\"It wasn\u2019t criticism. It was an assessment. He\u2019s [Werner] an international, he\u2019s won the Champions League, he\u2019s a senior player. There\u2019s a level of application you need to rise to, to raise the team. He didn\u2019t reach that. It\u2019s just an assessment of his performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"On a really challenging night for us, which we knew going into it, he needs to be better. We\u2019re in a fight here. I\u2019m not going to go away worrying about people\u2019s bruised egos. We\u2019re here to win things,\u201d said Ange Posteciglu in the pre-game conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Werner was certainly not up to the mark as he lost possession 16 times, did not win any of his five duels and only completed 69% of his passes on a painful night for his team in the 1-1 draw against Rangers. Since joining the North London side in January 2024, Werner has played in 33 games for his side and scored only three goals and provided six assists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe wasn\u2019t playing anywhere near the level he should. When you\u2019ve got 18-year-olds [playing], it\u2019s not acceptable to me. I said that to Timo.. He\u2019s a senior international, he\u2019s a German international. In the moment we\u2019re in right now, it\u2019s not like we\u2019ve got many options. I need everyone to at least be going out there trying to give the best of themselves. His performance in the first half wasn\u2019t acceptable,\u201d Ange had stated after the game against Rangers on Friday (IST).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
