Timo Werner has explained how a tweak in his position under Thomas Tuchel contributed to his match-winning performance against Sheffield United.
There has been a notable improvement in Werner’s fortunes in recent matches, none more so than on last night’s Premier League trip to Bramall Lane, when he created both our goals in a 2-1 win.
The freedom he has been given to alternate between playing on the shoulder of defenders and dropping deep between the lines was evident as he looked a constant threat throughout that victory with his running on and off the ball.
The German revealed after the game that a change to his role in the team since Tuchel took over as our head coach,
playing more centrally and closer to his fellow forwards, is helping him find and exploit space on the pitch to attack defences.
