

Yes he had a stinker and so did BJ and Son
Who would pick those three as our front three in an important European game???
Oh hang on!
The difference is Lucas Moura knew his own limitations and played to his strengths.
Werner is Cristiano Ronaldo until it comes time to strike the ball then he magically transforms into me.
Johnson should never play on the left. I dont understand why Ange keeps trying to play him there, he offers about as much as Werner on that side.Yes he had a stinker and so did BJ and Son

LW is just another position where we're fucked. Choice of an aging Son who's looked off all season, and Werner.
Desperate stuff from Ange, publicly throwing a player under the bus
Acknowledging what we've all known and now using him to deflect, (the pressure) or possibly have a sly dig at the owners etc.
The funny (and sad) thing is that he wasn't even that bad tonight by his ridiculously low standards. If anything it was a very normal Werner performance.
Nah his head dropped when asked to work. He more than anyone should be leaving everything out there for the team.
That was what he was called out for.
When he's missed chances and played poorly Ange has defended him.
Yep me too. Don't mind players being out of form or making mistakes but the minute they drop their heads and don't work even harder to make up for their mistakes - that's it for me.
Shame - I really did want it to work for him as a second/third choice for us
Yeah.
It could have been so different if Timo had taken that chance in the first minute.
As Joe Pesci said in "My Cousin Vinny"-"I'm finished with dis guy."
Maybe he needs some coaching which goes further than "just run about".
The whole team looks uncoached. Bissouma can't pass more than 20cm ffs. I'm sick of this guy being the scapegoat.

Werner was poor when he arrived now he has got worse. Every player regressing is a massive flag one eventually even Levy with zero understanding of the game will get this.
Was he shit? Absolutely. Was he a level of shit beyond what we've seen from the likes of Johnson, bissouma etc on a regular basis? Not in my opinion. The fact that he's let others get away with abject performances and a real lack of effort yet called out timo tonight shows the character of the manager. I'd rather timo stayed the rest of the season than that useless inept egotistical fraud.
false
he has called Werner out before for not contributing enough.
