Everyone's favorite son: The Timo Werner thread

Good thing they didn't. Werner wouldn't be the player he is today just sitting on the bench and playing 4th division football.

 

I think he will be heading to Real Madrid or Barcelona before 2019

If he plays well during WC 2018, he might join these teams next summer

7 goals and 2 assists in 10 games for the NT.

 

Low singled out goalscorer Timo Werner for specific praise after the RB Leipzig forward scored his seventh goal of the year.

"Timo showed the game that we want to see from him," added the national coach. "He goes deep and is always dangerous.

"He has had a great year with us."

Özil's vision on that goal is exactly why he needs to play a big role this summer. Werner makes the kind of runs that a player like Özil will feast on.

Well, he surely learned from the penalty against Bayern in DFB Pokal!

only thing missing on that list is Golden Boot Winner at the Confederations Cup.

his 2nd CL goal this season!

that's one powerful kick.
Now at 3 CL goals this season. One more and he gets a hat trick.

 

Timo Werner just cannot stop.

That's 14 goals in 21 games for club and country this season ⚽️🔥#UCL #RBLASM 0-2 pic.twitter.com/M1Gjso5Mpl

since this was posted before his 2nd goal. I guess the accurate stat is
15 goals in 21 games for club and country!

 

He scores for fun doesn’t he?

 

those 2 goals today, also gives him double digit goals in all club competition.

that stat is more impressive when one takes into account.
-he has 3 assists, so 15 goals+3 assists in 21 games. That's just 3 goals or assists short of being 21 for 21.
-for like 2 or 3 games played he had his health issues.
-The double Bayern games, his team went down to 10 men in both games. Not much one can do. In 1 game of those 2 he scored 2 offside goals while being 10 men. While in the other he was subbed off as a "tactical" move after only 22 minutes was played in the 1st half.

 

And Werner is after 5 games of the GS the leading Bundesliga scorer in the CL this season.

1-Werner, 3 goals in 5 games, played 239 minutes, averaging a goal every 80 minutes.
2-Kimmich, 2 goals in 5 games, played 357 minutes, averaging a goal every 179 minutes
3-Lewa, 2 goals in 4 games, played 360 minutes, averaging a goal every 180 minutes
4-Forsberg, 2 goals in 5 games, played 412 minutes, averaging a goal every 206 minutes
5-Auba, 2 goals in 5 games, played 450 minutes, averaging a goal every 225 minutes

one should also take into account that this is the 1st ever CL season for Werner. Kimmich, Lewa, Auba, and even Forsberg (played while he was in the Swedish league) have all played CL before this season.

Former Bundesliga striker and 1 time top scorer Ailton considers Lewa and Werner to be the best strikers in the Bundesliga. Of course Werner is after Lewa according to him.

and here's Bremen CB Moisander, view on Werner.
"There are many fast players in the Bundesliga who do not know how to use their speed. Werner is one of the few who goes to the interfaces of the defense at exactly the right moment. He has perfect running paths. At the moment he is one of the best strikers in Europe. "

 

RB lead 1-0.
Werner did not score or assist but what he did was block a key defender which allowed Keita's shoot to go through. If Werner didn't block the defender, Keita's shoot would never have went through.
