Why Timo Werner Is PERFECT For Tottenham

Рет қаралды 83,109

5 ай бұрын

Former Chelsea flop Timo Werner has become Tottenham's first signing of the January transfer window, raising eyebrows all across London. But a quick look at the players time at Stamford Bridge, and the years since back in Germany, suggest that he might actually be the perfect fit for Ange Postecoglu's system.

My thoughts are that a line that has both Brennan Johnson popping off of the wing as well as Timo Werner running down the middle is going to be entertaining due to the overwhelming pace of both players. Throw in Son trailing behind by a few steps and playmakers like Maddison and Kulusexy flicking off beatiful pass after beautiful pass..... Its at least going to be entertaining.

Timo on the wing is an awful idea

@iceeeuuuu 5 ай бұрын

I would love to see Richi on the wing and Johno in the middle, he hits the ball so clean. Richi has the speed and his passing is far better then his finishing ATM. Tino isn't the answer imo. But ange has a nack of bringing in the right people. So for spurs fans id be excited.

Chelsea fan here and I agree with this analysis of Timo. Yes he was a poor finisher, but he was a young player needing time to settle in the right position amidst Chelsea’s background chaos and that never really happened. Two things not mentioned and difficult to quantify: 1.) Timo was offside, a lot. Some of that was his fault but there were numerous times CFC’s midfield didn’t play him through quick enough, negating chances and goals. Kovacic, Jorginho, et al appeared unable to calibrate their progressive passes to his pace. 2.) He was really intelligent at creating space for others. Look no forther than Kai’s UCL-winning goal against City. It was Timo’s run that cleared the space for Mount’s through ball to Kai. All in all I think he’s a good player and will do well at Spurs.

@chasef4927 5 ай бұрын

Completely agree with your assessment. There is one major issue with Timo, and two major results from that: He does not have a good touch on the ball, so he is looking down constantly. 1) He misses easy chances, because he just isn't good with the ball. 2) He then guesses at passes a lot, some work and some don't. His speed and positioning are incredible, so he will cause a lot of problems to defenders. I'm hoping he does well. I always liked Timo.

I think that's probably what's going to happen to Werner at Tottenham and he will be more successful than a lot of people think.

I have been thinking that too. Imagine Nunez at United now, the disrespect would be unreal. But in Liverpool he is still okay, because Klopp keeps backing him. Maybe he will still come through. It's still possible. And the same goes for Timo Werner. Who knows, he just might thrive again at Spurs, they seem to have a good manager and supportive fans.

You’re wrong about xG. If he matched his xG his finishing is in line with the expected average finisher in the premier league, doesn’t make him terrible.

Spurs don’t need Werner to score goals. They can make great use of him running opposing wingers and wingbacks ragged, annoying defenders and giving Udogie and other attackers more space. And, as you say, he’s good at progressive carries. When he gets the ball up into the 18 yard box, there are always others who know how to score with it. Spurs can make effective use of all those skills.

I like the lad and feel he was just the wrong player for Chelsea at that time. Played 89 games for Chelsea with 44 goal involvement is a goal or assist every second game. Not terrible considering he was taken off the left wing to accommodate Pulisic. Had he stayed out wide he would have performed better but that was Chelseas mistake. Hopefully we wont repeat that error.

2 thoughts. Immediate thought was Werner is perfect for Tottenham and you’ve summed it up perfectly. Great signing for them and I expect that he’ll fit right in and give them what they need. 2nd though was on whether xG is accurate and thinking back to the Darwin Nunez highlights before he signed for Liverpool and I remember thinking geez he gets lucky with goal keepers spilling the ball or not saving once’s they should and getting rebounds and tap ins when they do and that’s proven mighty accurate

I have remained one the biggest Werner fanboys, and absolutely reject the "flop" label, for all the reasons stated in the video. As someone with absolutely off the charts good interpretation of space, awesome speed and timing of his runs, he should fit into most of systems. However for Ange's Spurs, there is a caveat. Spurs is playing with hyper frontfoot forward system, in a condensed space for their high positioning of players. That leaves Werner with limited space to run behind the allready pressed back defensive lines and do his "best job". He is also defensively aware player, who can win balls and initiate counter attacks, but i wouldn't be too surprised if we don't see as much of defensive line breaking runs from him at Spurs as we have used to see from him in Leipzig or Chelsea.
