Former Chelsea star, pat Nevin appreciates Chelsea’s German striker, Timo Werner to score a goal in the 4-0 win against Morecambe in the FA Cup game at Stamford Bridge. Timo Werner gave it an end to his goal drought of 12 games and Nevin claims that real strikers do not hide during their struggle to find the form.
The German internationals form has been so bad lately that several pundits asked coach Lampard to drop him off the starting XI. However, Lampard has kept his faith and assured everyone saying players lose form and getting back the form and regaining confidence is just a matter of time.
“Clearly four goals and a clean sheet is just what Frank Lampard wanted, and he would also have been delighted by the identities of the scorers,’ Nevin told Chelsea’s official website:
“Timo Werner has been getting into the right positions all the way through his recent barren run in front of goal and that would have given his boss some relief and belief. Real strikers never hide, they are always hungry and they invariably believe that the next chance will be taken and that it will also be the first in the next good scoring run.
“Timo’s goal was particularly heartening as it was a move we have already seen before, but we will also expect to see much more often as the months and years go by. Kai Havertz’s nodded knockdown looked very simple, but that is because it has been his stock in trade throughout his short career. Back in the Bundesliga, he had an incredible knack for getting into the penalty area just at the right moment and being cool when he got there.”
“It helps when you have a great Hakim Ziyech ball to get on the end of. If that positioning was quintessential Havertz then Hakim’s left-foot cross, after cutting inside, was classic Hakim. I honestly think that those types of crosses, with that level of accuracy and whip, are pretty close to impossible to defend when you have a willing runner on the end of it.”
Several questions were asked about Werner and his teammate, Kai Havertz as well regarding if they are worthy of wearing the Blue shirt. Both players scored their goals in the victory and this display has impressed Nevin.
He is proud of how the two fellow players have not put their heads down during tough times and have said that the sun is about o rise again. The ex-Chelsea star also praised Hakim Ziyech’s left-foot by saying that it is impossible to defend his ball. Having a willing runner to follow the magical crosses from Hakim Ziyech will reap benefits to the team in the long run, claims Nevin,
