Timo Werner Misses Yet Another Big Chance For Chelsea As Goal Drought Continues

Timo Werner missed a gilt-edged chance against West Ham and has now gone nine games in all competitions without a goal.

Werner failed to find the back of the net as Chelsea beat West Ham 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

He had a glorious opportunity to score his fifth Premier League goal of the season, but fluffed his lines inside the box.

Fans on social media, including Chelsea supporters, didn't hold back.

One Twitter user wrote: "Oh Werner what are you doing."

A second tweeted: "Timo Werner needs to be dropped, this sh*t cannot continue anymore."

A third added: "It's not new knowledge that Werner is a poor finisher."

Speaking before Monday's game against The Hammers, Werner admitted that he's struggling with adapting to the Premier League.

"It does matter how much you cost. It's always a bit of pressure when you come to a new club," he said.

"But I think I can handle it very well. It's not something new.

"The pressure is a little bit higher than the previous years but I think good footballers are the best under pressure and that's my plan, I can do very well under pressure.

"The Premier League is a little bit different to my old league. It's tougher than I thought. The contact here is harder than in Germany, it's what I expected but not like this."
