Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to react to Timo Werner’s performance against Bayern Munich on Sunday evening.The 29-cap Germany international was starting in attack for Julian Nagelsmann at the Allianz Arena, in what was a top-of-the-table clash – Bayern Munich are only one point ahead of RB Leipzig at the top of the Bundesliga.
In Werner’s case, he was looking to add to his already impressive tally of 20 goals in just 21 Bundesliga appearances this season – he has also registered six assists.
The Liverpool target – James Pearce of The Athletic said he has been mentioned as an option in a Q&A session – ended up drawing a blank as the two sides played out a 0-0 draw, although it was not for the want of trying for Werner, who had five shots on goal.
The 23-year-old also embarked on four dribbles and was fouled twice, while recording one key pass.
He also missed a sitter, but we will excuse him due to his absurd goalscoring numbers so far this term.
Let’s see what the Liverpool fans on Twitter were saying about his performance…
To kick off the reaction, @LFC_Wahome tweeted in defence of the striker as if Werner was already a Liverpool player!
This fan also added that the German “has to be got” as he “would hugely improve our squad” – it’s hard to argue with that claim.
Elsewhere, these two supporters pinpointed some traits of Werner’s that they liked.
Grizz highlighted the forward’s versatility – he has appeared in the centre and on the left throughout this season according to WhoScored – and said that the RB Leipzig No.11 is “just the type of flexible fluid attacker” who would fit right in at Anfield.
Tony then said that Werner works hard, is quick and direct, while he also has quality – this fan also said that he would be “perfect for Klopp” to mould into one of the world’s best.
Meanwhile, this pair of Liverpool supporters mentioned how Werner would perform under Klopp.
@LFCismyblood said that the prolific attacker would “be a monster under Klopp” while Freyt said that there is “no doubt” that the RB Leipzig man would flourish under the former Borussia Dortmund boss.
Lastly, this supporter had a slightly different view on Werner’s performance.
Someone’s got to own them: Who do these incredibly unwanted PL records belong to?
‘LFC IS LIFE’ simply tweeted that the German was “dropping a disaster-class” against Bayern Munich – after his goalscoring feats so far, surely this fan can forgive him.
In other news, these Liverpool fans think a “masterclass from Edwards” is incoming…
