Timo Werner

Gianfranco Zola has claimed that Chelsea forward Timo Werner, who has not scored in 12 matches, is best utilised when he is on the flanks. The German international started his time with Chelsea in a flourish after scoring a string of goals. All of his four league goals for Chelsea came several months ago. In order to try and reclaim his form, Lampard has tried to utilise Werner in a number of positions. The striker was played as the number nine in the recent match against Manchester City, which ended as a 3-1 loss. Werner was once again poor with not a great deal of offensive threat.

The striker has been immensely prolific throughout his career but he has been struggling to get the right kind of ingredients at Chelsea. Due to the number of offensive options available for Lampard, it appears that the Chelsea boss is not sure about the best position for Werner.Zola has tried to help his former teammate out by suggesting that the German international would be better off playing in the left side of the attacking three.
