We tend to see strikers who pass up chance after chance being turned into scapegoats by the fans, but Timo Werner is such an interesting case at Chelsea.
The vast majority of fans and neutrals want to like him because his effort and attitude is just perfect, but he just lacks some confidence and composure in front of goal and it’s really hurting Thomas Tuchel’s side just now.
There was a huge chance for redemption in the Champions League final tonight against Man City, while there may also have been hopes from the fans that their encouragement and support would help him recover that form.
Unfortunately, the start to the game has brought more of the same as he fluffed a great chance with an air shot before failing to trouble Ederson with another opening shortly afterwards.
His effort is never in doubt, but you can see that these Chelsea fans want him to be sold in the summer:
How can you be content with werner man, this guy has to go

Timo Werner has to be scoring that.. A bit unlucky with the miss kick on the first one, but that second one has to go in #UCLFinal #MCICHE

Werner seriously has to go let’s be honest so much support for this man for this hall of shame performance is utterly disgusting

You know this will probably end up with him scoring a scuffed winner and becoming a true cult-hero, but the position still needs to be upgraded next season.
I really appreciate my fellow players
Of Chelsea I love you so much guys
Have the greatest day ever
Chelsea should do what it takes to bring Gary Kane
Chelsea is the best team in the world in the last two decades.. Won everything in the football fraternity… 🎉⚽⚽ Never die attitude by management and now with so youthful team… Dominate is guaranteed with Thomas in the helm.. 🏅🇿🇦Viva✊Kante.. Mendy… Moss… Pullisic
I really appreciate Chelsea players for putting the effort to win this champion league and really appreciate our striker khai Havertz.
As for Werner he still need more time because this thing is a temptation.
Thanks you all.
