That does, of course, bring into question his finishing and the fact that two games with good chances failed to bring a return on the scoresheet but it also creates promise that Werner's rate will improve in the future with significantly better opportunities coming his way on a more regular basis.

On the surface, Werner's overall xG and xA rate under Tuchel has decreased slightly compared with the Lampard era. In the Premier League and Champions League, he's gone from 0.51 xG per 95 minutes to 0.47. The assists figure has gone from 0.15 to 0.09. However, the headline figures don't tell the full story.
