How could he be classed as overrated when 90% of SC thought this is what we'd get, a mixed bag?I think he’s one of the most overrated players we have ever had, He’s decent but I think in a few years time we will consider him average. There’s nothing wrong with that but he is what he is. A decent player.
Overrated? Tons of people don't seem to rate him at all and I haven't seen anybody saying anything more than he is a good player. I don't know what it is about Werner but he appears to attract some very odd opinions in here.I think he’s one of the most overrated players we have ever had, He’s decent but I think in a few years time we will consider him average.

I'm guessing you're right but we ought to acknowledge we really know for sure. Not enough evidence. And not sure what's left of Solomon after the injuryThink he is better than Solomon
We'll have to wait and see I guess but I've not seen anything that says that the club want to make it permanent which makes me think as I do you are free to disagree.I'm not touchy at all but I have to say again I'm afraid I don't understand at all how you are coming to your conclusion. You even say in this comment that Ange has said about strikers not reading the situation and not expecting the ball coming across. Yet you link this to a perceived criticism of Werner who is the player usually cutting the ball back to those strikers. It just doesn't make much sense what you are saying.
Out of interest why do you say he so ‘overrated’ I dont think anyone on here is particularly waxing lyrical about him, most seem to agree that he is fast, is a half decent threat and a nice bloke who works hard but that he is also wasteful and not particularly clinical in front of goal.
Don’t think anyone is particularly overrating him tbh and if it wasn’t for the reasonable £15mil buy option then a lot of us would be saying no thanks.

Strangely Werner contributed more to the result than Madds who gave the ball away quite a lot too. Werner wasn’t great but he injected a moment of quality that frankly others didn’t find across 90 minutes.Noticed more than one occasion last night where Maddison was getting really frustrated with Timo losing the ball or making a poor pass.
In the end he stopped passing to him.
I think Brennan Johnson did with his run to meet that moment of quality and score the goal.Strangely Werner contributed more to the result than Madds who gave the ball away quite a lot too. Werner wasn’t great but he injected a moment of quality that frankly others didn’t find across 90 minutes.
Great post, spot on in my opinion.I like Timo and think he would be good value for the money in the summer, but he definitely was not ‘fine’ yesterday. After the assist he was awful and his failure to do one of the most basic jobs of a winger in Ange’s system probably cost us the game.
3 times he could have had a tap in if he just attacks the far post when crosses come in. First half even savage noticed he stood behind the defender when Johnson put a brilliant ball across, get goal side and it’s a tap in. Later in the half, Johnson puts another one across and same story, he’s on his heels. Then in the second half Sarr puts a great ball in and he needs to do exactly what Johnson did for the goal - get in front of his man and it’s a tap in again. Ironically the only time he attacked a cross he was offside and made a cracking defensive header when Sarr had a really good chance.
The good news is this is surely coachable and when Ange made his ‘joystick’ remarks I’m pretty sure Timo is top of the list for that video review of where his movement let us down
He needs to be braver in attacking the ball too. He had 2 opportunities from crosses across goal but just stayed on his heels and left itHe needs to stay behind after training and work on his finishing.
But, at least Maddison was trying to be positive, my main gripe with Werner was why didn’t he try to take on the full back again, he was in the same position a few times but either gave it away or passed backwards?Strangely Werner contributed more to the result than Madds who gave the ball away quite a lot too.
