The 24-year-old forward came to Stamford Bridge with the business card of one of Europe’s most feared gunners. After all, he also scored 34 goals in 45 matches. He has so far scored “only” four goals in 14 matches in 14 matches. In addition, with Monday’s duel against West Ham (3: 0), he extended his goalless line in the Blues jersey to nine matches.
Coach Frank Lampard had to react to the development of the situation, moving Werner to the left wing. He counts on Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham in the role of the middle forward. Although the German gunner is collecting assists, he gets into good chances, but he is experiencing a very poor goal in terms of goals.

“But I’m not worried about him. Every attacker wants to score goals, according to which they are also evaluated. We also bought Tim because of how many goals he has scored in recent years. But he came to a new league, we have to give him time to adapt. However, he starts regularly, the teams are afraid of him and he also causes them problems, “Lampard defended his charge after the match with West Ham.
“It simply came to our notice then, but it will change. We will see a lot of goals from Tim Werner, “the coach assured.
However, another German acquisition of Kai Havertz, who came from Leverkusen for as much as 71 million pounds (over 2.1 billion crowns), has problems after the transfer to Chelsea. He jumped against West Ham in the 84th minute. Its adaptation to Stamford Bridge was further complicated by coronavirus infection.

“It is very difficult for Havertz in the new country right now. Of course, everything was further complicated by the covid. But sometimes players fall into a category where you’re not entirely sure where they belong. I don’t think Frank (Lampard) knows where to go with him. It cost a lot of money, so he had to find him a post. For Chelsea, however, I think he looks stronger at the moment in reserve with Kanté Mount and someone from the Kovačič duo, Jorginho, “said Sky Sports TV expert Jamie Carragher.
“I think Frank is waiting to see what kind of player Havertz turns out to be. And where can he count on it in a 4: 3: 3 system, “Carragher added.
