Frank Lampard insists Timo Werner being “hard on himself” due to his lack of goals is not a problem and insists the Chelsea forward will rediscover his best form. Werner arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer transfer window from RB Leipzig with a deserved reputation as one of the most prolific players in Europe. The German international struck 34 goals in all competitions last term and departed Leipzig having scored 95 times in 159 matches. Werner started off well at Chelsea too, finding the back of the net eight times in the Blues opening twelve matches of the campaign. But he has scored just once, against League Two side Morecambe in the FA Cup since.
Frank Lampard said “He’s maybe being hard on himself, But any striker worth their salt, any striker that has scored the goals he has scored, will be hard on themselves. That is how he has got to the top. He has a desire to score goals. I was happy when he came on and got into that position because that’s where I’ve seen him score so many goals in his career. And he will score them again. Being hard on himself is not a problem. I hope he feels my support. The only way through a patch where things are not quite going for you is to train and train, to keep your attitude right, to stay positive. Sometimes you need a bit of help with that, which can come from me and his teammates because we all want him to do well. We do have a competitive nature in the group and I have options in the front areas, but they all want each other to do well.”
