Also apart from the two against Villa and BHA at Christmas all his goals came in either his honeymoon period (and even then it was clear just how much he was taking away from the system, Villa at home could have easily scored 4 in the first half) or the end of season dead rubbers with the title looking long gone and top 4 pretty much secure.

I'm at an absolute loss at to why anyone would want him back.

I'd imagine he's now having second thoughts LOL.

The devil is always in the detail !

Summed up beautifully...

Same guy who says this about Timo praises Broja and Mudryk.

Couldn't make it up.

He misses chances but his movement is the reason why he got so many to begin with and we always looked a better team with him in the side.

Not sure you anyone could seriously argue any of Mudryk, Madueke, Broja, Pulisic, Ziyech have been better than Timo for us 

We'd be doing backflips if any of them got 23 goals and 21 assists in 2 seasons.

Another 16 goals last year so thrilled about him going to Spurs hopefully he could do well there.

 

Timo "Off-Side" Werner? Couldn't control his own bladder. Had a worse first touch than Jimmy Saville.

Not a surprise seeing that plum bigging up a Spurs signing over Chelsea players....

Scored a quality header. Very close with another one, and had the ball cleared off the line after rounding the keeper and making the chance himself.

Very tight angle that last one.

After his horror injury he will need lots of time and games to overcome it. Unfortunately he is now expected to be the main man while Jackson is out so getting time and patience is not going to happen from a lot of the fanbase.

Could see his confidence rocket after that goal, his touch, passing, shooting all suddenly had much more purpose.

A striker gain a boost from a goal, who would have thought!

Doesn't always work that way though. Werner scored two months ago, now look how his career has turned foul.

Doesn't seem to have worked for Jackson. 

Took his goal well. There's something to be said of the magic of the cup in whipping it in to a lump of a centre forward.

Took his time to get into a decent position though a couple of times dangerous balls ended up with Enzo and Palmer on the end while Broja was star gazing 15 yards away.

Don't think there's a PL player in there but his first intentional goal since his injury will do him some good and hopefully some scouts only switched on at half time.

Trouble is he was anonymous first half, nice tight control neat touches but not a player who appears to be able to hold up play. Took his goal well, nearly had a second but disappeared when the ball wasn't near him. Hope, as Ive said here he pulls his finger out because this is and may be his only chance to impress poch. 

He's now got a month to show what he's capable of, thankfully after his goal, he improved quite a lot, so obviously more a confidence issue.

People forget he was 9 months out. Not only did that affect him psychologically, but hindered his development too at such a young age. 

Furthermore, his confidence seem very low, due to criticism from fans, injury, form etc. We saw once he scored that goal, became a little more confident and nearly scored 2 more thereafter. 

Yes, he has lots of work to do like for instance positioning and he is far from perfect but he has being at chelsea since 8 yrs old and i refuse to give up on him and its very sad when you hear people calling him donkey etc from our fan base nonetheless.

Good luck finding one. 

You can call bournemouth for Solanke, 100m

way worse than house prices, even in Sydney

 

I like Broja, I've probably been a bit harsh on him lately. I really really really want him to succeed, it's just too many games have passed him by and at the end of the day we need more from him. The fact is he hasn't been good enough in front of goal, and sometimes you can get away with that if you're doing other things, such as bringing other players into the fold but he's ghosted too many games.

Fingers crossed this game becomes a catalyst of sorts and we start seeing the Broja before he was injured and had a long layoff. 

Was hoping he would get the benefit of some regular games now with N'kunku alongside or behind him, something Broja has not had yet.

 

Still not sure on him... Hope he can kick on 

i was extremely disappointed by NJ and Broja and then i saw Nunez..
