“His his performance is obviously “ATROCIOUS” which add pressure to the team defensively, Ange should DROP him with immediate alacrity or else more lose await Spurs”- Pundit calls for “atrocious” Tottenham player to be dropped after recent performances
Tottenham winger Timo Werner is facing growing criticism for his lackluster goal-scoring form.
Initially brought in on loan in January, Werner impressed enough last season to secure a one-year extension. However, recent performances have raised concerns among fans and analysts about his place in the team.
Although he isn’t the first choice under Ange Postecoglou, injuries to Heung-min Son and Richarlison have allowed him more playing time recently. Unfortunately, Werner has developed a reputation for squandering easy chances, attracting both online and in-person ridicule.
His struggles have continued, with missed one-on-one opportunities against Manchester United and Ferencvaros drawing particular ire. Craig Burley is among those expressing frustration, labeling Werner’s finishing as “atrocious” and noting his failure to replicate his Bundesliga success in the Premier League.
Burley suggested that Werner’s poor finishing increases defensive pressure on Tottenham and recommended that Postecoglou consider starting 17-year-old Mikey Moore instead, a sentiment echoed by fans who chanted for the young player after Werner’s misses against United.
On ESPN UK’s YouTube channel, Burley stated:
“I don’t want to single him out, but I will. Timo Werner has been unable to deliver in England like he did in Germany. His finishing was again poor, which adds pressure on the defense when chances aren’t converted. If he starts after the break, I’d be surprised. Moore, a young talent, is likely to take his spot, especially as Brennan Johnson has turned his performance around.”
In other news, Tottenham’s five-game winning streak ended in a dramatic collapse against Brighton, who came back from two goals down to win 3-2 in just 18 minutes. With the international break in progress, Tottenham will have a chance to regroup before facing West Ham on October 19.
