- 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
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.
Did you said kulusexy
@@Nansy_yeah they did
AND THEY MEANT IT
Kulusesxy 😂
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.
Imagine Enzo’s through and lofted passes to Werner on left 😍
Clear minded, insightful and articulate ... mate, you've just shook up my long held belief that every Chelsea fan is a belter ... it was uncalled for and a bit rude to be honest 😉
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.
Werner wasn't a terrible player at Chelsea, he was just very clearly a man who had been cursed
The Chelsea striker curse is real
I dunno, a cursed player going to a cursed club sounds like a bad omen lol
He was
@@grimedoc81802 negatives = a positive 😂
so what about him at RB now?
You are a top analyst and funny as well. I could watch a full 3 hour episode every day
I believe that Timo at Chelsea It's something that could've happened to Darwin Nunez, but he arrived at the team with the right manager and atmosphere that supports his upsides while working on downsides. 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.
@@LoveToHearUSingNunez is not okay at Liverpool he has had as many chances as Haaland has probably more. He can't handle the premier league. Darwin absolute smashed it for benfica. He just ain't good enough.
@@iceeeuuuu nunez never played in Italy
@@sandwichgamer4041 why I thought Benfica was in Italy I don't know lol, but yeah even worse the primeira liga.
@@iceeeuuuu We don't know that yet. Klopp is prepared to give him some time. I trust in Klopp and so do many if not most Liverpool fans, I think.
At Chelsea he had decent off the ball positioning and movement as well, whenever I watched. I hope he can return to form.
Timo will be a hit at Tottenham. We loved him even though he didn’t do great for us. He will terrorize defenses.
Werner brace v manure.....i can dream.
I honestly belief they will be a threat next season they had a lot of injuries early on and only 6 points off top
Love what Ange is doing as a Liverpool fan
Nah next season they will drop off , most managers don't sustain a first season bounce unless they buy good players which depends on levy
Never mind next season, we're coming for everyone this season. Including Liverpool.
A t Anfield we'll see, referee had to help you beat us in your own backyard@@hmq9052
Everyone said we'd be fighting relegation after we lost Kane... We're contending for top 4 under a new manager, mind you. So stop talking out of your asshole@@utwxyz123
Udogie running through players seeking the fast runs of werner to put it on a plate for richarlison who frankly needs the silver service to be effective...might work
Really enjoy your Spurs content, Adam!
I loved Werner & believe he was poorly used by successive Chelsea managers once Frank moved him away from that Left IF role.
He’s going to smash it under Ange. Good for him. He’s a really nice guy & deserves it. I’d have him back at Chelsea over Sterling in a heartbeat 😔
this was my thought in the tot man u game i watched last night, timo werner isnt a great finished but he makes great plays. i mean the bentacour goal was an assist from werner.
Chelsea fan here. He will be a big hit. Said it here, so I can come back to check if I was right or…. 😅
Good analysis
Really enjoying all your content mate. Delivery, insight and how you explain key stats is top tier.
Watching ange-ball with that high line reminds me of looking at old formations in football history. They sometimes be looking like they playing 2-3-5 😂 ange just being an really OG
Really they typically try to shape up into a 2-2-6 (or 2-2-3-3). 2 CBs, Porro + the #6, Udogie, #10, and Sarr, and then the 3 forwards. Super aggressive game plan. It's like the concept of the box midfield, except the midfield is also the defense.
Always look forward to your take. I know you will be cheering him on now so he can make your prediction true :D I also wonder if it crossed your mind it's a safe bet Ange will get the best from him. After watching I realised it's not going to be an intense focus on him providing the finishing. A good fit indeed I feel. COYS
I am a Chelsea fan and I was really upset when we sold Werner, he made everyone around him better and created space for other players. I think he will be brilliant at Spurs under Ange and we will se point production go up for Son, Richarlison, Madden, Kulusevski because of Werner.
Love all these Spurs videos 442! Thanks
Thank you for this in depth video ❤
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. He finished slightly below on average over his 2 years at chelsea which just means he wasn’t amazing but look at his goals vs xG at RB Leipzig, it’s almost bang on
Keep up the good work ❤. Really good content.
Excellent video and analysis my man
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.
Great stuff. Thank you for the analysis!
great video, been fighting rival fans about why this signing can actually be decent for Tottenham
Something as well Jacob I think it was the lack of confidence he probably had. Which I think resulted in poor decision making when taking a shot or trying to pass a through ball. If he can get his confidence back his finishing will definitely improve to put the ball in the back of net.
Leipzig are still in 4 competitions and have CL clash against Real Madrid coming up yet they're happy to let him leave on loan in January. Not exactly a positive review of his current form?
The star tables are very well designed. Clean interface, good choice of typography and nice to look at. Big up to the content team
Really really good video mate loved every second❤
Thank you for the great content, kind sir
7:47 I’m this far in the video and as a chelsea fan I have seen Chelsea in every one of these rankings except for the ones that potentially lead to goals. It’s so sad how we’re so good yet so bad
I watched this show on Werner & really enjoyed it. Ive become a Tottenham fan so looking at a lot of Spurs player content shows & your insight is terrific. Cheers mate 🇦🇺
What I don't like about the analysis is that obviously there were some confidence issues with him. You don't score 28 goals in Bundesliga if you're a bad finisher and I would like to see the stats from that season.
spot on yet again Adam
Salah and DeBruyne didn't exactly kill it at Chelsea either
Exactly, that's always on my mind when Chelsea fans disrespect Timo Werner.
They also didn't eventually get loaned back to the PL in January by a team who are still in 4 competitions including the CL. Alarm bells must surely be ringing around his current form having played < 400 minutes for them so far this season?
De Bruyne was 18 when he signed and never got a chance. Salah was also young and was given very little opportunities to play. Werner played 89 times in two seasons and was dog shit.
Right, so much so that they started him in the CL final which they won.@@daviebananas1735
@@daviebananas1735 44 goal involvements in 89 games in not exactly dog shit.
Great content, thanks.
Subscribed. Fantastic content
Werner is gonna tear defenses like paper. Really rate this guy and will always have my love as a Chelsea fan, nice guy ready to do anything for the team.
Like he did at redbull? I think it's 17 games 2 goals? Lol
Weirdo stats merchant
@@rerwwerw5760 it's not weird at all. It's worrying 😂 he ain't good.
Good video as always COYS❤
Son can help him.
Yeah. Sonny’s confidence and German experience will help timo. This good xfer. Roll tide.
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
Actually timo is really a good player only he needs is good coach who can trust him coz he can play from any position and he is really really quick both physically and mentally. Timo is my favorite player.
You must really like strikers that miss more than they score. He is the most incompetent hack in front of goal the EPL has seen in decades, a true failure class hero.
Loved this, start to finish
To be fair, Postecoglou managed two World Cup qualifying campaigns and 1 World Cup prior to heading to Scotland via Japan.
To ne honest, I had never heard of him before now and I'm amazed at how popular he is among Spurs fans. He must be doing things right.
@@LoveToHearUSing I'd never heard of Ted Lasso until he starred in his own series 😁
Who the hell is Ted Lasso? Is that Lassies owner
@user-tu4ls7zi7u 😅Comedy series about an American gridiron coach hired by a British football team.
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.
Not laughing mate...wish he'd signed with Liverpool years ago. He would have been excellent under Klopp.
I agree, Klopp would have made him a superstar. He had excellent stats when he came from Leipzig.
Great analysis as always, Ange always knows what his doing in my opinion, scares me how strategic he is and I'm Liverpool fan
Strategic? He plays one way. And it's how football should be played (as a fan) puts bums in seats. I agree Ange sees something in him, but at redbull he was shit. Sooo maybe Ange has panic bought.
@@iceeeuuuupanic bought? It’s a 6 month loan so if he is shit he’ll be gone in the summer. He’s only been brought in to cover for sonny for a few weeks.
I slightly agree with the last point that maybe the players Timo was playing with were not the brightest because most of them failed elsewhere…. However this also tells you what a great manager Tuchel was cuz he took all of them and made them kings of Europe and also the fact that Chelsea’s downfall began from the day Tommy T left
Great video.
This guys analysis is excellent
The king is back i am still looking for a crown emoji
Ah yes, Chelsea Arsenal Liverpool and Man U, all teams that should be laughing at Tottenham's potentially questionable signings.
The irony is crazy
As a German Liverpool fan, I'm not laughing at Tottenham and anyone who does right now has no idea. This could very well be a win win for Spurs and Timo :)
Adam... is there a chance you could do something like this similar to Mykhailo Mudryk currently at Chelsea? The similarities on paper seem to be there. Mudryk operates on the left and has pace but right now is being questioned on "what's his contribution."
In Ange WE trust
I mean better than the Dragusin video… that guy suggested he play right back, like he hasn’t even seen what Spurs full backs do these days. Shocking!
Timo Werner maybe bad at finishing..but he was great we the run without ball and great player for creating space for foward..
help i love this guy so much already
Second half of the season is going to be unpredictable lot of options at the front for me personally Werner need to play as an second striker or more of an attacking midfielder .
Mo ... Salah 🧐
We create so many chances in almost every game, we just need him to score 1 or 2 of the 4/5 he’ll likely to get. At the very least, he just needs to help us press high and find a man to do the rest (Maddison/Son/Deki/whoever). Low risk, high reward. I’m all for it!
He's the perfect Ange player. COYS
Probably won't do fantastically while Son is gone, but with Son at striker for Timo to get the ball and feed it to Spurs will be lethal
Yes, he looks as if he will be a good fit for Spurs' playing style, and they have good finishers beside him, unlike Chelsea where you had Havertz, Pulisic etc ... And maybe he'll also be like Joelinton who couldn't hit a barn door as a striker but has become a great attacking midfielder.
Lampard as a coach Where is he now ?
9:36 What the hell is he talking about here? I don’t knows what xG is. -0.2 means that he basically scored the exact amount of goals he should have done given the chances he had. It’s not a bad number at all.
Kulusecski! I mean he's good looking but woah now
Ange knows what he's doing.
Thank you for using inclusive language. Some of us absolutely do not care about the fairytales of XG
"fairytales" lol
If they want xG to be useful, they should report total xG, xG scores below 0.25 trimmed, and xG below 0.5 trimmed. (A pen is xG 0.7, right?) To avoid the useless cumulative xG results that are warping high volume poor teams like 23-24 Chelsea.
I like this show he not bias towards English players I like it
“4 goals and 5 assists in his opening 15 games” mate that’s pretty good going
I think people are forgetting that his "failure in the PL" was at Chelsea. That side was a shambles and anyone would have looked bad there. Look at the players who have left that ugliness and now look good again (Pulisic, Lukaku, Rudiger, Werner).
Yeah, I remember Rüdiger. He had a hard time and is thriving again.
Frank was the manager?
I would actually wager that Toni Rudiger was the best player the moment Tuchel was appointed and remained the best during the entirety of his spell at the club. Lukaku could've but we all know how that went.
I agree, Rüdiger was great towards the end, that's why Real bought him, luckily. It was always clear to me he would never sign a new contract at Chelsea after "that incident" (hope you remember what I mean).@@iamwahman
@@LoveToHearUSing No I don't, can you remind me.
Motorway service champagne 🍾 😅
Scottish league is not the highest league that Ange has coached in. Have you heard of a little competition called the World Cup?
I only watch if it's Adam Cleary, the other Adam doesn't do it for me
Simple question. If he's so good why are Leipzig willing to loan him out in January after playing < 400 minutes for them this season across all competitions (BL, CL, 2 x domestic cups).
He's competing with 3 other strikers who are on form (Openda,Sesko and that Ronaldinho looking Austrian guy ) ,he clearly needs minutes to make it to Germany euro squad
@@moreece1713 And how many of those strikers did they buy in the summer? All 3.
Surely begs the question of why if Werner is so good? He played 40 games for them in the 22/23 season so plenty of opportunity to cement his place in the squad?
@@SW-by9ob So maybe they wanted a different sort of striker who is a lethal finisher but doesn't work so hard or create as much
Hopefully richarlison never plays now.
Werner works best as a 9 with a striking partner. He should have pushed for a loan to Madrid,Inter or even Roma
Timo was not that bad at Chelsea. Just a bad time for his transfer
I'm curious why RB Liepzig loaned him out. Was he not doing well for them?
Yes, he didn't make the starting 11 any more after having been injured for a while. He can't get the gametime he needs there right now. And he wants to fight for a place on the German national team again (lost it last year). He needs to play and score and will work his a off for Spurs.
@@LoveToHearUSing Good info. Let's hope he's reasonably match fit and can produce good form quickly for Spurs.
Did you watch the game today? Was he any good? I so hope so. @@iankemp1131
🤫 !
He’s no good…. Man Utd don’t worry about him at all…
We play a high line, your forwards will rinse it…
So does this video conclude that he shouldn't play 9 ??
'sevski, not 'secski" 😉👍🏻
Why is Liverpool laughing? We wanted him before Chelsea ruined him. I’ll take Darwin any day over him anyways. Faster and much more creative as a playmaker. Off ball movement is elite man’s always open
He’ll get 5g/3a.
bro the bundesliga is shit. I am going to put Werner in my fantasy team and post every time he doesn't score as a response.
Bundesliga in contrast to premier league has way less spendings and teams like Leverkusen Leipzig and so one are getting stronger. I don’t even want to imagine If theyd spend as much as premier league teams….
Let's do one better: please post every time he flubs an easy chance, or just completely fucks up almost any high percentage chance in front of goal. The man is a complete hack, a total failure, and an utter klutz. If he didn't have that adorable creepy CGI smile he would be hated by everyone. I find him an adorable mascot.
Dont worry lads, he was perfect for Chelsea too😂😂
Man U is laughing but also crying in secret
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.
This guy misses a lot so assume Werner will be bad
First
2nd actually but good effort.
Did he seriously say ‘Math’? Pandering to yanks who hardy watch the sport
lol this guy is stealing a living.....what a waste of money on a footballing bum.
His agents fucked up by letting him leave Leipzig to Chelsea, he's very good actually
Sounds like your a W⚓️ 🤔💁🏼♂️
Easy to understand and to listen to, great job
