Tuchel explains his plan to get the best out of Timo Werner

Tuchel will hope to bring the best out of Timo Werner 


Amongst the things on Thomas Tuchel's to-do list is to get Timo Werner finding form and firing again in a Chelsea Shirt. 

Werner signed for Chelsea in the summer and begun his Blue's career impressively scoring eight goals in his first thirteen appearances. Since then however, he has scored only once in 16 games, the most recent being a penalty miss against Luton in the Fa cup fourth round.

Having seen and faced Werner during his managerial spells in Germany, Tuchel is fully aware of his fellow compatriots ability, as well as his ability to play in his role and hopes to help Werner showcase it.

On Werner's body language Tuchel explained 'At the moment he has a closed face as there is a huge weight on his shoulders.' 

'He does care a lot, this is reflected in his character. Sometimes being a striker it could help that you care a lot; sometimes you would thing it's better to not care at all, but he is not that type of character.'

'He does care, however, he is just not happy with himself and the way things have gone currently. It is important right now for him to rebuilt the trust in himself, try and re-find a smile back on his face, and stop having doubts on himself so much.' It is my responsibility to help him with this, and then find him a position where we can play to his strengths.'

'From analysing his profile I see that he prefers to have space, said Tuchel as he turned his focus on finding Werner's best position. 

'He is very quick and likes to play on the last line, slightly higher up the pitch more towards the left so that he is open towards the opponents goal where he can receive balls into open space.'

'A question to be asked is could we develop movement. patterns and behaviour in order to use his quality in small spaces? That is my job and I'm convinced we can because he is young, open minded, friendly and is eager to learn.'

Mason Mount and Thomas Tuchel following Chelsea's 0-0 draw with Wolves  There will have been eyebrows raised when Thomas Tuchel did not select Mason Mount in his first starting line-up however the new boss is is already seeing the enormous ability and passion that the midfielder possesses.  Tuchel painfully pointed that his team selection against Wolves may well have been the most unfair in his reign at Chelsea when you consider he only had one training session which to work with his new players.  The decision made to omit Mount , a regular starter in all but two league games up to that point and most noticeably Chelsea's main in form player was always likely to be met with raised eyebrows, however, Tuchel simply insisted that he simply chose to play experience during a difficult time. He is however, now excited to help the 22 year old midfielder flourish.  At today's press conference the German said 'I currently like what I am seeing from Mason so far, he has an amazin

Chelsea make three changes from the midweek game in Romania against Atletico Madrid  There are returns for Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech and N'Golo Kante to Thomas Tuchel's side as Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge for this afternoons game. The trio to miss out are Marcos Alonso, Jorginho and Timo Werner who all drop to the bench. This means the Olivier Giroud will lead the line up front following his brilliant performance in Romania on Tuesday, with the attacking support being provided by both Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech. The goalkeeper and the back three remain unchanged with Edouard Mendy protected at the back by Cesar Azpiliqueta, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger. The wing-backs will be Ben Chilwell and Callum-Hudson-Odoi, with Matteo Kovacic partnered by Kante in the centre of midfield. When asked about his decision to select Ziyech over Werner, Tuchel said: 'For me Hakim is a different type of player. He deserves to start. His impact in the gam

Thomas Tuchel saw a run of five wins in a row come to an end as Chelsea drew 1-1 in today's lunchtime kick-off against Southampton, however the subject of much of Thomas Tuchel's analysis after the game was the sharpness required to score goals to win a game whilst keeping it tight defensively. Thomas Tuchel on the touchline during Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Southampton Tuchel saw his side go behind for the first time in the seven games that he has been in charge as head coach when Southampton scored on the counter attack in the first half. A penalty in the second half from Mason Mount secured a point for Chelsea. Despite Chelsea conceding their first goal scored by an opposition player under Tuchel, the German was very content with the way that his team played at St Mary's apart from Chelsea's work in and around the penalty area. Tuchel regretfully said 'we created opportunities which in the end were not opportunities'.  'We opened up a lot of space for our
