‘So happy’, ‘Superb’: Some Chelsea fans praise 24-year-old’s display vs Newcastle United – originally posted on Sportslens.com
A selection of Chelsea fans on Twitter praised the performance of Timo Werner during the club’s 2-0 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League last night.
The Germany international has shown an improvement in his displays since Thomas Tuchel took charge as the manager last month but he was still misfiring in front of goal.
On Monday, the 24-year-old turned up with a superb display where he created the first goal for Olivier Giroud before tapping up the club’s second before the break.
The goal ended a run of 14 games and 100 days without finding the back of the net in the league and many Blues fans were delighted for the forward.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter.
Werner has 19 G/A this season, apparently he’s a “flop” though and our “worst signing” pic.twitter.com/RTU69NITsm

Timo Werner named man of the match.
That’s back to back PL man of the matches from Chelsea’s “flop”

I’m so happy for Werner because he’s actually looked very threatening under Tuchel, he’s not been getting the goals but has looked much more confident in his runs and on the ball lately, if even 1 of Werner / Ziyech / Havertz / Pulisic hits form we will finish top 4, no doubt. pic.twitter.com/A7z3XZJC9G

Werner superb performance. Not the most enjoyable player to watch for me personally but his work rate is admirable tbh. Going to the top.

Werner was inconsistent under former manager Frank Lampard and went through a phase where he was restricted to a role off the substitutes’ bench.
The same was the case in Tuchel’s first game incharge last month but he has since stepped up with one goal and three assists from four matches.
He appears to be getting back to the form which made him one of Europe’s most-wanted strikers at RB Leipzig and that should only boost the Blues’ top-four prospects.
With the win at St James’ Park, the Blues moved into the fourth position ahead of David Moyes’ West Ham United on goal difference.
It is the first time since December 5 that they have returned to the Champions League places. The Blues will face struggling Southampton in their next fixture on Saturday.
