Timo Werner appears to have laid the blame for his poor Chelsea form on the tactical structure while claiming he feels "more comfortable" playing for Germany due to "differences in the style of play".
The former RB Leipzig forward has failed to live up to the lofty expectations placed on him upon his arrival in the summer of 2020 in a deal that cost the Blues £53million. While he is often a handful for opposition defenders with his intelligent movement and well-timed runs, Werner simply has not pulled his weight in terms of goal-scoring.
It is not always the case, though. Werner can often be found netting for Germany and was among the goals again during Die Mannschaft's 2-0 friendly victory over Israel, ensuring the 2014 World Cup winners have won eight from eight outings under former Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick.
