It surprises a lot. See Timo Werner denied facing goal and being troleado by their own fans. On Saturday after the game against Fulham and after being a substitute, his poor performances went viral again among Chelsea fans. ‘Fair shotgun’ they dedicate to him without compassion. Against his rival, also from London, he played 15 minutes which were quite unfortunate. What’s more, he missed a very clear chance, a heads up with Areola that he couldn’t resolve. Who has seen him and who sees him. It was what was missing. At the conclusion of the clash on the networks, a video summary of his performance against Fulham circulated a lot to, once again, point out his mistakes.
It has become a constant this season to see Werner fail more than necessary in front of goal. Errors in hand-to-hand or definition. It is not fine at all and that worries both Chelsea and their fans a lot. Quite far from the title race, with the obligation to get into the Champions League, the continental competition is beginning to be seen as the burning nail. A good performance was expected from the new stars bought at the back of the check this summer to knock Atlético down in the second round and there is a lot of concern, for example, about the state of Timo Werner.
It is the first time in the last four years that the German has exhibited erratic statistics. He exhibits an expected goal (xG) figure of 10.6 while he has scored just 9 goals so far this season, according to data from provider Statsbomb. It means that he marks less than he should according to the occasions he has had. Last season, the last one at Leipzig, he finished with seven more real goals than expected. He scored 34 among all competitions while his xG was 27. 0.42 goals every 90 minutes down 0.86 from last season. At the beginning of December, his clamorous rulings were already counted at six.
It was a goal insurance. Quite the opposite of this season, especially in the Premier. In the league he has 678 minutes in a row without scoring and that has cost his team points to Lampard’s despair. Werner cost 53 million, Chelsea loyal a lot to the German, who was left without contesting the final phase of the Champions League in Lisbon for the signing, but at the moment their numbers are not remarkable just over a month after being measured with Atlético.
