Cascarino: Werner is just like Michael Owen he can't play forward alone

Cascarino says that Werner is used to playing off a big striker, much like Michael Owen.

Werner is pacy but does not have a great touch, feels Cascarino.

The former Blue suggests that Werner has to play off a striker on the left side.

However, Pulisic is Chelsea's best left-winger, Cascarino states.

"It’s a tricky one, because I’ve seen a lot of Werner and when he was at Leipzig he played alongside Poulsen who is a big centre-forward, and he played off the left of him and thrived," Tony Cascarino told TalkSPORT.

"It’s a bit like Michael Owen; Michael Owen without Emile Heskey was never going to be the same player.

"Michael was blisteringly quick but had not the greatest of touches, but he always fired goals when he had a big lad beside him to take the pressure off him.

"Werner is exactly the same to me; he is blisteringly quick, his touch is not exceptional, he’s technically not bad but not great… he can’t play centre-forward on his own.

"He just can’t, because he can’t lead a line or bring players into play. He has to play off the left side of someone.

"Pulisic is a better left-sided player than Werner in the way Chelsea play."

Timo Werner has not scored since November 7 when he found the net against Sheffield United - an 11-game run.
