Debate: Will Werner be a success at Spurs? | OneFootball

Timo Werner: Tottenham’s New Turbo Boost

Tottenham’s Early Bird Approach

“Tottenham’s acquisition of Timo Werner, loaned from RB Leipzig, is an unexpected but strategic move,” begins Jack Pitt-Brooke, Spurs writer for The Athletic. He elaborates:

Werner’s Diverse Skillset

Seb Stafford-Bloor, discussing Werner’s attributes, points out, “He’s not a natural goal scorer, he’s not really a natural Winger. The best way to look at him is as a bundle of attributes. What does he do with the ball? What does he allow you to do as a team? What does he have that Tottenham don’t?” This insight highlights Werner’s versatility beyond mere goal-scoring.

The Chelsea Perspective

Liam Twomey, reflecting on Werner’s time at Chelsea, says, “He was useful at Chelsea… he stretched the game by his mere presence. The Defenders had to react to what he was doing, even if what he was doing was not particularly subtle and not always particularly effective.” Twomey emphasises Werner’s ability to alter the dynamics of a game, even without scoring.

Mental Fortitude and Opportunity

Discussing Werner’s psychological resilience, Pitt-Brooke observes, “It’s always cruel when a player becomes a banter player… I hope that his it hasn’t kind of shattered his confidence in such a profound way that he won’t be able to get it back.”

Tactical Fit at Spurs

Stafford-Bloor further adds, “I think there’s a little bit of hesitation and conservatism within that forward line which… verer feels like a response to that. He feels like a bit more determination just to go forward a bit more south to North.” This comment underlines Werner’s potential to inject a direct, aggressive approach into Tottenham’s attack.

The Verdict

In conclusion, the panel offers varied predictions on Werner’s success at Tottenham. Seb Stafford-Bloor predicts “success,” Liam Twomey considers him “useful,” and Jack Pitt-Brooke believes Werner will be “efficient” at Spurs.
