Redknapp compares Werner to Drogba

People forget werners young, has come from a different league, and plays up top or on the flank.

Probably the first time he's had a real crisis of confidence but he hasn't gone hiding. He may not be the goal machine some hoped but he is clearly a better player than he is showing atm

His versatility problem doesn't help or having a boss under pressure, with little experience. I'd say it's a bit of a cop out on frank part, celebrating what a coup he was, but n putting him out wide when he goes a few games without a goal. Not sure that's the best way to reverse his form.

Torres had the same situation when coming to Liverpool. Young, different country.. scored v Chelsea in his first appearance sending Tal Ben Haim for a taxi.

Drogba relied on his physical presence and give as good as he got from the biggest CBs, in the league. I can't Timo even having a sniff, against them tbh.

Timo is more technical and on the floor type of striker, whereas Drogba was an aerial and physcial monster!

Jamie Redknapp is clueless AF!
Shows his lack of knowledge in that game show!

Not often I agree with you but this 100%

After hearing reo-cokers commentary during the river plate v Santos game the other day though I think red knap has some competition 😅

This is true. Lampard isn't helping Werner. It's almost like Chelsea signed without Lampard having any idea how he wanted to utilise Werner.

Yes but he had a boss who played to his strengths where as I think from watching Chelsea, they don't play to suit werners style.

When torres arrived u knew Gerrards main job was set him free asap. When I watch Chelsea I just don't see that. To be fair, Chelsea have a stronger squad than when Liverpool did when they bought torres, meaning werner isn't as essential to them as torres was to pool.

I do think that's relevant. I'll also say I've not seen werners at any point of his career look like he would replicate a prime torres but I may be proved wrong. They are similar in style

Torres was never the same player post-injury lost 2 yards of pace

He was in exactly the right place yesterday... Technically he's generally poor, so which is it wahl... He's not good enough or it's lampard's fault

its both, it doesn't have to be one or the other

Take it you’re just putting that out for comment. Rather than as a continuation of that discussion.

I'm putting it there hoping Werner doesn't follow suit
