Ange is the head coach mate. The director of football Johan Lange does the deals and Ange's biggest power is the option to veto signings. We loaned him in an emergency last January and then went out of our way to not pay the buy option to loan him again early in the summer. It's the most obvious box ticking/stopgap signing ever. If Ange pushed for him we would have triggered the buy option and then he wouldn't have ended up as the 4th choice left winger.

Absolutely hate when managers do this to their players. Ultimately it's on you as a manager whenever results don't go your way because you picked the players, they didn't come begging to you to start games. It's not like Werner gave away the ball so often that lead to the goal, he gave a good pass to Brennan Johnson who couldn't even finish in the first half. If a player has an off game say it was a tactical change and he needs to be rested for the next game and deal with him one to one without getting the media involved. I am a big fan of his managerial tactics but this is extremely poor and unprofessional from Ange Postecoglou.

Whatever job you are in you never ever do that to an employee. Praise in public, criticise in private.

[@jacklane3679]

The press asked Ange why he subbed him off he gave an honest answer. He's protected and praised him more than enough in the past... Werner got the ball 39 times in 45 minutes an did literally nothing: Duels won = 0/5 Dribbles successful = 0/3 Crosses accurate = 0/2 Shots on target = 0/1 Possession lost = 16 Nobody can tell me Ange's assessment was unfair, or even harsh. No team in the world would accept carrying a player that bad.

[@ricardoforest318]

Werner is always poor when the team crowd each other out. He needs space on the left on the half way line , his pace from there on a one on one is his trump card , from there he needs fast support of which only Johnson fits the bill . We don’t play to get the best out of him .

I don’t see him saying anything about the other players who have been completely off the ball for the season and the millions that have been wasted on bang average players. Ricarlison Maddison and the current captain. I have seen the other side of Timo Werner as a Chelsea player who was a great player who caused a lot of problems for the opposition and was unlucky in the amount of goals he had disallowed by a extremely tight offside decision. The fact that this embarrassment of a manager has been found out by the rest of the league and refuses to entertain the idea of a set piece coach even though they have conceded the most goals from set pieces and have a poor record of scoring from them. It’s hilarious to watch

From what I saw of Werner at Chelsea I think he puts in 100% every game. However there's one thing that epitomises his career. We had won a trophy and he's celebrating towards fans and pointing at the club logo/crest.. he missed..

[@StarkillerObl]

I'm obviously not in his head, but I'd give 85% of possibility to this scenario: The pressure is Really starting to get to him, he feels that the sacking is close and he starts to defend himself by blaming others. Classic "it's not my fault, it's his fault". It's most likely not gonna work, it might even work against him, because it might be seen as a complete loss of control and they might fire him quicker because of that.

I have always been for timo Werner and I think he’s had quality in the past but this whole season he’s been nothing but a disappointment.

[@KenAdams-x1k]

You clearly have not watched the game or understand Ange’s vision here. He’s not mad at Werner just because he was bad - he was mad because he didn’t even bring the bare minimum required from a professional player. Sure Porro and Bissouma made a lot of blunders here and there, but they still hustled and showed will to fight. Werner was sluggish the whole time, way off positioning, made passes out of bounds way too many times to be considered professional, his ball trapping skill was nonexistent, he kept dribbling over himself and couldnt deliver a single cross. There is a bare minimum you need to be able to bring to a professional, world’s largest stage, and Werner couldn’t deliver on that. Ange is mad because he knows Werner is capable of doing that, but he isn’t doing that despite all the expectations from the fans and his own teammate. Ange is simply saying out loud what all Tottenham fans are thinking, so if you Spurs fans want to be serious about winning something for once, drop this sympathy and understand what winning mentality is
